Come close.
Let me tell you what the old ones knew, and what most have forgotten.
You don’t own the land.
You were never meant to.
You borrow it.
You tend it.
You answer to it.
The landvættir are not symbols.
They are spirits.
They see how you walk.
They hear what you take without asking.
When they are with you
things grow where they shouldn’t.
Peace follows you like a shadow.
The birds stay longer.
But when they leave
you’ll feel it.
Dryness.
Silence.
Unrest in the roots.
So speak to them.
Thank them.
Offer something.
Not because you want something back
but because you finally remembered
you’re not the only one living here. The Landvaettir are still with us, if we remember how to walk in their presence.
