Andvari's Lesson

by Galina Krasskova

blacksmith toolsI feel the need to preface this by saying that He’s certainly not chatty. He was short and to the point and only conceded to give me this when I myself went to Him in need of counsel—it was practical to “kill two birds with one stone,” so to speak.

Simplicity. Clarity of purpose. Clarity of deed. The conscious righting of wrongs. Care in matters of exchange, in every possible facet of exchange. Discipline. Commitment. And work. These are the things I value. These are the things I desire from those who come to Me, and what I teach.

If you fail, get up and do it again. You will learn. Pick up the threads and continue unceasingly. Clean your life, your habits. Mind your wastefulness. I despise wastefulness—unless one knows no better and then I may consent to teach.

Honest pride is good. False pride, a fool’s gift. Make sure you know the difference.

I am a Craftsman. You are craftsmen too, of your own fate, your own wyrd. It will reflect the time and care, attention and skill that you put into it.  See that you set it proper value. 

That is all. I do not waste words.
