Making a rune talisman

  • 2,795 views

The best connection with nature is created by contemplating it.

When starting to make a talisman, one should attend to the removal of the "negative" in order not to mix the energy introduced by the talisman with the energy of the accumulated "negative". If mixed, the result may not be what you expect, and often can only worsen the situation, including health problems.

After you have taken off the negative, you can start making a rune talisman. First you need to make a rune row, but if you already have one, you can proceed directly to making a talisman.

1. Make a board with a full rune row. The shape of the board can be rectangular, square or round. The rune row on it is marked in two-three-four-five rows or in a circle. The shape of the board or material has little effect on efficiency,
- it can be a regular kitchen board (new!), or
- a sheet of cardboard, or even
- a notebook sheet, but the first two options are better.

You can apply rune signs with a pencil, a pen, a felt-tip pen, paints - any object capable of creating a drawing. Runes can be burned on the tree.

It is better to make a rune row at sunrise, illuminating it with the sun and then leaving it for two days. At the third sunrise, you take away and say the words of gratitude with a bow to the four cardinal points: "I thank you Supreme Spirits and Spirits of Nature for giving your strength to help me!"

2. Before making a talisman, try not to offend anyone, live harmoniously with everyone for two days, or better - a week. These days it is recommended to admire living plants, take care of indoor flowers. Walking in the birch forest is recommended.

3. In the morning - 15-20 minutes before sunrise you will find yourself a place where the sun will illuminate you - a balcony, a street, a terrace. Put on something very personal or personal: jewelry, your favorite clothes. You can wash before the ceremony, but not have breakfast. As a last resort, drink no more than a quarter of a glass of holy water from the church.

Sit facing east, put a rune row in front of you, prepare a writing object and what you will draw the rune on (a piece of leather, fabric, wood, paper, bark).

Look at the rune row for a minute or a half, put your palms on it, hold about the same amount on the runes. So you fit into the energy of the runes, assimilate it, and the runes are tuned to you. At this time, the runes are being activated.

Imagine the desired rune above yourself glowing with a bright light (you don't need to raise your head up, it's better to close your eyes). Look at it until you see it clearly and clearly. Pronounce the name of this rune out loud. Open your eyes and draw it on the material. Imagine that the rune hanging over you is pouring gold dust onto your material. Moreover, it pours in the form of the most drawn rune. Say the name of the rune again.

Then imagine that the rune hanging above you does not shine with diffused light, but these rays completely repeat the lines of the rune and reach the ground. Imagine that these rays in the form of a rune shine from it to your body (if you impose a rune on yourself). See for yourself where to "put the rune". It is better to "put" money and property at the feet or to the waist, the rest - higher. These rays should enlighten you through and through. Then release the rune.

The session is over. Remove the rune board (rune row) until the next communication with her.

Always carry the rune sign with you (for example, in your wallet).

The fact that you have imposed this rune on yourself is the effect above usual, stronger and faster. As soon as you receive what you ordered, immediately burn the rune or bury it in the ground, after having previously mentally thanked.

It is not worth sprinkling the runes with your own blood, and even more so with another, because you can attract very energy with a very heavy vibration, it will lead to disastrous results ..

List of runes and their meaning.

Algiz: protection, security

  • 6,833 views

Magic rune. The name of the rune comes from the word "elk" and means "protection". Algis is the force of attraction that connects the individual Spirit with the human community. It acts on the earthly plane and protects the four aspects contained in the primary act of Creation: body, mind, soul and Spirit.
The statutory outline of the rune can be compared with the Cosmic Tree, whose branches reach the Upper World of superconscious being, and in an inverted form - like roots that penetrate deeply into the Lower World of the unconscious. It can also be likened to a swan in flight. The northern shamans considered the swan a "messenger" between the Earth and Heaven, the bearer of divine wisdom.
So, the rune, Algis, has to do with connection and protection. It is very important that, when connecting with our higher, spiritual "I", we stand firmly on the ground, otherwise our inner balance is threatened. We can be very religious and spiritually developed people, but if this is not "reflected in everyday life, then our spirituality and religiosity are worth very little. We are simply deceiving ourselves. Our potential immortality must be expressed through a mortal shell. This is part of our life purpose. The rune provides protection from pride and spiritual selfishness and is closely related to the process that occurs in the time interval between "life" and "death".
The rune power of Algis is strongly associated with the survival instinct and its basic mechanisms. This instinctive defense is inherent in all living beings, including humans. But we also have another protection that comes from the Spirit in the form of illumination or silent knowledge. This means that our survival is not entirely dependent on the principle of "fight-or-flight", but also relies on reason and creative thought. This is also the power of the rune.
Algis's powerful protective effect can be used to create an egg-shaped protective shield for a stronger bond with the ground. Imagine the rune as a staff that you can lean on, feeling its reliability, strength and protection. The rune's force field serves as a shield against any attack. It will protect you on all levels: physical, emotional and spiritual.

POTENTIAL: Connecting, rooting force.

KEY QUALITIES: Instinctive defense, the ability to protect the aura, strengthen the determination to achieve the goal.

PRACTICAL USE: Can extract energy from a spiritual Source and translate it into ordinary reality for practical use. Protects our vulnerabilities.

ATTENTION: Do not forget about your vulnerability and about harmful influences that can lead you away from the chosen path.

