The 6 Kings Personal Mastery Course

Everything starts here. Before you can show up for a partner, a crew, a community or the world, you have to know how you show up for yourself when no one is watching.

Level I is about the agreements you make and keep with yourself. What is your word worth to you, before it ever reaches another person? What stories are you still running that someone else wrote? Where is your energy leaking, and which control drama do you fall into when you feel drained or threatened?

You will work through nine domains: Word & Integrity, Mind & Narrative, Energy & the Personal Field, Control Dramas, Body & Presence, Shadow & Accountability, Standards & Discipline, Identity & Sovereignty, and Synchronicity & Spiritual Awareness. Each one gives you hard questions, a short teaching, and room to be honest.

This is not about becoming someone else. It is about becoming the one who decides. Sovereignty means no opinion governs you that you have not consciously enthroned.

The level closes with the Level I Oath. Speak it only when you mean it. In this tradition, a broken oath costs more than one never made.

So I forge it. So it holds.

Level II is where the inner work of Level I gets tested in the fire of real relationship. You cannot be more honest with another person than you are with yourself.

Here you look at how you show up with one other human being: a partner, a friend, a brother, a parent. Do you listen, or wait for your turn to talk? Are you filling each other up or draining each other dry? Do you say what you mean, or say what keeps the peace and resent the gap?

The eight domains are Presence & Attention, Energy Dynamics Between Two, Communication & Truth-Telling, Boundaries & Standards, Projection & the Mirror, the Depth of Platonic Bond, Enmeshment vs. Intimacy, and Investment & Reciprocity.

A big part of this level is friendship. In the Norse world, sworn brotherhood and the fellowship of the hall were among the highest commitments a person could make. Many men today have never known that kind of bond because no one taught them to look for it.

Every person who triggers you is showing you something that belongs to you. This level teaches you to use that.

It ends with the Level II Oath.

In a group you are no longer managing one relationship. You are moving through a field with its own power structure and its own unspoken rules, and everyone brings their unfinished business into it.

Level III asks the questions every team member, family member and circle member has to face. What role do you play, and did you choose it? Do you lift the group up or drag it down? Are you accountable? Do you speak your truth in the hall, or complain in the corridor afterward?

The domains draw heavily on the Norse way of gathering: the Hall as a sacred container, the Thing as the open assembly, and frith, the active peace that protects everyone inside the circle. You will also look at the group energy field, your family as the first group you ever belonged to, spiritual study circles and the four schools of Vitki, Völva, Seiðmenn and Berserker, groupthink and collective shadow, and the proven bond of people who stand together under pressure.

The shield wall held because every man trusted the man beside him. That trust was earned, not assumed.

Earn your place. Carry your weight. The Level III Oath closes the level.

You cannot build a healthy community out of unhealthy individuals. Everything in Levels I through III was preparation for this.

Level IV is about your place in the wider community. What kind of community do you want to see built, and are you actually helping build it? Do you contribute to the field, or consume what others create?

This is the most practical level in the course. You will work through the community as a living field, regenerative land stewardship, food sharing and the shared table, resource sharing and skills as common wealth, a community bank and mutual profit, accountability at community scale, protection and safety, safeguarding children, community-level child rearing and rites of passage, and building collective projects that return value to everyone who made them possible.

The Norse understood that fortune flowed through a people, not just a person. Hospitality was an obligation. The strong were expected to protect those who could not yet protect themselves, and the children of the hall were everyone's charge.

This level asks you to stop thinking only about what is mine and start building what is ours, with clear agreements, honest accounting, and both mercy and backbone.

It ends with the Level IV Oath.

The self, the relationship, the group, the community: all of that was training. Level V asks what you do with that development when you step into the wider world.

The question changes from "who am I?" to "what do I owe the world?"

Here you look at yourself as a citizen of a society. How do you use power and influence? What culture are you carrying forward, and what are you letting die? Do you understand the economic and information systems you live inside, or are they quietly governing you?

The ten domains are the Sovereign in Society, Power, Influence & Responsibility, Cultural Stewardship, Justice & the Social Contract, Narrative, Media & the Information Field, Ecology & the Living World, Economics & Sovereignty at Scale, the Warrior-Citizen, Interfaith & Intercultural Respect, and Legacy & Civilization Building.

This is where your rootedness meets its hardest test: real respect for people whose beliefs and cultures differ from your own.

Justice here is not a political position. It is the same rule that runs through every level: the strong protect the vulnerable, and the circle holds itself accountable. At Level V, the circle is everyone.

The Level V Oath closes the level.

Level VI is where mastery stops being personal and starts shaping the world. This is not ambition dressed up as spirituality. It is the question of what a fully developed human being actually does with everything they have built.

Odin did not stay in Asgard. He walked all nine worlds asking questions, giving away wisdom, and planting seeds of change. The person at this level is in motion, living a calling that organizes everything else in their life.

You will work through moving from personal mastery to a real vocation, vision and world-building, systems thinking, carrying the gifts of the four schools out into the world, the gift economy of wisdom, healing at scale, the dark night of the global soul, building structures and mentorship that outlast you, global citizenship, and standing as a spiritual warrior at the edge of history.

What you know is not a personal asset. Odin gave an eye at Mimir's well and hung on the World Tree for nine nights to bring back the runes. Wisdom you keep to yourself is wisdom wasted.

You will not be judged by your intentions. You will be judged by whether you showed up fully when it mattered.

The level ends with the Level VI Oath.

The first six levels took you outward — from the self, to another, to the group, the community, society, and the world. Level VII brings you back. Everything you gained on the way out now has to come home and live in one body, one household, one ordinary day.

Integration does not add another layer. It makes the six you already built into one structure. The tree is not its roots or its branches. It is the whole living thing — and you are the tree.

You will work through the return, the whole soul, Yggdrasil within, shadow integrated and paradox held, the four schools united, sustained flow, weaving with the Norns, sovereignty crowned, the daily rite, the turning year, the embodied ordinary, the spiral not the summit, orðstírr and the ancestor you become, joy, feast and rest, and the circle that closes.

A king is not someone who rules others. He rules himself completely enough that others are safe in his presence.

Level VII ends with the Final Rite, the Crowning, and the Master Oath of the Six Kings, spoken aloud over the cup before the brotherhood.
