The Planetary Runes Rune Meanings The Planetary Runes The Planetary Rune Set consists of twelve runes with their own specific meanings, a male questioner, and a female questioner. Here is a visual list of all the runes. Rune Meanings Here is a list of what each rune means. Sun: Fire/ Passion Mercury: Money/ Ego Venus: Love/ Harmony Earth: Home/ Tradition Moon: Marriage/ Union Mars: Conflict Star: Gifts/ Talents Jupiter: Confusion Saturn: Beneficial/ Gain Uranus: Comfort/ Safety Neptune: Change Pluto: Negativity Ceres: Female Questioner Chiron: Male Questioner Divination Cloth/ Casting Cloth There are many different ways that the Planetary Runes can be read but they should always be cast on a divination cloth. The divination cloth serves as a carrying case for your rune set when they are not in use as well as a casting cloth for rune spreads and rune casts. As you get better at casting runes, you can make your own divination cloth. The most important elements are typically included with the casting cloths that come bundled with most rune casting sets, but you can add your own casting cloth as you see fit. Once you have mastered using the casting cloth that has come with a rune casting kit, or a casting cloth that has been given to you by someone else, it is recommended that you make your own. This can easily be done by taking a square, cloth napkin and drawing the directions and element affiliations on it with paint or a permanent marker. Another way for making a casting cloth is by sewing or embroidering the casting patterns into it. You can add other casting marks on it based on your personal preference and revelations received during rune casting sessions. Traditional Casting Cloth Here is a casting cloth design that is commonly used in rune casts and rune spreads. The interpretation of each section depicted on the cloth is listed below. 1.) Asgard: The realm of the Gods. Runes that fall here denote spiritual ambitions. 2.) Vanaheim: The realm of feelings. Runes that fall here denote pleasures, prosperity and feelings. 3.) Lightalfheim: The realm of the light alfar. Runes that fall here denote mental activities and creativity. 4.) Muspelheim: The realm of fire. Runes that fall here denote intuition. 5.) Nifelheim: The realm of mists and the dark side of the conscious. Runes that fall here reveal your darker side. 6.) Midgard: The realm of humanity. Runes that fall here denote the conscious self, the "I" or ego. 7.) Swartalfheim: The realm of the Inner Earth. Runes that fall here denote sensations and transformations. 8.) Jotunheim: The realm of the male aspect of the psyche. 9.) Hel: The realm of Hella, Goddess of death. This realm is associated with the female aspect of the psyche. Instructions: Hold all the Runes in a cup or other suitable container, invoke the three Norns, and cast the Runes upon the cloth. Ignore any Runes that fall outside of the cloth, and interpret the Runes in the areas where they have fallen. Modern Casting Cloth Here is another example of a casting cloth that is used for rune casting and rune spreads. The marked sections are self-explanatory. Rune Casting There are two methods to casting runes. Method One: Rune Spreads To do a rune spread, unfold the casting cloth and place it in front of you. Draw the runes from a hidden area, preferably a bag, and place them on the casting cloth in a specific pattern to read. Make sure you do not get a look at the runes prior to pulling them from the hidden cache. There are thirteen basic spreads that you should learn before moving onto more advanced rune casting. Important Note on Rune Spreads When doing Rune Spreads, determine the gender of the person you are doing the reading for, and put either a male identifier or female identifier on the side of the casting cloth to match the gender of the person you are reading. This simple gesture adds accuracy to your rune spread. Do not put the opposite gender of the person on the casting cloth or put both genders out at the same time or you will not get an accurate reading. Spread One: Celtic/ Runic Cross Unfold the casting cloth and set it out in front of you. Place the runes in the Runic Cross pattern shown below on top of the drawn casting image. Place either the male identifier or female identifier to the side of the casting image, making sure it matches the gender of the person for whom the runes are being cast. 1) The root of the problem. 2) Where you should direct your energy. 3) Problems you're facing now. 4) What will help you overcome the problems. 5) What are you still lacking? 6) Outcome of the situation. Spread Two: Thor’s Hammer Spread Unfold the casting cloth and set it out in front of you. Place the runes in the Runic Cross pattern shown below on top of the drawn casting image. Place either the male identifier or female identifier to the side of the casting image, making sure it matches the gender of the person for whom the runes are being cast. 1.) What mask do I show the world? 2.) What fears are within me? 3.) What am I seeking? 4.) How should I best approach this? 5.) What do I hope to become? 6.) What is stopping me? 7.) What is my destiny? 8.) What do I need to learn to find my true self? 9.) What is my true self? Spread Three: The Field/ Five Rune Spread Unfold the casting cloth and set it out in front of you. Place the runes in the Runic Cross pattern shown below on top of the drawn casting image. Place either the male identifier or female identifier to the side of the casting image, making sure it matches the gender of the person for whom the runes are being cast. 1. Overview of the current situation. 2. Challenge to overcome with this situation. 3. The course of action called for to manage this situation. 4. Sacrifice; what you will have to set aside or consider in order to handle the current situation. 5. New situation evolving and usually the outcome of the current situation. Spread Four: Three Rune Spread Unfold the casting cloth and set it out in front of you. Place the runes in the Runic Cross pattern shown below on top of the drawn casting image.

