Not everyone is familiar with runic magic, so I decided to write this introduction, in which I will try to convey the main ways of using runes in a concise and accessible form.
By themselves, runes are not just pieces of wood with badges, or amulets. There is also an Archetype behind their physical form. And this is very, very important in runic magic. I’ll explain why.
All Runic Magic (not an epic, but a runic system) is based on the fact that with the help of runic signs, you can connect, establish an energy connection with the desired energy flow or energy center.
These streams and centers can be divided into levels. Universal, Galactic, Planetary, Terrestrial, and the simplest is the level of the human body.
With the help of runes, you can tune in to the desired center or flow, activate it in yourself, or attract a flow of energy from the surrounding space through the rune you use.
This is perhaps the meaning of runic magic, to be able to activate the Archetype of the rune with your willpower, with the power of thought, to open an energy flow in it and direct this energy to the action you need. Everything else is already additions, subtleties.
So, the runes differ into animated and inanimate ones.
Animated runes are those that have already been activated, and their physical carrier (a rune on a piece of wood, a stone, a piece of clay, on an amulet) is already saturated with the energy of this rune.
Inanimate runes are runes that are bought in a store, or made by someone, but have not yet been activated.
If you have psychic perception, then you will be able to distinguish one from the other. If you do not have psychic perception, then you need to do this purposefully. If you want to fully learn how to use runes, then you cannot achieve this without sensitivity to energy.
Each rune represents a certain type of energy, a certain quality and condition. When a rune is exposed to a person’s Consciousness, certain images may pop up — for example, the Raido rune — the Rune of the Path, Movement. You can work with it to see images in the form of a road, the transmitted qualities of this rune — aspiration, activation, desire to act.
Or, for example, the rune Isa, can take the image of ice in your mind, or a stopped, frozen moment. At the same time, the qualities that can be transferred are cold, firmness, calmness. Etc. Each of the runes has its own images, its own qualities. And they can be used.
They can also be used for different levels. The simplest is information. You can talk to runes, you can consult with them. They can give you a clue. Guessing on the runes, you come into contact with the information field of the planet and decipher with the help of runes, each of which has an image.
There are runes that give positive signs, there are runes that give information that there may be obstacles or difficulties of a certain kind in your life. It is also possible to determine the causes of these difficulties, the causes of the current problem. This way you can extract information about yourself, others, events, etc. This is the simplest level.
The use of the energy power of runes is considered more complex and energy-intensive. That is, the activation of certain energy flows to affect people and objects. You can also influence events. Accelerate, slow down. To change. Stop it.
Runes can be used both in treatment, in healing, restoration of energy damage, and to protect against negative influences. Objects, amulets, can be charged with a lot of energy, which can be used by you in difficult times.
The next level is combat magic. It already requires a stronger will, a more developed consciousness and possession of mental power in order to use and direct more powerful energy flows. Rune energy can be concentrated, it can penetrate, it can block, it can destroy and restore, it can connect and disconnect, it can awaken and put into a state of oblivion.
All success depends on the level of development of the person who uses the energy of the runes. Someone can work with energy of sufficient force to influence on the astral level, someone can work on the mental level. Someone owns only a few runes, which he is able to reveal and strengthen. And someone owns all the runes.
The most important thing here is awareness, understanding what changes we are making with our actions in the surrounding space. We can act for the good, and we can act destructively.
Our impact does not disappear without a trace, we are always responsible for it. And if what we have done is harmful, more powerful forces are involved, whose task is to balance the energy state of space.
To enter into conflict with such forces means to incur losses. Violation of karmic laws can turn into health problems, problems in personal life or at work, problems can come out in the form of some random events.
The most difficult level is metaphysical work with runes. This is already work at the level of influencing the minds of people, society, and egregors. There are people who, either by themselves or by teaming up with someone to enhance their energy impact, can influence major public events.
Metaphysical work also includes an energy transformation that can be carried out in your body. By activating a combination of runes according to a certain scheme, a person can make very unusual changes, change the parameters of his energy system, psyche, and the energy intensity of his soul, consciousness, and body.
I would not go into details, let’s call it the word transformation, when changes can affect not only the energy level, but also the biological one. With the help of certain combinations of runes, you can also influence time and space. The result of the impact, of course, depends on the power of energy investments.
As you can see, there are actually many uses for runes. For those who want to truly master the runes, it will take many years of study and practical training. The only advice I can give you is to remember the THREE RULES:
Study the runes, the longer the better, and don’t stop at two or three books. Read different authors who lived at different times, study Scandinavian, Germanic, Aryan runes. Don’t limit yourself to one concept. SYNTHESIZE KNOWLEDGE. The better you know the runes, the easier it is for you to work with them, the fewer mistakes you will make in using them.
Remember your responsibility. Only Pure Consciousness can keep the runes under control. Do not allow passion, emotions, ego to push you to use runes, do not allow them to control your behavior, otherwise you may become a slave to your desires. Runes can have an effect on the astral body, desires and passions can increase, and only Pure Consciousness will stand. Responsibility is the best friend of Mindfulness. Remember the Laws of the universe. Remember about Karma. Any violations and abuses of energy can cause punishment.
Make sure that your Consciousness does not fall out of reality. Energy work with runes, and just fortune-telling, lead away from reality. Do not lose the threads of reality, do not give up life in society, from communicating with people, from life’s difficulties. Otherwise, having lost the threads of reality, you will get lost yourself. It will be difficult to find the way back, not everyone finds it.
I have tried to convey in a concise form what I consider to be of paramount importance when working with runes.
