The Cunning Rustic

Cᴇʀɴᴜɴɴᴏs - The name appears only once, a fragment on a Roman pillar in France. The ‘C’ is missing now, but 18th century drawings show it once existed there. The very name likely means ‘horned’.

Sacred to my Celtic ancestors, the images of the horned one meld with the lore of my Saxon ancestors. Sometimes he is the lord of the hunt, like Woden, sometimes the lord of the wights like Freyr (who gave away his sword to fight with antlers). His Roman, Celtic and Saxon influences have often led me down a confusing, syncretic path. Yet, to know the Old Ones, isn’t to learn them from books, but to feel them when in solitude, and then recognize them when they are seen.

Oh, Horned God of Albion, I see you and am awakened.

It’s been a while coming, friends but it makes sense. You’ll get all the same content (maybe even more), including my spiritual musings, carvings, shows and adventures with Gili. It’s time to reflect the journey that I have been on, from my little attempt at a blog, to a full time business in service to Spirit, both my own and that of the Ancient Powers. I sincerely hope you’ll follow me on this journey and we can chat about the things that inspire, challenge and motivate us.

Facebook won’t allow me to make the change to this page (unlike instagram)😞. PLEASE SEND A FOLLOW TO Albion Grove and help me recover! The Cunning Rustic page will be up for a little while, but content will be moved over soon.

Albion Grove will be manifesting at the Jacksonville Tattoo Convention. We will be surrounded by the dance of a thousand needles, rapt in the buzz of art and pain! We will have our usual array of handcrafted ritual items, bone jewelry, esoteric books, drinking horns and more. Come and decorate the walls of your temple with ink and bone!