Spread Five: Quest for Truth Unfold the casting cloth and set it out in front of you. Place the runes in the Runic Cross pattern shown below on top of the drawn casting image. Place either the male identifier or female identifier to the side of the casting image, making sure it matches the gender of the person for whom the runes are being cast. 1.) The bottom right Rune (drawn by the Runemaster/mistress) representing the Querent is known as the significator. 2.) The second Rune reveals the inner self and cast middle row right. 3.) The third Rune is cast top row right and deals with the goals or ideals of the Querent. 4.) The fourth Rune is cast top row middle to represent the past. 5.) The fifth Rune is cast at the center of the square and tells of family matters. 6.) The sixth Rune is cast bottom row middle and deals with the Querent's health. 7.) The seventh Rune is cast bottom row left and speaks of religious matters. 8.) The eighth Rune is cast middle row left and represents the Querent's friends. 9.) The final Rune is cast top row left and reveals the final outcome of the matter. Spread Six: Three Lifetimes Spread Unfold the casting cloth and set it out in front of you. Place the runes in the Runic Cross pattern shown below on top of the drawn casting image.

    ,. , - " , , • • • • THE NINE DOORS OF MmGARD A Curriculum of Rune-Work - • '. Second Revised Edition EDRED Yrmin·Drighten of the Rune-Gild THE NINE DOORS OF MIDGARD A Curriculum of Rune-Work Second Revised Edition EDRED Yrmin-Drighten of the Rune-Gild 1997 - Introduction This work is the first systematic introduction to Runelore available in many centuries. This age requires and allows some new approaches to be sure. We have changed over the centuries in question. But at the same time we are as traditional as possible. The Gild does not fear innovation - in fact we embrace it - but only after the tradition has been thoroughly examined for all it has to offer. Too often in the history of the runic revival various proponents have actually taken their preconceived notions about what the Runes should say- and then "runicized" them. We avoid this type of pseudo-innovation at all costs. Our over-all magical method is a simple one. The tradition posits an outer­ world (objective reality) and an inner-world (subjective reality). The work of the Runer is the exploration of both of these worlds for what they have to offer in the search for wisdom. In learning the Runes, the Runer synthesizes all the objective lore and tradition he can find on the Runes with his subjective experience. In this way he "makes the Runes his own." All the Runes and their overall system are then used as a sort of "meta-Ianguage" in meaningful communication between these objective and subjective realities. The Runer may wish to be active in this communication - to cause changes to occur in accordance with his will, or he may wish to learn from one of these realities some information which would normally be hidden from him.

Tolkien, and five of them are found on the Anglo-Saxon Franks Casket.

    A.·. A.·.: This is a special abbreviation for the name of a magical order, the Astrum Argentum (sometimes the words are reversed or spelled differently) which means “Silver Star” in Latin. The three dots that form a triangle after each “A” not only mean that there is something further that is hidden (that is, there is a spiritual abbreviation), but also form a Masonic symbol indicating that the order possesses the mysterious “Lost Word” of Masonry.

English mage Aleister Crowley (1875-1947) altered the spelling to make it fit his new magical religion of Thelema, and in this new form the word has been much used in the Thelemite community; see Abrahadabra. Abrahadabra: A rewriting of the famous magical word Abracadabra by Aleister Crowley. This places the name “Had,” a short form of the Egyptian Hadith that, according to some sources, represents Horus of Behedet, an area in Egypt. Hadith is the second person of the Thelemic trinity. Crowley believed it was the Word of the Aeon. One aspect of this is that it has eleven letters, thus linking the symbol of humanity, the pentagram (five identical letters) with the number of God, the hexagram, (six diverse letters).

For nine nights the great god Odhinn hung on the World-Tree, pierced by his own spear, the winds between the worlds blowing cold about him. At last he saw, in a blinding moment of might, the runes written at the great tree’s roots. He took them up: great in power, great in wisdom, growing ever in might and lore from the secret his sacrifice won him. He taught the mysteries of the runes to his children among the human race, and these songs of might were sung and carved on wood and stone from Ger- many to England, to Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Iceland, wherever the Teutonic peoples walked in their bright paths of battle and hidden wisdom.

