My world blends Heathenry, runes, seiðr, mythology, Buddhism, Hindu philosophy, occultism, transhumanism, AI, VR, open-source technology, gaming, wilderness, and nomadic living. I create articles, digital worlds, autonomous AI companions, computer code, and experimental digital systems while pursuing sovereignty, frith, authenticity, lifelong learning, human–AI partnership, and a life lived according to my own deeply personal culture.
