This is the first part of a series of Thursian Grimoires

that will be published under the title Dursalcyngi' It will
be a series ofbooks regarding a chain ofsubjects related
to the Thursatru Tradition (or its true name f n[Lllll[\ )'

The first in the series is The Essence of Thursian Sorcery,

which is an outline for the foundation of the Thursatru
Tradition, its roots being in pre-Christian Norse tra-
ditions and certain Gnostic streamsl along with its estab-
iished customs and Praxis'

There will be numerous books in the series, e'g' Practical

Thursian Sorceryt which is a grimoire holding the reli-
gious and sorcerous practices within the existent Cult
of
the Thurses.

It was chosen to become a series of books to leave open

the option of focusing on certain areas in each book'
which offers the opportunity of giving each area more
depth and room. A large amount of different subiects are
already written, as bursalcyngl was originally planned to
be just one book, but the more that was written the more
it was understood that this work would have to be in
volumes. This also opens the door for new discoveries,
corrections, developments, etc., to be supplemented.
3n6
The major topics in this book series will involve the in_
nards of the Thursatru Tradition such as spiritual work_
ings, rune mysteries and practical magic, Thursian sor_
cery and worship such as the Nifl- and Mrispell_
workings, interpretation and understandings of the
Norse mythology and gigantology, Hel-workings, syn_
thesis of pre-Christian Norse, Gnostic and Sinister LHp
perspectives, werewolfism and shape-shiftlng within the
Hamr-workings, etc.

Scandinavian belief in assiduous and primordial

powers
from Ginnungagap-Cha os called pursar (thurses),
hence
the tradition's name bursatril,Anglicized into Thursatru.
There is no direct evidence of such worship amongst
the
Norsemery but there was a well-established and
evolved

t There are of belief in

course
many examples of the pre-
Christian belief in the
thurses as an alien power-
ful giant-race inthe Eddas,
e.g. Vdluspti 8: <<uns prjdr

three Thurs-maids come,
very mighry from out'of

Ginnungagap and its alien
powers called the giants, pursar.\ It is
from this the deep-ro otedbelief bursa_
trihas risen.
It is also important to understand that
bursatri is not a perverted outcome of
the modern praxis called Asatro. The

names might be alike and therefore
_,{

deluding, but the Asatro belief has

t6
 nothing to do with our religious praxis. The Cult of the

I Thurses seeks the divine truth; in knowledge and es-

Dursalcyngi is the collection of texts which should be used

as guidelines for the Thursatru Follower to help establish

to the Norse religious belief in modern books you should

ry
The pre-Christian Norse polltheistic religion, its rites
and ceremonies are termed Pagan just for the fact that
they are deemed non-Christian (or rather abrahamic) in
inspiration, and as Price puts it: "Viking'paganism'was
probably never a consistent orthodoxy such as writers
Like Snorri triedto present, and may never have been
systematically understood by those who practiced it",
(zooz, ss).

Old Norse mythology has become the foundation of

modern Norse religion; the sagas are looked uPon as
canons, something which makes no sense and is funda-
mentally wrong. Myths are organic, not static, they are
told and retold, elements are added and remove4 etc'
During the Iron Age myths and sagas were not written
down and they were not even considered being m1'th-

2'
 ology: which was a belief - a reality. Mythology is not
religion; faith and its practice are. lll
:

*
Concerning the references of Old Norse sources such as,
e.g., Icelandic sagas and Old Norwegian laws; it is prob-
lematic to use these texts because of the strong Christian
influences, Greco-Roman cultural and mlthological
impacts, and the political upheaval in the times when the
texts were documented. Most of the written sources that
have suryived the Christianization of Nordic countries
are inked dorvn by people influenced by the fresh waves
of foreign religiory politics and benefits.

How much of the sagas has been embellished by Christ_

ian and political hands is impossible to know, so we all
have to be extremely cautious in interpreting the essence
ofthe sagas.

The recorded remnants of the pre-Christian Norse wor_

ship and sorcery might not be analogous to authentic
Iron Age praxis, but it is the only documented evidence
we have today. We have no other choice than to com_
pare the recorded remnants to the archaeological find_
ings and try to make our own understandings from that.

24
a-.r:r. \Irthology is not But the main focus should not stagnate by staring into
:he past; we, the Cult of the Thurses, use what we got
and move on as an evolving power. Thursatru is not
about practicing an authentic Viking-religion; but rather
\c:se sources such as, the result and praxis of its Thursian Awakening.

Thursatru in itself is a collection of Traditions,
and not a
structured Order or Temple. The Thursatru
Tradition is
something called burssidir whlch is
a body of traditions
and shared belief by the followers of
the Cult of the
Thurses. What makes it a tradition, besides
what just
was
told, is the spiritual and religious association:
we walk on
the same path from different locations _
sharing the
same belief and goal. Brotherhood
and sisterhood is
understood as a spiritual bond, not a
mundane one.

