Runes are a serious tool that requires understanding, respect and reverence. Runes are history and traditions. In this section we will analyze what, how and where, so that everything works out and we don’t have to pay anything for it.

You can apply runes:

a) To yourself
b) To another person
c) In the photo
d) For water, food, soap, cream, etc.
e) On Blank sheet paper or other material.

Condition: The material must be such that you can wipe or destroy the runes.
It is not recommended to apply runes in the form of a tattoo or carve them on a multi-ton stone slab.

There are several rules for applying to yourself:

1) If we influence ourselves(we are looking for money, work, losing weight, getting treatment, etc.) - then the runes are applied
to the left side of the body or in your photo.

2) If we influence others from ourselves(we create confusion, love spell, drying spell, etc.) -
to the right side of the body. Or maybe in his photo. If there is no photo, draw schematically (stick-stick cucumber, here comes a little man), write his name, visualize as much as possible the person you are working for and apply the runes.

The specific location doesn't matter. Wherever you can reach (without fanaticism)

3) Medicinal formulas can be applied to food or water.
They are cut out on food. And they draw on the water with something - a toothpick, a knife, etc.

4) It is possible to apply runes to bath foam, soap, cream, comb, etc.

Important to remember!

About: WHAT TO WRITE

Remember: The main thing is that the runes are on the carrier.
You can write with a pen, pencil, pastel, paint, scratch with a nail, cross-stitch, etc.
In extreme situations, you can draw with your finger on foggy glass, or draw on water with a stick...
If we are treating with runes, then it can be applied to the sore spot or on the wrist with saliva.
The main thing is that the runes are in the right place, you know about them and specify them correctly.

Regarding color - I don’t make divisions by color and write all the runes in one color - black, but I can also use blue - it depends on which pen is closer (just kidding).
Runes are a powerful magical tool. They themselves contain power, enormous power. And this power does not have any color, it is not black and not white, it is not gray or crimson. Strength is strength. Power is the current in the socket, the current is completely indifferent to where it flows and what to set in motion - an electric chair or a kettle.

Therefore, runes themselves do not belong to either white or black magic. Runes are runes, but the operator (the person weaving the formula or ligature) can give them the color he wishes.

Runes can attract wealth, or you can take away luck, you can heal, or you can send death.

Runes are also letters of the alphabet, there are few of them, only 24 in Futhark. And from the letters you can put together the most different words: love and hate, life and death, dawn and midnight, laughter and blood, joy and sacrifice.

There is nothing bad in the runes, everything bad, like the good, is concentrated in us, in the people who were given the instrument - the Runes.

The question is whether to burn or not to burn written runes.

If you applied runes to yourself, and not only to yourself, your intention must specify the validity period of the runes, i.e. to say “the runes begin to work from the moment of application / tomorrow morning / when Petya appears within sight / something of his own” - this is called activating.

And to designate the condition under which the runes finish their work “the runes stop working when... they are washed off the body/the intention is fulfilled in full/in 3 days at such and such a time/its own...”

Runes can act in different ways, we are all different and runes affect us differently. Therefore, I always, I emphasize again, you should always have the opportunity to “turn off” the formula!

When the result specified in the intention is achieved, the formula must be washed off; if it was applied to a photo/paper/wood, burn it; on metal/leather/non-flammable substance, break/cut it and throw it into running water or bury it. All this is done with words of gratitude and respect for the runes, we thank them for their work, for the result obtained, and let them go.
Polite, correct, respectful and most importantly - sincere. Then they will help with pleasure.

Cleaning with runes

When applying any global formulas, for example, “meeting your destiny”, “finding new job", etc. and then when you feel that there is a lot of negativity towards you, that there is someone who actively wishes you bad things, that health problems do not go away, no matter how much you are treated, that you seem to be walking in circles or knocking only on closed doors – you need to throw off the accumulated negativity from yourself and your life. And this is done by cleaning. Cleaning can be runic, or maybe in other ways.
If after the cleansing your sensations have not improved, you have not felt better, you have not seen new opportunities, or simply everything remains the same as it was before the cleansing, then you need not just cleaning, but diagnostics.

How to measure formulas? (disclaimers)

Disclaimer is 80% successful work rune The clause is drawn up according to a standard scheme and pronounced in a low voice.

Measure very carefully! The runes are straight, they don’t understand or don’t want to understand our sentiments and delights, read here, don’t read here, but here they wrapped the fish. The runes do what they are asked to do.

Every time you work with runes, it’s a comprehensive assessment of the situation and its elaboration down to the details! Then the runes will respect you and willingly help you.