The rune can help you:

* generate creative ideas;
* find hidden forces to meet any challenge;
* reject negative impacts;

* root your ideas and aspirations in reality.

If you are afraid of something, if you expect an attack or deliberate harm from someone, draw this rune and it will not let anyone catch you by surprise.

Ansuz: from the word Asa - Gods of Good

  • 3,219 views

Energy rune. Anzus means "god" or "mouth" - one who speaks and gives being. The Divine Word gave birth to the existence of all things from the formlessness of Chaos. Thus, Anzus is the power of releasing the Breath of Life, the self-expression of the creative Spirit. Anzus embodies the energy of thought and inspiration, the functions of the deepest levels of the Mind, where the subconscious is revealed. The power of this rune releases blocked energy needed to bring about change. It opens channels of self-expression, promotes the development of creativity.
Runic shamans considered Anzus "the rune of sacred knowledge". It acts as a link with the wisdom of the ancestors, allowing the restoration of lost knowledge. This happens by building a "bridge" between the conscious and subconscious, through the unification of the right and left hemispheres of the brain. It is the force that makes possible the reception and transmission of bioenergy.
The design of the rune resembles a spruce - an evergreen plant that symbolizes immortality and divine power. Spruce also combines the feminine and masculine principles, indicating the presence of both of these principles in the Great Spirit.

POTENTIAL: Creative and mental expression of Spirit.

KEY QUALITIES: communication skills, creative thought, artistic inspiration, perception ability, application of knowledge.

Best of all, it helps in the implementation of activities that require collective efforts; it may not be of any use to one. Used in good deeds, the rune awakens in a person attentiveness and sensitivity to others.

Wunjo: supreme joy, good luck

  • 3,054 views

Magic rune.Vunyo is the potential of the all-encompassing power of love, whose impact on the human being is a sense of joy and well-being. Vunyo is a purely personal force that brings excitement and motivation to fight for excellence. It allows you to experience pure joy, as it personifies the harmony of being, perceived by human feelings.
The Old Norse word "Vunjo" means "the glory of perfection". It is the culmination of flawless and unconditional love that makes no demands and gives itself completely without expecting to receive anything in return. It is understood that everything in the world is beautiful and worthy of love. This rune indicates to us the ideal to which we should strive.
Vunyo awakens the awareness of self-worth and the perception of the divine in all beings, and therefore can also be considered as a self-esteem rune. This power is at the core of self-confidence - not vain pride and arrogant complacency, but a humble sense of self-worth among other beings.
Vunyo was considered by rune shamans to be a "wish-maker" because she contains the potential power of realization. This is the surge of joy that we experience when the innermost desires of our heart are fulfilled. It is also the ability to recognize hidden affinities and attract them to oneself to establish harmonious relationships. It is a balm that heals wounds caused by strife and misunderstanding.
Runic shamans compared the mark of the rune with a shamanic crystal rod, which itself served as an instrument for the realization and materialization of the desired. This is a symbol of confirmation of purposeful desire.
Vunyo follows Gebo and expresses the joy of possession that follows the act of giving. It is the joy of a sincere sacrifice.

POTENTIAL: Correct calculation, energy release.

KEY QUALITIES: Unconditional love, climax, orgasm, joy of satisfaction.

Gebo: Gift

  • 2,201 views

Magic rune.Gebo is usually associated with making a sacrifice and receiving a gift in the context of energy exchange; you are giving something of value in exchange for a blessing already received or desired. However, this interpretation reveals only a minor aspect of Gebo's power. The gift contained in the rune is not associated with material acquisitions and not with the ability to share property, regardless of the size of our wealth. This is the gift of Time itself!

The passage of time is not necessarily constant, although we are taught otherwise. It can be measured (60 seconds per minute, 60 minutes per hour, 24 hours per day, 365 days per year, etc.), but the consistency of time depends on how you use it. Indeed: we say "time flies" if it seems to us that it is passing too quickly, or "time drags on" in anxious anticipation. Gebo is a force that allows you to "stretch" time in order to do more, or "slow down" it for more detailed observation and research. We ourselves do not have the power to control time, but Gebo has it!

Further, the power of Gebo ensures balance: its statutory mark X symbolizes the great Wheel of the Universe revolving around its hub. Everything has a price, every action requires some kind of payment. You cannot get something without losing absolutely nothing: here again the exchange of energy comes into play. In order to gain more wisdom and understanding, it is necessary to sacrifice some modern ideas.

POTENTIAL: Giving and receiving.

KEY QUALITIES: Bonding and bonding, compensation, fair exchange, respect for limitations, generosity and empathy.

PRACTICAL USE: Helps you make the most of your time and get back what was spent for your benefit.

ATTENTION: For whatever you get, you have to offer something in return to keep the universe in balance. Be prepared to accept the consequences of your actions.

The rune can help you:

* more efficiently manage your time;
* give more and receive more in return;
* strengthen personal relationships;
* enter into active interaction with your higher self.

The rune helps to choose a partner in marriage or in a joint venture and establish a strong and long-term contact with him. In a person's relationship with himself, he will indicate the right decision, the best of several options.

