Shimmer of Vanir

Shimmer of Vanir

 

A small island at the entrance of fjord.

It was a totally new place for me and the newness of the surroundings slowly started to refract -like a mirror- a new angle inside of me where I never recognized before or have seen but just forgotten after my childhood.

 

At first moment, a huge crack —visibly and invisibly- assaulted me. I was confronting to a huge power of sea bottoms or rocks formed by glacier though more than tens of thousands of years. I felt my impression started to model a crack inside me and I felt it may lead me to confront toward something the ancient nordic people named Troll.

I thought it might bring me a very strong images and it was a huge temptation with a rubbernecking with shudder. But at the same time, I felt something blinking from unknown direction inside me. So I didn’t choose the first game trail and kept being while in the maze.

Then I continued to grope my new surroundings with my camera.

 

Secondly, a huge mass —visibly and invisibly- squelched me. I was confronting to a huge energy of mountains and forest with falls and rivers running through more than tens of thousands of years. I felt my impression started to model a huge mass inside me and I felt it may lead me to confront toward something the ancient nordic people named elves.

I thought it might bring me a very deep images and it was a huge temptation with a rubbernecking with shudder. But at the same time, I felt something still blinking from unknown direction inside me. So I didn’t choose the second game trail and kept being while in the maze.

Then I continued to grope my new surroundings with my camera.

 

Thirdly, a huge wave -visibly and invisibly- inhaled me. I was surrounded by a huge variety of surfs, winds, shines vibrating through more than tens of thousands of years.

I felt my impression started to model a pile up of waves inside me and I felt it may lead me to confront toward something the ancient nordic people named for sure but I didn’t know the name as I had very short knowledge related to this place.

So I started to capture some keywords coming through my camera and tried to grab the blinking things existing in somewhere inside me. It was like just a slight shines come out unexpectedly from many phases like shines of waves or leafs. It was nothing concrete. After a while, I happened to hit to the almost forgotten name “Vanr” or “Vanir” who were one of two groups of gods associated with fertility, wisdom, nature, magic and ability to see the future in nordic mythology.

It is maybe a huge delusions of mine but when I came across to “Vanir”, I felt I was connected with the ancient people here in nordic area.

“Vanir” shows up at the very first part of Norse mythology, and soon they are kind of vanished by the the other group of gods “Æsir” after “Æsir–Vanir War”.

 

I felt it is connected to the phenomenon inside the people. Maybe it is related to what we vanished through our childhood.

But it is not really vanished.

It is always here and there just in a glance moment like an existence of Higgs boson which is called as “god particle” in quantum physics or particle physics which is very difficult to grab the evidence of existence.

 

I thought the vanish of “Vanir” in mythology is telling us about something important.

I am not a mythology scholar so I am not trying to analyze the mythology but I am trying to dig my “Vanir” inside me through the lights I was radiated in this new place with new mirror.