Even though the tradition,s name holds

the word thurs,
and Dursakyngr emphasi zes on pursar,
it does not rule out
the workings with other beings connected
with the same
Thursian or anti-cosmic essence. Thursatru
involves the
study of, belief in and workings with troll, dvergar,
j drnv i dj ur, ur, etc.

dition and explanations why it is so; simply to give the
serious practitioner the same basis as the founders of
burssidir received from other devotees, adequate books
and the generous Will of the Thursian Powers.

The Thursatru Tradition is based on the pre-Christian

Norse religious belief, mlthology and sorcerous praxis.

verdir) are not worshiped; instead, the sinister giants

The gnostic perspective of the worldview is essential and
fundamental in the Thursatru worship and spiritual en-

deavors. The LHP aims to journey beyond the laws and
boundaries of the Demiurge and its cosmic worlds.

Thursatru is a belief in the acosmic otherworld known as

Ginnungagap-Chaos; in its powers as allies to the practi-
tioner's Will to be spiritually freed from cosmic impris-
onment. Through Thursian worship and sorcery the
Thursatru Followers devotedly believe in spiritually
crossing over unto Chaos.

Thursatru is a tradition evolved upon the process of

fusing together Norse inventions and modern innova-
tions. The Thursatru Followers believe in eclectic and
syncretic methods in the religious and sorcerous en-
deavors. The Thursatru Followers are inspired by the
thurses' anti-cosmic lawlessness and formlessness.

Thursatru is a spiritual undertaking where the flesh is

only looked upon as a cosmic bond which imprisons the
spirit, in which matters of the flesh are insignificant'
Hence, the Thursatru Followers care not of racism and
nationalism.

Any belieJ that conflicts with the above principles cannot be

deJined as Thursatru.

The Thursatru Tradition has a gnostic perspective on

life, death and beyond; which means that the demiurgic

is :jr:.: the demiurgic
qod, ruler of the universe (who is analogue to 6dinn,
Zeus, Yahweh, God and Allah), is a tyrant who uses his
powers to enslave and imprison man. The gnostic script-
as
ures let us know that the cosmos and its rulers are op-
pressors and enslavers, and earth is placed in the deepest
abyss of the cosmos to hold our spirits imprisoned and
unknowing. On the other hand, beyond the cosmos, that
rs outside of the cosmos, dwells a world which we refer
to as GinnungagaP or Chaos - a world which existed
before the cosmos and its tyrant, the Demiurge - which
rs ruled by thetrue and hidden god and savior. The Old
Norse concept of Ginnungagap is believed to be the
portal onto the world of Chaos, and within it dwells Nifl-
heimr and Mirspellsheimr. Our spirits once belonged to
Chaos: they are sparks of the flames of Mrispellsheimr
and the powers of Chaos are calling us back. So the mis-
is sion of a Thursatru Follower is to use the means of the
Thursian Powers to free himself/herseHfrom the micro-
cosmic and macrocosmic mundane world and return to
Chaos. This is believed by the Thursatru Follower to be
done through worshiping the Thurses to gain divine
Gnosis, following the religious traditions (Purssidir) to
maintain a strong nexus to the Thursian Powers in all
aspects., and sorcery to gain comprehensive enlighten-
ment which will help free the spirit.
,9
 Itis important within the Thursatru Tradition to re-
search and understand the Old lore of the Norse re-
ligion, mythology and Thursian gigantology as much as
the gnostic and anti-cosmic Left Hand path. It is as im-
portant to traditionally and continuously ritually invoke
the Thursian Giants and their ultimate powers to be-
come transformed, an ally, and enlightened by the black
light. By doing this the Thursatru Follower reaches anti-
cosmic and acosmic enlightenment which will free his or
her spirit from the cosmic imprisonment. This should be
a priority in life, before mundane distractions, which are
all illusive cosmic tricks to drunken, blind and imprison
our spirits, Will, and freedom.

You should have simple Sefur (sorts of Norse medita-

tion) to call and learn from the Thurses themselves; use
the night and Fire to call for Thursian powers linked to
Mrispell, and use the night, Darkness, Snow and Ice to
call for Thursian Powers linked to Nifl. Evolve your Setur
by time with ritual items and traditional sacrifices. Ex-
periment and innovate, become eclectic and syncretic in
your sorcerous practice, as long
as you keep to elements
which correspond to the Thursian powers. As a begin-
ner, just follow these basic and traditional principles (we
take herbs, plants and trees for examples): Herbs, plants
and trees for Nifl-workings should correspond to the

Within the Thursatru Tradition the pre-Christian Norse

rituals are very important, but instead of using those
exactly as they were used back in an rbsir-worshiping
societywe use some of its practical forms, but change the
essence. Most likely what a crone did at that period of
time. As it is stated above, it is "a tradition evolved upon
the process of fusing together Norse inventions and
modern innovations." We are not afraid of mixing new
innovations with the Old traditions, under a Thursian
understanding; we are opposers to cosmic law and form,
just like the Thursian Powers we worship. To not evolve
