The "R" shows the location of the Rok Runestone next to Vattern lake. It is located in Östergötland county (East Ingot Land). The community is Ödeshög which as "Ödes hög" means "destiny's mound." The parish is Rök meaning "smoke."  These Indo-European names indicate this place was an ancient sacred site which became associated with metal refining and shaping. (the act of shaping an object was considered to be a metaphysical act involving "Platonic forms."

Rok Runestone (600-1200 CE)

(July 20, 2023) The Rok Runestone seems to have been placed at a Druid Learning Grove near the end of its existence, that is, shortly before the land was converted to Christian use. It describes the weighing of evidence for and against certain spiritual propositions regarding a drought. This weighing of the evidence is a foreshadowing of the scientific revolution which flowered during the Enlightenment starting around 1650. The fact that these were written down suggests that this approach was considered to be novel and important by its participants.

The Rök runestone was repurposed as a construction stone for a medieval church outbuilding in the 12th Century. There it stayed until 1843 when a team of construction workers discovered that it had carvings on five sides, not just the one visible to the eye. At that time, workers made a sketch of what they could see of the stone before, once again, re-embedding the stone into the church wall. Only in 1862 was the stone finally removed and put on display in the open churchyard, where it remains today.  

Below is a description of Runestone by Swedish Rune Data Base


Light fine-grained granite, 2.6 m high, 1.35 m wide (North-South) and 0.25-0.4 m thick. The stone is almost rectangular, with the upper short side about 30 cm sloping towards North, which means that the stone at the top is slightly pointed. Runic inscription is on all five side. 
The stone stands under a shelter built in 1933.  The inscription is difficult to interpret in its entirety. It consists of a narrative using multiple script styles.  The perception of interpretation among today's researchers differs.

  1. The administration by Su (dark new moon) is drying the filtrate: Passions (of emotion magic) are arousing nothing.  Enemies of the high-life-powers are nourishing activity (motion powers).  The drying is being nourished by astrology-magic. Don't be nourishing.

Bottom Text (Different Coastal Rune Style)

  1. The contentedness of Sirius (the star) is blocking the obligations for the revelations (of life forms).  Nourish Su.  \|/  Disrespecting astrological-owls can manifest lack. Su can block death.

(The central image in this text is of a 9 armed candelabra.  The seven arms typically represent the 7 heavens (sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn). In this case the last 2 probably represent the heavenly realms of the motion powers (stars) and life powers respectively.

Left Text (Different Coastal Rune Style)

  1. The similarity of divine-powers for water-transport energizes Su's drunkenness.  Activation of the gatekeepers (owls) is being activated by drunkenness. Open the nourishments for water-transport with astrological-owls (directly).  Emanations can (still) be energized by Su.

These are the Pagan revival names given to the nature festivals. Some of which are now known to be wrong but they are now traditional. 
Pagan nature based festivals honor the Divine through nature's annual cycle which modern Pagans call the "Wheel of the Year." The main historical sources used to develop these festivals during the modern Pagan revival were a 750 BCE poem in a medieval Irish commentary on the Psalter (Psalms) called Hibernica Minora and inferences made by Aiden Kelly based on old Pagan source material in 1974.

Swedish Rok Runestone: Left Side View With Celtic Ogham Markings Lists the Pagan Nature Festivals (1100 CE)

(December 13, 2024) The top part of the Celtic Ogham on this Swedish runestone lists the Pagan Nature festivals and provides the Viking interpretation of them. 

List of Viking Nature Festivals (Ogham Text 8)

The top part is a listing of the nature quarter festivals in Druid Akkadian (read from top to bottom). The first half of the year is a time of settling accounts while the second half is a time of feasting.

