Info

The most traditional means of puffing runic magic into effect is the carving and coloring of a runic inscription. This may be done on any suitable material-wood, bone, stone, and metal were the most common materials of the early days, but this should not cause a vitki to feel limited. Although synthetic materials lack hamingja-force of their own, by the same token, they are suitable for taking any sort of charge which you want to impress upon them. Anything which can be carved, engraved, and/or painted can be made into a runic talisman. It was usual for Germanic people to have the items which were most important to them, such as their weapons, written with fitting runes of success; this practice can easily be adjusted to fit modern needs.If wood is used for the talisman, or taufr, the following should be done. Go out into the woods with a bottle of ale or mead and a small loaf of bread. Quietly whisper your purpose and the runes of the rite to the earth, asking Mother Nerthus to show you a suitable tree. Wait silently until you feel an urge to walk in one direction or another, then follow the feeling until you come to a tree that you sense is the one chosen. Perform the first part of the Rite of Tree-Gift (p.284) and leave without looking back or speaking to anyone until you are home. Return in the same silence to your tree at sunset or just after, or sunrise or just before, and perform the second part of the rite. With your ritual knife or, if needful, a hallowed axe, strike off the twig or branch you have chosen; it should be one bending to a quarter of the earth or an aett of the heavens, north and east being preferred. Cover the wood with a black cloth and carry it home, again without speaking in any way. In a ritual of healing or other rite concerned with a person’s growth and well-being, it is actually better to cut the runes into the living tree, on a bough bending towards the east. When carving the runes, you should sing the name or galdrsound of each as long as you work on it, prolonging the initial sound as long as possible. This should be done in a slow rhythm of deep, regulated breathing from the center of your body, as should all galdr-singing. As you inhale, you should feel the streams of power flowing into your body, filling you with brilliant, tingling might; as you carve and sing, you should be able to see the power flowing forth into the grooves you cut, shining brightly in the runes, and feel it thrumming through the sax-knife in your hand. The coloring of the runes is the most important part of the process, as it is through coloring that they are brought to life. They are almost always colored red. The blood of the vitki is the most traditional pigment for the runes, as it fills them with her/his life and hamingja-force. Red ochre is also a traditional pigment for the runes; its Anglo-Saxon name, teafor, is cognate to the Old Norse word for talisman, taufr, and the German word for magic, Zauber. The root of all of these words means “to make red,” showing the essential tie between the act of reddening the runes and the working of magic. Red ochre is sometimes difficult to find in America, though usually art stores will carry either the dry pigment or an ochre-based paint. Red madder is another good traditional coloring that is much easier to come by in the pure form (though somewhat expensive). If red ochre or madder is subsituted for blood, you should grind the raw pigment with linseed oil, singing the names of the runes and charging the pigment with them through the pestle as you would charge recels (incense) during its grinding; this may also be well-empowered with a single drop of blood. The blood or ochre should be laid into the runes with the point of the sax or, if you prefer, with a special tool. While doing this, you should sing the lines of galdr for each rune by which you are guiding the sphere of its workings, feeling the runic might flow ever more powerfully through your body to glow in the newly livened runes. It is best in every way to have the entire ritual thoroughly memorized so that you may concentrate fully on the might which you summon and guide into the runes written on the taufr. Further steps are more or less optional depending on your needs and level of experience with rune-magic: someone who has worked with runic energies and ritual for many years will naturally have less need of outward forms than someone who has just been doing it for a while. The practice of full ritual is of great benefit to the beginning and intermediate students, both because the changesit makes within the worker. As with all skills, constant practice and testing your limits are the keys to growth and success. An example of a full scale ritual for creating a runic taufr may be found in chapter 21 under Rite of Carving. 22
7: RUNES OF THE ELDER FUTHARK FEHU Galdr-sound: ffffffff (a hissing f; like the crackle of flames) Letter: F Money is a comfort to everyone though every man ought to deal it out freely if he wants to gain approval from the lord. — Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem (Gold) causes strife among kinsmen the wolf grows up in the woods. — Old Norse Rune Rhyme (Money) is the strife among kinsmen and the fire of the flood-tide and the path of the serpent. — Old Icelandic Rune Poem One is called help and will help you in all sickness / sorrow and affliction. — Havamal 146 The rune name fehu literally means “cattle,” which were the measure of wealth in the earliest period of Germanic history. As the society developed, the power embodied by the cattle themselves was transferred to the gold with which one could buy them. Both served in turn as the physical representation of the mobile energy which manifests as money in human dealings. The rune fehu is translated as “wealth” or “gold” in the rune poems, but its etymological origin continues to suggest the strength of fertility and lifeforce which are essential aspects of this stave. war between the Aesir and the Vanir.[3] This war could only be ended by the giving of hostages the use of the power of gebo to harness fehu (as hinted at in the Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem) by channeling its energies into the binding of exchange. The tales centering around Andvari’s hoard- the Sigurdhr poems, Volsunga Saga, Niebelungenlied, etc., which tell of a repeated cycle of kin-murder-how the terrible woe which fehu can work if its energies are not carefully controlled and directed in their flowing. The energy of fehu must be kept in motion or it becomes tainted. This is the meaning behind the stories of dragons gold being poisoned. The connection between wealth, fertility, and general life-energy is visible in the nature of the goddess Freyja and the god Freyr, whose powers govern prosperity and well-being in all their forms. Both Freyja 23