Energy rune... Dagas is the rune of awakening. It is the power of the dawn, heralding the beginning of a new day. The rune symbolizes a new beginning based on past achievements. It carries with it the energy of victory, ecstatic enlightenment, the successful completion of long and hard work. Some have called it "cosmic awareness." Runa Dagas is the ability to see reality through the eyes of the Soul!
Runa Dagas is the power of awareness of the true nature of the Universe, in which light and darkness, material and spiritual, feminine and masculine, are perceived as mutually complementary aspects of a single whole.
The statutory outline can also be compared with a butterfly, symbolizing the transformation that occurs when we get out of the "cocoon" of perception, conditioned by upbringing, and get the opportunity to experience life in its entirety.
Thus, Dagas is a rune of self-transformation. This is the "awakening" rune. This is the energy of completion, the moment of celebration and receiving the long-awaited reward for labor.

Inguz (Ingwaz): god of fertility Ing, Yngwie

  • 5,573 views

Energy rune... Ingus is a power that stores for the future. She is associated with the body of the Soul. It is a force that reflects the inner essence of a being who has gone through earthly experience and is now awaiting rebirth and further development. Its action is similar to the reproductive function of a plant seed. In relation to the little man, it is a repository of information for the future life. No wonder the American Indians have a saying: "Your ancestors will live in you, and you will live in your descendants!"
This rune is associated with offspring and genealogy. The statutory outline symbolizes the hole in which the seed is stored. Ingus is a force that preserves the potential and holds it back until the time comes for the release of energy. Everything in nature goes through a ripening period before it appears in visible form. Likewise, that which dies and "leaves" from earthly life is not subject to oblivion, but in due time is reborn, passing through the Source of Life and arising in a new form.
The alternative statutory outline can be compared to the symbol of the DNA molecular helix, which contains all the information necessary to create a living being. Therefore, Ingus is a force that carries genetic information and transfers hereditary characteristics. External traits are inherited from parents, but individual personality traits are transmitted in a different way. They are inherited from a person's past lives. Each of us is literally our own ancestor, and our essence will be transmitted - through the power of Ingus - to the future life!
Ingus also denotes a transition to another stage of development, to other states of conscious perception. The statutory outline can be viewed as an exit to other levels of being.

POTENTIAL: Access to a different reality.

KEY QUALITIES: Bearing, regeneration, continuity, renewal.

PRACTICAL USE: Useful for developing the gift of persuasion and the ability to influence other people.

ATTENTION: Use your personal power wisely. Do the things that you are "intended" to do.

The rune can help you:

* improve memory;
* strengthen self-confidence;
* expand conscious perception;
* open up new areas of self-realization.

The Ingus rune is dedicated to Ingus - the god of peace, carnal passions and ginger beer. The rune relieves stress, brings the onset of rest closer. Strengthens the potency in men.

Isa: ice

  • 2,747 views

Magic rune.The rune is a formative force that slows down movement and densifies matter. Its name "Isa" means "ice" and implies the qualities of compression, density and immobility. Isa is the energy that binds together and prevents decay. It delays development, just as ice freezes flowing water. It can also be compared to a stopped motion picture. It crystallizes the spiritual into the material so that it can be preserved, like ice in a refrigerator preserves the quality of the food put there. Isa is a stabilizing factor that keeps unchanged everything that is exposed to it.
Isa is associated with immobility. Despite its passivity, immobility is not a state in which nothing happens. This is a suspension of movement necessary for further development. The crust of ice on the winter lake only covers up what is happening at deep levels, invisible to us. The power of the Rune is expressed in the effect of concentration. Isa is a force that preserves what needs to be preserved. It is expressed in the slowing down of energy processes, induces compaction and prevents dissolution.
Isa supports the spirit floating on the stormy waters of earthly life, giving it the opportunity to develop. But the developmental process can be stopped if the ego revels in its self-righteousness and breaks like brittle ice.
Isa is the power of self-restraint, helping to figure out what qualities we should keep in the depths of our being. As ice serves as a preserving agent, so Isa keeps things as they are and "preserves" the accumulated.
Although Isa can concentrate the powers of the mind and strengthen the heart, this rune should be handled with care, as it is easy to lose balance on any icy surface.

POTENTIAL: Supporting and preserving strength, stability and immobility, inertia, concentration of purposeful intention.

KEY QUALITIES: Compression, compaction, preservation of the passed, inner strength, self-restraint.

PRACTICAL USE: When the rhythm of modern life is stressful, Isa can slow things down and allow you to focus on true values. This rune also helps to realize your dreams in everyday, "dense" reality.

ATTENTION: Winter does not last forever, like any difficult situation you may find yourself in. Have the courage to move forward. To know, you need to act.

The rune can help you:

* calm the mind for meditation;
* focus attention;
* neutralize an unprovoked attack or hostile intent;
* strengthen your Will;
* overcome anxiety.

The rune helps to stop an unfavorable process, illness, cool passions, "freeze" the situation in order to gain time. The rune is dedicated to the great Ymir, born of ice and symbolizing the beginning or renewal after a long period of stagnation.