  1. ᚃ ᚇ = ṢaDu = Feasting
  2. ᚄ ᚈ = ŠeTu = Time
  3. ᚁ ᚈ = ReTu = Settlements. (Spring Equinox, Celtic Ostara, Easter)
  4. ᚃ ᚆ = ṢaḪu = Rendering  
  5. ᚁ ᚈ = ReTu = Settlements. (Summer Solstice, Mid-Summer, Celtic Litha)
  6. ᚅ ᚈ = NaTu = Nature's
  7. ᚃ ᚆ = ṢaḪu = Rendering
  8. ᚃ ᚇ = ṢaDu = Feast. (Fall Equinox, Thanksgiving, Celtic Mabon,)
  9. ᚂ ᚇ = PaDu = Breeding
  10. ᚃ ᚇ = ṢaDu = Feast. (Winter Solstice, Celtic Yule, Christmas)

This means the 4 Nature Festivals can be summarized as:

  1. Spiritual Settlements - Ostara (After Yule): March 21, Spring Equinox
  2. Worldly Settlements - Mid-Summer (Litha): June 22, Summer Solstice
  3. Spiritual Thanksgiving - Thanksgiving (Before Yule): September 21, Autumn Equinox
  4. Worldly Thanksgiving - Yule, December 22, Winter Solstice

"Nature's rendering" references the successful growth of plant-life. It is nature giving-up the source of all food. In contrast "Breeding" reference the successful production of young animals for food.

Kelly Aiden Fills in the Celtic Names of the Pagan Festivals

(November 8, 2024) The rest of the nature festivals need to be inferred with some historical detective work. Subsequent investigations confirms these Pagan festivals were widely observed although called by different names. This was done by Aidan Kelly in 1974. He recalls his thought process in these blog entries:


Back in 1974, I was putting together a “Pagan-Craft” calendar—the first of its kind, as far as I know—listing the holidays, astrological aspects, and other stuff of interest to Pagans. We have Gaelic names for the four Celtic holidays. It offended my aesthetic sensibilities that there seemed to be no Pagan names for the summer solstice or the fall equinox equivalent to Yule or Beltane—so I decided to supply them.
The spring equinox was almost a nonissue. The Venerable Bede says that it was sacred to a Saxon Goddess, Ostara or Eostre, from whom we get the name “Easter,” which, almost everywhere else, is called something like “Pasch,” derived, of course, from Pesach.
Summer was also rather easy. The Saxon calendar described by Bede was lunisolar. It usually had 12 months, but in the third, fifth, and last month of an 8-year cycle, a 13th month was added to keep it (more or less) in sync with the solar years. The last and first months in the calendar were named Foreyule and Afteryule, respectively, and obviously framed the holiday of Yule. The sixth and seventh months were named Forelitha and Afterlitha; furthermore, when the thirteenth month was added, it went in between them, and the year was then called a Threelitha. Obviously, by analogy with Yule, the summer solstice must have been called Litha. (I later discovered that Tolkien had figured this out also.)

The Fall equinox Mabon name comes from the Welsh Mabinogion version of the common Pagan myth in which the underworld god causes life on earth to sleep until his love is returned. In most Pagan myths his love is kidnapped (or rescued)  in the fall.


In the Mabinogion collection, the story of Mabon ap Modron (which translates as “Son of the Mother,” just as Kore simply meant “girl”), whom Gwydion rescues from the underworld, much as Theseus rescued Helen. It would have been aesthetically better to have found a Saxon name, but  . . . so I picked “Mabon” as the name for the holiday in my calendar. It was not an arbitrary choice. I sent a copy of the calendar to Oberon (then still Tim), who liked these new names and began using them in Green Egg, whence they passed into the national Pagan vocabulary.

The phrase "Mabon ap Modron" used above is actually the Akkadian phrase "Mu-A-Ba'u-Nu  APu  Ma'u-Du-Re'u-Mu." Mabon means: "The fertility-fluids resulting from the nest's revelations" in which "fertility-fluids" are the life powers which flow through the lift network to trigger life on earth. Thus this festival is celebrating the favorable divine attention to life on earth, on other words, Thanksgiving.
