Field-notes and quiet reverence
Gýgratrú
A personal practice of land-reverence and giantess devotion: animist at the roots, mythic in its language, and private in its ritual.
Gýgratrú is a personal practice of reverence toward the giantesses, gýgjar, understood as enduring forces of land, scale, and time. It is not a reconstructed religion, nor a system of belief, but a way of standing in relation to what exceeds the human: place, weather, stone, grief, and persistence. This site preserves my field notes from this practice—rituals, reflections, and studies—offered without instruction, certainty, or demand.
The giantesses were here before the stories that tried to diminish them.
I’m rebuilding a devotional language from fragments: landscape, breath, attention, and practice.
In her shadow, I remain. — Rúnskrá
