My name is Rod, but everyone usually calls me Rod. You can use either one; I'm not picky.
This site includes things that interest me, and which will, hopefully, interest you. There are pictures, not only of me in my kilt, but of my beloved wife Liz and other things as well. You will find a link to some text files. I've written most of them and will be putting more up soon. I hope these files will be useful. My interests are eclectic and wide ranging. I'm a writer, an artist, a Norse Pagan with a great interest in the runes, a practitioner of magic/k and much more. While starting out learning Reiki, I've long since branched out with my own systems.
Text Files including magickal instruction as well as stories
Rún Valdr is a new energy system that has similarities to Reiki that I developed using runes and other symbols that I received from my Gods, Odin and Freyja. Unlike Reiki, it is a magical system rather than a healing system, but you can use it to heal if you want.
Ljos Valdr is both an expansion of Rún Valdr as well as something very different and new. It's source of power is a plane of existance made of light. The system is more potent than Rún Valdr and has far more potential. It also contains a ceremonial magickal system as well as the use of symbols similar to how Rún Valdr is done.
Reiki - I've decided to remove the links to my Reiki practice since I don't use Reiki anymore. I only deal with Rún Valdr now (and soon only Ljos Valdr). Personally, I find Rún Valdr to be superior to Reiki.
City of Heroes/Villains
Costume ideas I want to see in the game. Granted the game is pretty much dead, although you can still play it. I don't expect these designs to make it into the game at all. But they are pretty.
Now a little bit about me. I have always tried to be a Renaissance sort of a person and to live up to the ancient Celtic Warrior practice of working the mind as well as the body. I live in Ann Arbor, MI with my wife and cat.I've been involved with the Occult since 1989 officially, and have been an active Pagan since 1993. I've practiced the martial arts since 1987 and am a black belt in Tang Soo Do (although I'm a bit rusty). I used to teach with NAAMA karate at the Madison Height, MI dojo until 1997, but left due to another job. I also studied Bujinkan Taijitsu (ninja stuff) for several years.
I am a member of ADF- A Druid Fellowship and belong to Shining Lakes Grove, ADF and have interests in magick, and general Druid stuff. I am also very interested in Norse Runes and in Qi Gong as well.
I am a Master/Teacher of Usui, Sacred Path, Karuna™, Seichim, Tera Mai, and several other forms of Reiki. I've given many attunements and healings, both hands on and over distance. I am also the founder of Rún Valdr, an energy system using Runes and other symbols. I don't practice Reiki anymore, devoting my time and energy to Rún Valdr and Ljos Valdr.
To sum up, I'm a Capricorn with Gemini rising. My motto is "Knowledge is Power."