Jera: cycles of change, harvest

  • 2707 views

Magic rune... The statutory outline of the Hyera rune denotes the two halves of the year - the "ice" of winter and the "fire" of summer - following each other, interacting and mutually complementary.
Hyera is a process of organic development through an orderly movement that should not be rushed or forced, since what happens “inside” must be in harmony with the external environment. If this natural order is violated for the sake of a momentary result, then the end result will be unfavorable. In other words, the seeds germinate and the plants bear fruit according to the season.
The power of Hyères does not force change, but brings them to fruition gradually, in a continuous stream of spiral movement, where things come into being in their turn, in the proper "interval" of the cycle. Our concept of time is erroneous: in nature, everything moves cyclically, and not in a straight line. Everything that exists arises from the past, and the future is formed in the present. There is no return to the "beginning" - only a process of endless development.
Hyera means cyclical movement. Everything is constantly changing, nothing stands still. The end of one cycle is the beginning of the next.
While Isa symbolizes immersion in matter, Hyera symbolizes movement through matter and ascent to the spiritual. However, the awareness of our spirituality also cannot be violent; it is a natural process. Such awareness cannot come until we understand what is happening in the external environment and how it relates to our inner world.
In a practical context, Hyera nourishes the seeds of our inherent opportunities and allows them to emerge effectively at the right time. Actions that are in harmony with nature will lead to the desired results, because they are consistent with the natural order of things. The development of our inner vision cannot be rushed in the same way as the ripening of the fruit cannot be rushed.

POTENTIAL: Natural change.

KEY QUALITIES: Gradual development, consistent movement.

PRACTICAL USE: Useful for learning from past actions.

ATTENTION: Be patient. You cannot harvest until it is ripe. Try to make the best use of what you have now.

The rune can help you:

* Realize that patience is always rewarded;
* carry out your plans and ideas;
* live in harmony with the cycles of nature, adjust the "clock" of your body.

Rune Yera is drawn before the start of an important long business in order to ensure its smooth running and a successful outcome. It can be used if you have doubts and it seems that you do not have enough strength to bring this matter to the end.

Kenaz: inner light

  • 3,164 views

Energy rune. It is an inner light that transforms the raw material into a finished thing.
Like the flame in a blacksmith's forge, it makes the substance malleable and workable. His strength, however, lies in the ability to rebuild himself and his environment, for this is the inner fire of self-transformation.
The word "Kano" simultaneously means "to know" and "to be able." His runic potential lies not only in the power of knowledge, but also in the ability to manifest inherent knowledge. When we want to "shed light" on an object, we use the power of the Kano rune. This is the light of illumination, the rune of inner guidance, the energy of search and recognition. It is not knowledge itself, but rather the power that ignites enthusiasm and illuminates the path.
Kano is the energy of a flame that destroys and creates new forms under conscious control.
It is the power of analysis, decisive progress, calculated growth and development. The light of the rune gives the clarity of thought necessary to visualize important ideas and bring them to life. In other words, Kano contains the ability to create. Through the Primary Fire, the manifest and the unmanifest acquired being; thus, the creativity associated with the Kano rune can be physical or spiritual, craft or art.
The Kano rune was used by rune shamans to gain inner guidance. If necessary, they took her with them on shamanic journeys in order to reveal hidden or shed light on unknown aspects of their own self. As the Rune of Fire, Kano exerts a protective influence in any risky endeavor.

POTENTIAL: Fire that comes from within and gives illumination.

KEY QUALITIES: Clarity of thought, analytical ability, constructive self-expression, enthusiasm.

Laguz: water, lake

  • 3212 views

Magic rune... Lagus is the rune of the water element, a fluid force that rises from the well of the Subconscious. It cleans and refreshes all levels of being, for it is the carrier of vital energy. It is the power of realized potential; the onion stalk serves as its emblem.
Lagus is the power that comes from immersion in direct experience. It is like water washing you while swimming; you are in the water and feel it, but you are not one with it.
The Old Norse word "Lagus" means "lake". Runic shamans especially appreciated the transitional qualities of Lagus, since in ancient times water was often used as a symbol of the transition from life to death and from death to rebirth. This is the hidden meaning in the gospel tradition of Jesus walking on the waters.

Mannaz: man, man

  • 3,260 views

Magic rune... Mannas is an Old Norse word meaning "man" and also the name of a pagan god "made in the flesh." Such a union has a deep meaning, since it is the human person who is the repository of the divine.
The power of this rune allows people to "improve", that is, to integrate more fully into the integrity of being. It allows us to know ourselves: to understand who we are and why we are here. Thus, the rune gives our life a purpose and meaning.
Traditionally, Mannas is considered the "rune of humanity", but in reality its strength lies in motivation. This is what makes us strive for excellence. This is what brings us closer to the divine, although outwardly we continue to be human. Mannas can be seen as the "seed" of divinity within us, seeking outward expression in friendships and family relationships.
Her rune power binds intellect and intuition together. It harmonizes the activity of the left and right hemispheres of the brain to improve the Spirit. Runa Mannas is a force that sharpens intelligence on a par with intuitive abilities and allows them to act in concert.
The charter symbolizes joint effort as a means of achieving excellence. This is humanity cooperating with nature in the evolutionary change of our natural environment. The great goal is achieved through love and care, not by ruthless exploitation of the environment for short-term gain. Collaboration should benefit everyone who participates in it.