This work has been supported by Facebook. 2 Table of Contents Introduction………………………..…...…..4 Images and Symbols………………………..8 Language: Codes, Acronyms and Key Phrases………………….………………….36 Glossary of Far-Right Terminology………62 3 Introduction 4 Introduction 1 Extremist online discourse valorises, exonerates and so at minimum implicitly acts to incite violence against opponents and those deemed (genetically, ethnically, religiously, sexually, politically or nationally) ‘inferior’. Given that such goals are socially unacceptable, and often illegal, extremist speech communities need to camouflage their politics by either shifting the context in which they take place (e.g. private meetings, encrypted communications) or by coding and cloaking their terminology and symbols. Codes, euphemisms and veiled signs are therefore a defining feature of online extremist discourse.1 2 The use of such codes serves a range of interpersonal, rhetorical and political functions. First, codes help to ensure that communication remains within accepted (typically legal) boundaries. These codes shift over time, partly because what is socially and/or legally proscribed changes. Second, since codes essentially offer a new way to convey political extremism, they signal the continued advocacy of a political ideology for those able to interpret the code. Just as a party logo might change but will continue to represent the party in question, so too a new word, image or meme can communicate an established ideological commitment.

  • The Ancient Divination Alphabet the History, Uses, and Meaning of Runes
    The Ancient Divination Alphabet The History, Uses, and Meaning of Runes By Kat Ohren, Crystal Inner Circle What are Runes? Runes are ancient symbols that have been used for many years for magical and divination purposes. The word rune appropriately means ‘secret’ or ‘something hidden’. They can offer you the meanings and answers you are seeking from within. Many argue that runes can be used to predict future events. However, another large part of the community believes runes and other various forms of divination are used to find answers within yourself. The idea is that you already have the answers that you seek, you just may need a little intervention and interpretation from the Divine and the Universe to bring them to the surface. The three best-known runic alphabets are the Elder Futhark (around 150–800 AD), the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc (400–1100 AD), and the Younger Futhark (800–1100 AD). The most widely used and agreed upon seems to be the Elder Futhark set. The Elder Futhark consists of 24 runes that often are arranged in three groups of eight; each group is referred to as an Ætt. The earliest known sequential listing of the full set of 24 runes dates to approximately CE 400 and is found on the Kylver Stone in Gotland, Sweden. (Page, 2005) 1 | P a g e Crystal Inner Circle The Legend of Runes Legend has it that runes were a sacred gift to mortals and were first given to the Norse God Odin after he wounded himself with a spear and then hung himself from Yggdrasill, the World Tree, for nine days.

  • Mannaz Integration Exercises (PDF)
    © Magin Rose 2020 MANNAZ AWAKENING Awakening to the Runes m Awakening to Mannaz integration exercises Work with Mannaz Chant the rune name mahn-arz and ‘mmmmmmm ’ or ’marh marh marh’ sounds (in the shower is fine if you want a little privacy). Try allowing your lips to soften and the sound to come very gently, almost as a whisper. Spend time exploring the shape of the rune. What does it remind you of? How does it feel to make the shape with your body? The modern English ‘m’ is the direct descendent of Mannaz. Look for words in Eng- lish as well as the other Germanic languages using the letter ’e’. Examples tracing back to Old English include: man, make, might (strength), mind, may (’to be allowed to/ could’), magistrate, master, maiden, mother, murder, mouth, many, meadow, martyr, meal, mast, mark, mead, moon, month, milk, much, middle Draw Mannaz on your diary/ bullet journal/ doodles/ shopping lists Wear a Mannaz pendant, draw it on you body, put a picture by your bed and/or on your home altar Look for Mannaz in the shapes around you. The branches of trees, man made struc- tures and patterns are good places to find runes. Meditate or write about how Mannaz is turning up in your life The Rune Poems The rune poems are the oldest source of our knowledge about each rune. Some runes have three poems, some one. Let them sit lightly with you. Enjoy them. The point of po- etry is to stir imagining; and our ancestors were particularly fond of riddles.

  • Symbol of Hatred
    Information about the symbol of hatred Life Rune Other names: The “life rune” is also known as the Algiz or Elhaz rune. There is another variation of this symbol called the Mannaz rune. Origin: The “life rune” is the fifteenth letter of the Futhark alphabet, an ancient Germanic script mainly found in Scandinavia and the British Isles. The Algiz variation means "moose,” while the Mannaz variation means “man” or “person.” Uses: The symbol denotes the sounds [z] or [ks] in runic writing. Modern neo-pagans who have no connection to Nazism or other far-right ideologies also use it. Guido von List — an Austrian occultist in the mid-nineteenth and early twentieth century, who had a significant influence on the development of occultism within Nazism — founded an esoteric, occult ideological movement called Armanism. Von List included a symbol he described as the “life rune” in his version of the Futhark alphabet, along with an inverted version, interpreted as the “death rune.” List’s teachings were followed in Nazi Germany, where this rune was used widely to denote life, as well as health, family life, and the birth of children. It was included in the emblems of several organizations in Nazi Germany, including the National Socialist Women's League, the Lebensborn (an SS unit tasked with increasing the birth rate of "racially pure Aryan" children and later abducting children for "Aryanization"), and various other women's and medical groups. Use as a hate symbol: Among modern neo-Nazis this rune symbolizes "life" and the so-called "life force of the nation." It is one of the most common neo-Nazi symbols and is used widely by members of the Far Right in various countries as a marker of Nazi, neo-Nazi, and racist views.