The elm/formula is the energetic matrix, and the intention is the matrix's program of action. Therefore, when cleaning, you should not use general or general words and expressions, such as “clean out all the bad things,” “get rid of all the negativity,” etc.

With such an intention, you can easily end up, for example, in a hospital, or be fired from your job, and there is nothing to be offended by the runes, they just fulfilled what was ordered! They said - remove all the bad things - and at that time you had a slight inflammation of appendicitis, which, perhaps, would have gone away on its own, but the runes carry out the order: inflamed appendicitis is bad, which means it needs to be removed - you are in the hospital on the operating table. We wanted it well, but it turned out - as always.

Or another intention - “to remove everything that prevents me from finding my purpose/path in life” - and that’s it... You’re going to Africa to save the world from AIDS... or maybe this is your purpose??? Therefore, be careful with cleansing and especially with runes.

How to measure runes correctly?

“With this runic formula, I cleanse and remove from myself all the negativity received both from one person and from a group of people, both acquaintances and strangers, both from entities, beings and programs of an energy-informational structure known to me and unknown. Everything that has a negative connotation or carries a negative program leaves me without causing harm to my health, my destiny, my loved ones and my family, everything that brings positive changes to my life. Let it be so!"

Scheme of work:

1.decided on the desired result and the specific object of influence of the runes.
2. picked up a runic formula or wrote it yourself.
3. wrote an intention for the formula or found the desired intention.
4. applied runes to themselves/paper/photo/…
5. After application, we spoke the intention and named the formula according to the runes (runes love and appreciate respect).
6. activated the formula, stipulating when and how the formula will end. Clarifications - we can add that the runes work without harm to the mental and physical health, or lifestyle, or stipulate the exact terms of work, in a word, any wishes.
7. If the formula is applied for a long time, then do not forget to remember the formula approximately once every 2 weeks, tracing it with your finger and repeating your intentions.
8. after receiving what you want, destroy the runes (burn the photo/paper) or wash them off the body, with gratitude and respect.

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF RUNES:

1. Is it necessary to perform a ritual to apply a runic formula?

No, not necessarily. Any ritual actions are intended primarily to concentrate consciousness and form the vector of application of the practitioner’s will.

2. Is it necessary to turn to the Gods to apply the runic formula?

No, not necessarily. The gods should not be disturbed over trifles, and the Runes themselves are a fairly powerful egregor that can ensure the effectiveness of work.

3. Is there a concept of ransom in runic magic and how is it done?

No, in runic magic there is no concept of ransom. However, when turning to the Gods for help Northern Tradition It is customary for them to bring gifts or offerings (the qualitative composition of the offerings may vary depending on the chosen Deity and the conditions of the operator). In other cases, there can be no “payments,” “repayments,” or “salaries.”

4. Where should the runic formula be applied - on yourself, in a photo, or to make an amulet?

It all depends on the subject, object and mechanism of action of the formula:
— it makes sense to apply formulas to a person’s body that will act only on himself — formulas for health, attractiveness, etc., where he is simultaneously the subject and the object of influence.

- on a photo of another person it makes sense to apply formulas that will, accordingly, act only on him, and where the mechanism of influence is closed on the “object”.

- “broad plan” formulas, in which the work of the formula is limited to the operator (the subject of influence), but is addressed to an unlimited circle of potential subjects, or if these subjects can change, it is better to use them with the creation of “objects of power” (for example, amulets).
Some formulas can be used in several ways, but with a corresponding adjustment of intent.

5. How to apply formulas to household items, decorations, etc.? How to apply formulas to yourself?

The formula is applied in the same way as on any other medium - the same way as regular text is written. If the carrier has an external and internal side and there is a need to apply the formula to inner side, you should do exactly the same - considering the inside of the object as a “working plane”. Inverted runes will not act like... By design they are applied straight.

When applying the formula “to yourself,” write the runes as if another person were writing them on your body.

6. Is it possible to use a piece of paper with a surname or initials instead of a photo?

Can. Any symbolic connection to a person is suitable - provided that the operator of the influence has a sufficient degree of concentration.

7. Is it possible to use a visa to a runic formula instead of describing the action of each rune included in the formula?

It is possible - the working principle should reflect the mechanism of action of the formula, incl. and the runes included in it. You can do without a visa - with a simple formulation of intention (a reservation). However, this formulation must be clear and potentially implementable with the help of the runes involved.