Nauthiz: need, trouble

  • 3,316 views

Energy rune... Time as an interconnected unity can be likened to a thread woven from many fibers. Everything that has ever happened forms an ever-changing Present, and the patterns of the Present, through our thoughts and actions, determine the future. The essence of the past does not disappear forever, but forms the active part of what we call "here and now", in which the Future is born.
We can consciously change our future (the consequences of our actions and decisions) by realizing the lessons learned from the past.
So, our individual past is not something that is gone and irrevocably lost, as we were taught. Time itself is energy. It is active in the present, for it served to form it, and is also involved in determining the future. In other words, our "here and now" is the sum total of our past experiences, and our future position is determined in the present.
Our past lives have not gone forever either. Each of them is a facet of our holistic being and lives in another "segment" of Time. But their essence is still in us, albeit in a different dimension, influencing our thoughts and actions. According to shamanic teaching, it is possible to get to the "information" contained in them to help us fulfill the destiny of the Soul in its present life.
So, everything in the Universe, including ourselves, has its place in time and space. Development takes place strictly individually, since we are at different stages. In other words, everything develops in due time, when circumstances and situation permit.
However, you need to understand that in the Universe there is a factor of chance, whose action leads to unpredictable results. These results are sometimes called "God's providence", although in fact they have nothing to do with the Creative Intelligence and are rather opposite to its goals. It would be more correct to call them "a consequence of chaotic activity." It is this random, chaotic factor that is the source of stress and misunderstanding in our life.
Nautis is energy released under stress and severe constraints. The statutory mark of the rune resembles crossed sticks used by some natives to make fire. This is also its meaning: the release of the flame trapped inside.
Nautis is the ability to turn disadvantages into advantages and develop self-sufficiency. This is the ability to understand that sometimes one should not resist changes that bring something new to replace the unnecessary and obsolete.
Nautis is the force behind the self-preservation instinct, the need to survive at any cost. It is the power of endurance and determination. The rune can help you cope with stress and face adversity with confidence, with hope for the best.

POTENTIAL: The power of embodiment in physical reality under pressure and compulsion. Present in a sudden rush of adrenaline that prompts you to act in a dangerous situation.

KEY QUALITIES: Resistance, self-generated energy, endurance, self-sufficiency.

PRACTICAL USE: Nautis is of great help in meditation. Helps you distinguish what you really need from what seems desirable.

ATTENTIONA: You cannot properly meet the needs of others until you are aware of your own needs.

The rune can help you:

* fight stress;
* successfully overcome crises;
* achieve accomplishments that previously seemed impossible;
* go beyond your own limitations;
* develop persistence;
* value endurance.

The rune gives strength in difficult times, helps to survive difficult periods. In ancient times, it was drawn directly on the hand.

Energy rune... Otila sets limits. This rune symbolizes the innate qualities that define character.

  • 3,084 views

Perth or Perthro - the fourteenth rune of the Germanic alphabet. The traditional meaning of this rune has not been precisely established, but many hypotheses have been put forward on this score. When divining, portends a secret, an adventure.
According to Varg Vikernes, this rune is translated as "travel" and symbolizes initiation, secrets, as well as the search for answers to secrets, and is associated with Sleipnir and his parent Loki.

Reality is not limited to one level of being, although we may mistakenly think otherwise. It has a layered structure. Even the "ordinary" reality of our daily life consists of several levels. There is an objective reality that we share with other human beings in everyday life. This is our immediate environment. Then, there is a subjective state of "learned" reality, that is, an interpretation that we impose on our perception of our opinions, beliefs and judgments.

Another aspect of this power is associated with sacrifice - the willingness to give up one's Ego for the sake of spiritual development, therefore Teyvas is sometimes associated with the concept of "spiritual warrior". The soldier receives orders from his commander and is thus not fully responsible for his actions.

Turisaz (Old Norse. urs) is an artificially restored name of the third rune of the Germanic alphabet.
In the Icelandic alphabet, it is still preserved in the form of the letter þ ("thorn") and corresponds to the English th. Indicates "turs" - a giant. The third rune sign is Þurisaz (Turisaz). It translates as "goblin" and symbolizes goblins, trolls and giants. This sign symbolizes hidden, negative forces, shelter and gateway or a return to these forces, and is associated with Bolthorn ("despicable thorn"), the giant, better known as Jormungand ("magic rod", "living rod"), the huge worm of Middle-earth ( Midgard). This rune sign depicts a thorn. In the Viking era, this rune sign was called so: Þorn ("thorn / thorn").

Energy rune.Turizas is the energy that "cleared" the way among the random forces of Chaos before the appearance of the Cosmos. It can be compared to a thunderclap arising from the collision of opposites. Turizas was the destroyer of the forces of Chaos, hostile to the Cosmic Order; he protects the Cosmos from a return to Chaos. Therefore, although its power can be destructive - aimed at eliminating the obsolete and replacing it with something better, it also has a protective aspect, and as such is seen as a guardian of law and order. As thunder foreshadows rain, so Turizas energy makes a new beginning possible.

Turizas has the potential to clear the way and create order where disorder existed. It is like clearing an abandoned garden of debris and weeds, like spilling spring water, setting the stage for a new life. The statutory outline of the rune resembles an ax used both to cut down everything harmful and unnecessary, and to protect against harmful influences.

