Runic magic In medieval sources, notably the Poetic Edda, the Sigrdrífumál mentions "victory runes" to be carved on a sword, "some on the grasp and some on the inlay, and name Tyr twice." In early modern and modern times, related folklore and superstition is recorded in the form of the Icelandic magical staves. In the early 20th century, Germanic mysticism coins new forms of "runic magic", some of which were continued or developed further by contemporary adherents of Germanic Neopaganism. Modern systems of runic divination are based on Hermeticism, classical Occultism, and the I Ching. Historical evidence[edit] Tacitus[edit] They attach the highest importance to the taking of auspices and casting lots. It is often debated whether "signs" refers specifically to runes or to other marks; both interpretations are plausible and Tacitus does not give enough detail for a definite decision to be made.[2] Epigraphy[edit] Medieval sources[edit] "Grass cures the scab / and runes the sword-cut" (137) Ralph Blum[edit]

keep-calm-and-practice-wicca-1 Runic alphabets / Runes / Futhark Little is known about the origins of the Runic alphabet, which is traditionally known as futhark after the first six letters. In Old Norse the word rune means 'letter', 'text' or 'inscription'. The word also means 'mystery' or 'secret' in Old Germanic languages and runes had a important role in ritual and magic. Here are some theories about the origins of runes: The alphabet was probably created independently rather than evolving from another alphabet. The earliest known Runic inscriptions date from the 1st century AD, but the vast majority of Runic inscriptions date from the 11th century. Notable features The direction of writing in early Runic inscriptions is variable. Types of runic inscriptions include: 'Hrolf was here' type inscriptions on cliff walls, large rocks and buildings grave stone inscriptions, often with who carved the runes and who was buried, and also who made sure the stone was raised. There are a number of different Runic alphabets including: Elder Futhark Notes Links
The Alchemist's Cookbook Fire! Earth! Wind! Water! No, this isn't another bad episode of Captain Planet. These four forces of nature from the Greek were once connected in a system of beliefs and rituals known as alchemy. Alchemy was a philosophy that investigated the mysteries of life, specifically inanimate objects of nature. The substance they believed that would transmute lead into gold was known as The Philosopher's Stone. There were also connections between days of the week, planets, and metals, as follows, The days of the week were named after the planets: Sunday for the Sun, Monday for "mooneday" (old English), Tuesday for Tyr (Mars), Wednesday for Woden (or Odin, Mercury), Thursday for Thor (Jupiter), Friday for Frigga (wife of Mercury), and Saturday for Saturn. Accordingly, different chemicals processes were associated with the 12 signs of the zodiac, Alchemists also used images of serpents. A three-headed serpent represented the Philosopher's Stone.

Witchcraft, Wiccan and Pagan Index | Celtic Connection Rune Secrets | Rune Meaning – Elder Futhark Opening and Meditating on Your Clairaudience Points Meditating on your centers of clairaudience; also known as "psychic hearing" will empower your astral hearing. This is useful when communicating with Demons. Just relax and focus on each center, visualizing each one as a bright star. Spend a few minutes with each one. To open each of these minor chakras, just focus on them and visualize them opening up like a star and getting brighter. This may have to be done for several meditation sessions before they are permanently opened. As you advance, you can do "chakra breathing" where you absorb energy with each inhale and slightly expand and brighten each chakra you are focusing on, upon the exhale."
- Les trois Nornes, les Dises et les Valkyries (Naudiz, Pertho, Ansuz) La magie féminine dans les mythes nordiques Yves Kodratoff Elle va à son coffre, - elle s’habille d’argent. Elle mit or sur or, - elle en couvrit ses deux mains Et tout le long du chemin, - elle lui apprit les runes sur sa main blanche. Elle lui apprit à changer le temps - et à envoyer le bon vent. "Danmarks Gamle Folkviser" (Léon Pineau, Chants populaires scandinaves, 1898, p. 29) Les mythes jouent un rôle incomparable dans la formation de modèles qui serviront ensuite de référence tout au long de la vie adulte. C'est pourquoi il me semble que la meilleure façon de décrire la femme nordique est de rappeler tous les mythes féminins nordiques, d'où émerge une image d'une femme très différente de la femme latine. Je rappellerai donc les mythes relatifs aux puissances féminines suprêmes, les Nornes qui sont maîtresses du destin des hommes et des dieux. Viennent ensuite les déesses, dont il est dit qu'elles sont aussi importantes que les dieux mais dont hélas peu de mythes nous sont restés.
A Few Words About Edred Thorsson... There are as many opinions about Edred Thorsson as there are readers of his books, and there are plenty of those. Rather than take up space in the reading list proper presenting these diverse and often conflicting viewpoints, I thought it best to banish the debate to it's own page. There is no doubt that Edred Thorsson is one of the most prolific and widely-read authors on the subject of the runes. Thorsson is one of the few authors you will find listed in both the academic and mystical sections of this bibliography - his academic books are written under his real name, Stephen E. My own personal opinion (for what it's worth) is that Thorsson's work is too heavily influenced by Eastern philosophies, ceremonial magic and the Armanan magicians (note that I have removed the offending 'N' word) to be of much use to anyone trying to reconstruct the ancient Norse Pagan traditions. But that's only my opinion.