8. What visas can be used for runic formulas?

Any visa is good (from the point of view of runic magic, not versification) if it correctly formulates the operator’s intention and clearly sets the task for the working runes. In other words, the wording could be something like this:

- appeal to the Runes, i.e. a visa of an invocative nature (“Runes, serve me and do this and that to the enemy”);

— appeal to the object of influence, i.e. spell of an incantatory nature (“From now on you will be such and such and such and such will happen to you, you will do such and such”);

— replacement of the object of influence, i.e. The visa is of a hypnotic nature (the visa reflects, and you voice the state of the object that will be achieved as a result of the action of the formula.

These options are alternative; it is not logical to combine all three types in one hang.
The same applies to the usual formulation of intention, which must be carried out taking into account the chosen mechanism of action of the formula and its carrier.

9. When applying the formula to yourself or to an object of power, if the formula is on your hand, which hand is better to choose?

Left hand is responsible for the past and directs the impact on itself, is the “receiver”.
Right hand is responsible for the future and directs the impact in external world, is “broadcasting”.

10. What photographs are suitable for applying formulas - where the subject of influence is depicted himself or joint photos?

It depends on the chosen formula and the task at hand. If the impact is “spot”, it is better to take an individual photo.

11.What color should I apply the runic formula?

The color of the formula, like the coloring element itself, is not important for Rune’s work. If for you personally the intended action (for example, receiving money using a runic formula) is associated with some color (for example, green - the color of the dollar) - you can use it.

Applying runes horizontally or vertically is also not important.

Remember!

The runes work in a cycle, that is, they reach a maximum in positive influence and, like a pendulum, fly back. Your task is to destroy the formula immediately after the result.

P.S. Next time I will give some examples of rune clauses. Good luck to everyone in their creativity!

The runes themselves are not just pieces of wood with icons, or amulets. For their physical fitness still worth it Archetype. And this is very, very important in runic magic. I'll explain why.

All Runic Magic (not an epic, but a runic system) is built on the fact that with the help of runic signs, you can connect, establish an energetic connection with the desired energy flow or energy center. These flows and centers can be divided into levels. Universal, Galactic, Planetary, Terrestrial, and the simplest - the level of the human body. With the help of runes, you can tune in to the desired center or flow, activate it in yourself, or attract a flow of energy from the surrounding space through the rune used.

This, perhaps, is the meaning of runic magic, to be able to activate the Archetype of the rune with your willpower, the power of thought, open the energy flow in it and direct this energy to the action you need. Everything else is just additions, subtleties.

So, runes are divided into animated and inanimate. Animated runes are those that have already been activated, and their physical carrier (a rune on a piece of wood, a pebble, a piece of clay, on an amulet) is already saturated with the energy of this rune. Non-living runes are runes that were purchased in a store, or made by someone, but have not yet been activated. If you have extrasensory perception, you will be able to tell one from the other. If you do not have extrasensory perception, then you need to do this purposefully. If you want to fully learn how to use runes, then without sensitivity to energy this cannot be achieved.

Each rune represents a certain type of energy, a certain quality and state. When a rune influences a person’s Consciousness, certain images may emerge - for example, the Raido rune - the Rune of Path, Movement. When working with it, you can see images in the form of a road, the transmitted qualities of this rune - aspiration, activation, desire to act. Or, for example, the Isa rune may in your mind take on the image of ice, or a stopped, frozen moment. At the same time, the qualities that can be conveyed are coldness, hardness, calmness. And so on. Each of the runes has its own images, its own qualities. And they can be used.

Can also be used according to different levels. The simplest one is information. You can talk to runes, you can consult with them. They can give you a hint. Fortune telling with runes, you come into contact with the information field of the planet and decipher with the help of runes, each of which has an image. There are runes that give positive signs, there are runes that give information that there may be obstacles or difficulties of a certain kind in your life. You can also determine the reasons for these difficulties, the reasons for the current problem. This way you can extract information about yourself, about others, about events, etc. This is the simplest level.

They are considered more complex and energy-intensive using the energy power of runes. That is, the activation of certain energy flows to influence people and objects. You can also influence events. Speed ​​up, slow down. Change. Stop. Runes can be used both in treatment, healing, restoration of energy damage, and for protection from negative impacts. Objects, amulets, can be charged with a large amount of energy, which can be used by you in difficult times.

The next level is battle magic. More is required here strong will, more developed consciousness and possession of mental power, in order to use and direct more powerful energy flows. The energy of runes can be concentrated, it can penetrate, it can block, it can destroy and restore, it can connect and separate, it can awaken and put into a state of oblivion. All success depends on the level of development of the person who uses the energy of the runes. Someone can work with energy of sufficient strength to influence on the astral level, someone can work on the mental level. Someone owns only a few runes, which he is able to open and strengthen. And someone owns all the runes.

