TEUTONIC MAGIC - Awaken Video

This process of actively shaping the patterns of Wyrd is done by, among other things, cutting and
coloring the runes, which has the effect of writing them straight into the Well of Urdhr, from which they
will flow to directly influence the manifest worlds of Yggdrasill. Because of the all-holding nature of
Mimir, what has been written can never be unwritten-Wyrd is inescapable; but it can be written around.
You may see this in the story of Starkadhr, in which Odhinn and Thorr take turns writing and rewriting
the weird of Starkadhr, one writing for weal and the other for woe. Odhinn says that Starkadhr will
always be victorious in baffle, Thorr replies that he will always be wounded grievously; Qdhinn gives
Starkadhr the gift of poetry. Thorr decrees that he will never remember his own staves; Thorr dooms
Starkadhr to be the last of his line, Odhinn gifts him with a life three times as long as an ordinary man’s,
Thorr adds that Starkadhr must do one dastardly deed (of betrayal) in each lifetime1 and so forth. This
same idea shows up in the Germanic children’s story of Sleeping Beauty, in which one of the fairies (a
survival of the lesser Norns who attend each person at childbirth) cannot take off the other’s curse of
death for the young princess but can only modify it to a hundred years of sleep. This is precisely the
power of the runes: to write Wyrd, and write around it at need (nauthiz), For this reason, it is good to cast
the runes several times in a working so as to avoid unknowingly writing your own doom. You should read
the runes before acting to see what is likely to happen if you do nothing, again if you do the work as
planned, and a third time after the work has been done to see what is now written.