The Old Norse word "Turizas" means "giant" or "strongman", which indicates the brute, purposeful force required to remove obstacles. Since Turizas was traditionally associated with the snow giants of northern mythology, some researchers attributed the attributes of evil to him. This happened as a result of a misunderstanding of the truth hidden in myths and the rune power itself. This is partly due to the mis-translation of the Icelandic word "giant" as "demon" - a deliberate attempt by religious propagandists to destroy primordial knowledge and erect a barrier of fear. The mythological giants personified the random forces of Chaos, the unbridled energy that existed before the appearance of the Cosmos. Turizas is a powerful force that restrains them, protects and preserves the Cosmic order. The destructive energy inherent in this rune is directed only against that which is hostile to order and threatens the laws of nature.

Turizas is the bearer of the potential of male creative energy. The rune has the shape of a thorn, which in ancient times was a symbol of human "frailty", while the rose that he "protects" was a symbol of immortality inherent in the feminine aspect of being, for everything comes into existence only through this aspect.

The thorn shape also implies the potential to overcome fear - after all, as you know, "there is no rose without thorns." The potential energy of Turizas can be compared to a hedge of rose bushes, not only marking the boundary between ordinary and extraordinary reality, but also guarding access to knowledge that must be used with respect and care. This rune denotes protection from unwanted or hostile influences. The encirclement of private property with a ring of Turizas runes pointing outwards served as a way of guarding against an uninvited invasion.

POTENTIAL: Releasing the force that heralds a new beginning, protecting the natural order.

KEY QUALITIES: Awakening strength and initiative, purposeful power, protection from hostile influences.

PRACTICAL USE: Useful when necessary to remove an obstacle and clear a path in a difficult situation. Contains energy for both defense and attack.

ATTENTION: Get rid of what bothers you, but take care to leave intangible values. Don't jump to conclusions, or you may create more problems than you solve.

The rune can help you:

* fight against hostile influences;
* disperse lethargy and awaken enthusiasm;
* stimulate the subconscious "I" and bring it into action;
* remove obstacles;
* prepare the ground for new initiatives.

Turizas is a rune of reflection. it is used, wishing to reflect before the decisive step, to think over again all the pros and cons. It helps to concentrate, to evaluate one's actions, to avoid hasty decisions, protects against deception and self-deception.

Energy rune. Uruz is a potential that exists inside Chaos - a "space" between two opposites, in which a magnetic force of attraction arises and a huge energy of fusion is released.
This rune can be likened to a discharge of electrical energy "jumping out" between the contacts of a light bulb when you turn on the light. The electrical charge moves back and forth rapidly, producing light and keeping it alive.
The light that emerged from the darkness of the Unmanifest at the "beginning of beginnings" was not as bright as the light of the sun, sharply indicating objects. It was more like a soft, silvery moonlight, behind which, however, incredible power is hidden. For example, behind the pale light of the Moon is a powerful force that moves huge masses of water in the oceans and regulates the cyclical course of life of all earthly creatures.
Uruz is the potential in the beginning of everything. It contains in itself the seeds of the development of all things that acquire being. The artist starts from a blank canvas or from a white sheet with nothing on it. It's just "space". However, thanks to this empty space, the artist can embody his ideas in visible form. From "nothing" he creates a work of art. It is the potential that allows things to take essence from "nothing", released through movement.
While Uruz is often associated with toughness or stamina, it is not raw physical strength. It is a soft but powerful force that causes rain and draws moisture from the soil so that it can again pour down on the earth as a life-giving rain and give rise to new forms of life. Uruz itself has no form, but allows it to be embodied in reality. It is the vital energy that is present in nature before the start of new growth - in the bud and seed.

POTENTIAL: "Space" from which everything that exists takes on being.

KEY QUALITIES: Infinite potential, infinite possibilities, renewal, energy release, unbridled strength, sudden change.

PRACTICAL USE: Uruz serves to release creative energy that brings about sudden changes. This energy precedes a new cycle of activity. Therefore, it is useful where there is a need for new ideas, fresh trends, a change of scenery, a sharp rise in morale.

* implement your ideas, translate them into everyday reality;
* renew vital energy and find the courage to give up all unnecessary;
* gain inner strength to part with the past and start all over again;

Magic rune... With the Feu rune, we reach the completion of the Creation process: the fulfillment of everything that was intended. This is the rune of eternal becoming.
Feu's strength lies in active multiplication. This is the realization of what has been achieved and at the same time the release of energy for new beginnings. For this reason, Feu is associated with movable property, in particular with livestock, which served as a means of measuring wealth in primitive society, and with money in modern capital turnover.
Feu's power, like tree sap, flows from the "roots", being evenly distributed on all planes of existence. The wealth it symbolizes is not static, like a deposit and a bank or real estate. It is wealth that is constantly used and multiplied through vigorous activity.
Feu synthesizes the processes of birth, life, death and rebirth. It is a moving energy flowing in all things; reaching its climax, it is redistributed in another cycle of activity. This rune power retains the learned life experience, which is then distributed for use in the next life.

