The Oslords

Oslords are the divine spirit-beings. By divine we mean abstract. By spirit-being we mean a being that has movement and activity but no obvious physical body that we can see. Oslords are the purest kind of spirit-being defined by abstract characteristics.

The Oslords are the divine powers - the abstract powers invisible to the eye but known by the effects they produce.

RIGHTLORD

The Rightlord is the most important of the Oslords. The Rightlord seeks to regulate situations so that they create the best possible conditions for living beings. The Rightlord has perfect knowledge of the pre-existing circumstances and perfect knowledge of the Natural Law or BLOOMLAW which originates out of the intrinsic nature of things themselves.

The Rightlord is also known as TIEW. Tiew is the power which sparks the radiant fire of living joy.

The Rightlord is also known as WIZDER. Wizder is wisdom - the good patterns of thoughts and action which have been developed out of a long process of imagination-testing out and feedback and which have become established in the mind.

REDELORD

The Redelord is the Advising and Guiding Lord. The Redelord guides and transforms us so that we become instruments of the Rightlord.

The Redelord may be seen as WODEN or else as a trio of WODEN, FREYA and BALDER. Woden is especially the one who encourages and cajoles us to face reality. Freya is especially the one who speaks to our emotions and feelings. Balder is especially the one who helps transform the character of our minds so that they can see the world the better.

OTHER OSLORDS:

THUNNER breaks through resistance and the enclosures of giants to free the waters which are the resources of life that we may have have a place in which to live.

FRIGGER is the power which brings Love, Friendship and Care.

INGFREY is the power which enhances the general prosperity by supporting the growth of what is helpful and retarding the growth of what is unhelpful.

WODDER is the stimulating power - the father of all . In contrast to TIEW , WODDER is amoral and the stimulation may have good or bad effects. WODDER is also known as GREATWODEN and is distinguished from WODEN who is the righteous guiding power.

BALDER is the being who purifies our minds and hearts that they engage most fully in the service of the whole undistorted by selfish impulses. Balder helps wake us from the dream we imagine to be the real world so that we see a true likeness of the essential reality (BEDOM).

HODDER is the being who makes warriors of us that we can defeat those who harm us. Hodder is focussed on his immediate surroundings and is blind to the wider context. Thus Hodder may easily be turned to bad purpose unless guided by a right-seeing being such as Balder.