Hagalaz: hail, "death", destruction

  • 2969 views

Energy rune. Hagalas can be seen as an expression of the principle of evolution, enclosed in a rigid structure. It is the energy of a complete order contained in the seed of everything that lives and develops.
Hagalas is sometimes referred to as the "mother rune". This is the rune of the primary crystal. Shamans of all cultures and traditions viewed quartz crystals as solidified cosmic "ice" or "hail" with the ability to hold and direct energy.
Hagalas is sometimes depicted as a crystalline snowflake. Thus, it is shown that this is the energy of an already established order, and not an ordering force.
In the statutory outline, a transverse line connects energy flows moving in opposite directions: the expansive energy of fire, moving up and out, and the restraining energy of water, moving down and in. Together they form the binding force that strengthens the world order and shapes everything that comes into being.
Some researchers of the runes associate Hagalas with decay and even destruction, but the power of this rune is by its nature not destructive. It is the power of natural change necessary to restore the lost balance and create conditions for new growth and development. For example, hail is not only one of the most destructive natural phenomena - hailstones can reach the size of river pebbles, destroy crops and even kill small animals - but also one of the most wonderful. The hail is usually preceded by a heavy, oppressive atmosphere, but after a thunderstorm, a rainbow connects Heaven and Earth; the air becomes clear, refreshing, charged with vital energy.
Consequently, the Hagalas rune contains the potential for transformation and change. What at first seems like a burst of unbridled elements can turn into purification necessary for further development.

POTENTIAL: Focusing and transforming primary energies into an ordered structure.

KEY QUALITIES: Dramatic change, release, restoration of lost balance. Connecting opposites.

PRACTICAL USE: Useful for staying calm in difficult situations. Helps transform adverse or hostile influences into beneficial ones.

ATTENTION: Do not be afraid of situations that seem unfavorable to you. Trust your inner self to understand a difficult situation and turn it to your advantage.

The rune can help you:

* get rid of unwanted influences;
* develop intuition, consciously control intuitive abilities;
* focus your intention;
* find ways to bring different points of view closer together.

Hagalas personifies the forces of nature, helping a person to return to the most natural manifestations of his "I". She is drawn when they feel that something is amiss, when a deep spiritual discord leads a person to a dead end, forcing him to commit more and more ridiculous acts. It causes a "crisis", helping to get out of the vicious circle and regain peace of mind.

One of the main features of any graphic system of written signs is the established order of arrangement of graphic characters, adopted for a particular language. The alphabetical order of graphic characters adopted in runic writing is called futark (fuþark) - by the name of the first six letters... The established alphabetical order of letters in Russian is called by the name of the first two letters - ABC, and in Latin - from the first two letters Alpha-ἄλφα and Betta- β, βῆτα, βήτα, beta (vita), which conveyed the sounds [b] and [v], therefore called AlfaVit. Arrangement of graphic symbols Runic Futhark is not found in any other writing system.

In the second etter - h, n, i, j, é (ih-wh), p, R (z), s.

Slavic runes and alphabet

The ancient Slavs are an extremely educated people. They had their own alphabet and well-developed writing system at their disposal. The basis of the alphabet was made up of runes - complex signs with several meanings. The "ABC" of Cyril and Mifodius, which appeared later, is only a part of the ancient heritage left by the Slavic civilization.

Slavic runes were used not only to compose texts, but also to carry out all kinds of rituals. In addition, they served as the main elements in the creation of amulets and protective prayers. At the time of its existence, the runic alphabet was the most perfect type of writing. One symbol could mean a single letter, word or action. Archaeologists have established that the Slavs had exactly 144 signs.

No one knows the exact number of runes: historians believe that there were several million of them. And those 18 runes that we use today are a drop in the ocean and echoes of the once developed runic alphabet.

How to write with Slavic runes?

A well thought out system is used when writing texts. All characters are arranged in a row and each row must have 16 separate characters. The number of rows is nine. It is also allowed to write 32 and 64-digit rows. In this case, the written symbols will complement the basic 16 runes written earlier. Roughly speaking, every second rune will interpret, complement or develop the meaning of the previous symbol.

Reading characters

The process of reading Slavic runes has its own characteristics: without a correct understanding of the inscribed symbols, it is impossible to understand their meaning. As we already said, a single rune can mean a letter, a word or a whole image. Initially, the lines are read in accordance with the rules of the Russian language - from left to right. After that, the runes are read in the opposite direction - from right to left, and the reading begins with the last one, 9 runes per line.

The interpretation of what is written is carried out both in the form of individual letters and images. But this requires significant experience and knowledge of ancient Slavic culture.

The Viking language is a unique phenomenon. This is evidenced by its distinctive features, the most important of which is the availability to a wide range of users. It is also worth noting the uniqueness and simplicity of the symbols, the order of their writing, reading peculiarities, as well as ample opportunities in the choice of materials for their cutting and style. Thanks to runic records dating back to the Viking era, modern scientists have learned a lot about the life of the ancient Scandinavians, about their migration, as well as about the origin and meaning of their names.

Throughout the Viking Age and for several centuries after its end, all Scandinavian languages \u200b\u200bwere united under the concept of "Danish". According to one version, this definition appeared abroad, and later was adopted by the inhabitants of the peninsula. This fact indicates that the ancient Scandinavian languages \u200b\u200bdiffered little from each other, but did not have similarities with other European languages.

To this day, almost no information has reached about how the Danish language sounded. Historians take scant information from words borrowed by other peoples. Skaldic poetry and inscriptions on old coins also help them in learning the Viking language. Thanks to these artifacts, scientists were able to determine that the speech of the ancient inhabitants from different places in Scandinavia was not completely identical. So, the West Scandinavian language was spoken by the settlers of the territories in which modern Norway and Iceland are located, and the East Scandinavian language was spoken by the ancient inhabitants of Sweden and Denmark. The Old Icelandic language has changed less than the others to this day, so scientists derive their knowledge from the modern speech of Icelanders.

About the origin of runic writing

Despite the differences in languages, any Scandinavian even now independently, without a dictionary and translator, can understand most of the words from the runic inscriptions. Initially, this writing arose among the Germanic peoples several centuries after the birth of Christ. It included 24 signs, made up of vertical and oblique lines. It was them that were most convenient to carve on a wood surface. Since the horizontal lines looked blurry due to the fact that they seemed to be lost in the grain of the wood, they were not used.

With the beginning of the Viking Age, the number of runes decreased to 16 characters. In parallel, the spelling of some of them also changed. The runes have been simplified for the convenience of applying them to various surfaces. At the same time, the reading of the signs became more difficult, since many of them acquired additional meanings. In addition, one rune can represent several sounds. So, the rune "k" can be read in four versions: "k", "g", "ng" and "pk". At the same time, many signs were created to separate words and phrases.

The reasons for the appearance of the 16-digit runic alphabet are not known for certain. According to one assumption, these changes were not due to natural causes, but due to "command from above." This version is confirmed by the fact that at that time the central government made many global changes in society.

The new alphabet was named "fupark" - these 6 characters were at the beginning. It existed in 2 types: Danish and Swedish-Norwegian. The first option included ordinary runes, and the second - "short knot" ones, characterized by fewer branches and their insignificant length. Both types of runes have found their application. So, with the help of ordinary ones, solemn and memorable inscriptions were often carved, and the simpler "short-knot" ones were widely used by traders and ordinary people.

Runic signs were written not from left to right, but from top to bottom. They were not suitable for writing letters on parchment. For this, the Latin alphabet was used, known at that time mainly to clergy.

Application of runic inscriptions and artifacts

The majority of the nobility knew how to read the new signs. After all, runic inscriptions were applied to commemorative stones for the purpose of being read. The Scandinavians carved runes on the sides of ships, horse harness, combs, on products made of leather and bone, etc. In some cases it was the name of the owner of the thing, in others it was a wise saying, in others it was magic writing. The most valuable finds include an inscription on a fragment of a human skull, which was found at the site of the Ribe shopping center. The artifact dates back to the 8th century. It clearly shows the name of Odin - the supreme pagan deity, who was worshiped by the Vikings. And someone, using the Old Norse language of the runes, was satisfied with the fact that he simply carved a word on the usual crest denoting the name of this object. Archaeologists also came across "love notes". For example, a fragment of an animal bone was found with the inscription "kiss me". But there were also serious letters that were carved on wooden planks. So, a message with a request to do something (what exactly - could not be read) refers to the 9th century and is addressed to a man named Oddulv.

Displacement of runic signs with Latin letters

After the Christianization of Scandinavia, which fell on the last century of the first millennium, the Latin alphabet began to be introduced in these lands. This is confirmed by inscriptions on coins dating back to the 10th century, as well as by a letter from a high-ranking person, which dates from the 11th century. But for laconic everyday notes, runes were considered more convenient, and they continued to be used until the late Middle Ages. After all, it is much easier to draw a message with a knife and bone left over from lunch than with an inkwell and parchment, which at that time were not available to everyone.

Scandinavian names

The inscriptions on the runestones contain a lot of information, including about the names common in Scandinavia. Many names were used throughout its territory (for example, Ulf and Thorstein), but there were some that were found only in specific regions. So, Oddketil and Eyulf belong to the West Scandinavian, and Toque, Manne and Asved are common among the East Scandinavian. Thanks to the "regional" names, historians are able to determine the origin of representatives of a particular colony. For example, according to the geographical names in Normandy, one can conclude that the bulk of the Scandinavian settlers were Danes. So, the name of the city of Okevil comes from the Danish name Oge.

The times of the Vikings are notable for the fact that it was during this era that many names appeared, including the name of the pagan deity Thor (Torkil, Torstein, Toque, etc.). Many of them did not cease to be used after the Christianization of Scandinavia. The Vikings did not forget about the "smaller brothers", giving people names that include the names of animals (Gunulf, Stigbjorn) and even giving them the full names of one or another type of living creature (Urm - snake, Bjorn - bear).

The tradition of some noble families was to name their offspring with only a certain minimum of names. For example, Norse kings most often gave their descendants the names of Olav and Harold. Some Scandinavians were given additional names. With their help, they emphasized belonging to a certain genus or to a region. So, a migrant from Denmark who settled in Norway could be called Ulf-Dane. In addition, the names included the main characteristics of a person, his profession, status, etc. For example, the name "Gorm of the Clan" meant "Gorm of the muddler." Many nicknames of famous personalities of the Viking Age have survived to this day: Ivar the Boneless, Harald the Fair-haired, Ragnar Leather Pants, etc.

A large number of proper names, which appeared in the Viking era, still exist today. From the everyday life of the Scandinavians (and not only them), such ancient male names as Ulf, Ivar, Aslak, Knud, Eric and many others have not yet come out. Of the female names belonging to the Viking era, the following should be distinguished: Ingrid, Sigrid, Tora, Ose, Tuve, etc. After the introduction of Christianity, these names were somewhat "diluted" with biblical names. Many of the names that have come down to our days perfectly "get along" with each other even now, despite the fact that their roots go back to different religions.