The most important thing here is awareness, an understanding of what changes we make with our actions in the surrounding space. We can act for good, and we can act destructively. Our impact does not disappear without a trace; we are always responsible for it. And if what we do causes harm, more powerful forces, whose task is to balance the energy state of space. Entering into conflict with such forces means incurring losses. Violation of karmic laws can result in health problems, problems in your personal life or at work, problems can arise in the form of some random events.

The most difficult level is metaphysical work with runes. This is already work at the level of influencing the consciousness of people, society, egregors. There are people who, either by themselves or by teaming up with someone to enhance their energy impact, can influence major public events. Metaphysical work also involves energetic transformation that can be done in your body. By activating a combination of runes according to a certain scheme, a person can make very unusual changes, change the parameters of his energy system, psyche, and the energy intensity of his soul, consciousness, and body. I would not go into details, let's call it transformation, when changes can affect not only the energy level, but also the biological one. With the help of certain combinations of runes, you can also influence time and space. The result of the impact, of course, depends on the power of energy investments.

As you can see, there are actually many uses for runes. For those who want to truly master the runes, many years of study and practice will be required. The only advice I can give you is to remember THREE RULES:

1. Study runes, the longer the better, and don’t stop at two or three books. Read different authors who lived in different time, study Scandinavian, Germanic, Aryan runes. Don't limit yourself to one concept. SYNTHESIS YOUR KNOWLEDGE. The better you know the runes, the easier it is for you to work with them, the fewer mistakes you will make in using them.
2. Remember your responsibility. Only Pure Consciousness can keep the runes under control. Don’t let passion, emotions, ego push you to use runes, don’t let them control your behavior, otherwise you can become a slave to your desires. Runes can affect astral body, desires and passions can intensify, and only Pure Consciousness will resist. Responsibility best friend Awareness. Remember the Laws of the Universe. Remember Karma. Any violations and abuse of energy may result in punishment.
3. Make sure that your Consciousness does not fall out of reality. Energy work with runes, and just fortune-telling, takes you away from reality. Don’t lose the thread of reality, don’t give up on life in society, on communicating with people, on life’s difficulties. Otherwise, having lost the threads of reality, you will become lost yourself. It will be difficult to find the way back; not everyone finds it.

I tried to convey in a concise form what I consider to be of paramount importance when working with runes. In the future, I will add more detailed articles to this section on various aspects working with runes. If anyone has any questions about what was written, ask, I will answer with what I know, and I will help in any way I can.

Hello my dear! I increasingly hear questions from you about how to learn correctly work with runes…..

Therefore, I will try to explain to you here: on this blog, so as not to write practically the same thing to everyone separately... I won't describe it what are runes where they came from and what they look like. Enough has been written about this a large number of information: you can look for it in print, or you can surf the Internet.

I have written about this here more than once, scroll through the pages, read the comments…. I am sure that you will find a lot of useful and interesting information for yourself....

But it's best to start studying with Scandinavian folklore, Elder and Younger Eddas, and then start searching for the most authoritative materials for you.

Here I will write about my practical developments and the experience I gained in the process of working with runes.

I want to warn you right away that Runic magic the task is difficult. You will understand this as soon as you dive into this topic.

It will become clear to you that it is best to devote your whole life to it, and only then may you become a good magician.

Runes today are still a mystery, despite the fact that you can read about them and their meaning in various sources in sufficient detail, and in different versions to suit every taste.

The Internet is full of materials.

No secret techniques are hidden from you.

Everything is in the public domain - take it and use it. If one remained silent, then the other would definitely tell about it. You can check….

There is everything: translations of Icelandic texts, rituals described in every detail, and ready-made runescripts, which have been tested in practice more than once and have already given good results.

But for some reason, even good and proven recipes do not work for everyone.

I have heard stories like this many times: “I used the rune to remove a certain obstacle at work, but it turned out that I myself was left without work and there was no clearing in sight. I tried formulas to find a job, but there was no result. That is, everything turned out exactly the opposite.” This case is from real practice.

Why is this happening?

Because it is impossible to make a good working amulet after reading something about runes. You cannot use ready-made runic formulas.

You need to study runes. For a long time. Attentively. Sincerely.

With curiosity and inspiration. You shouldn't expect instant returns from Runes. Everything is just like in life, right?

Runes will require unconditional knowledge and feeling from you. As well as practical experience and long work.

These seemingly simple things have to be repeated over and over again.

What do you need to start using runes for magical purposes?

Here we will not study Runes. Study of runes, runology This is a big separate topic.

Often the study of runes and practical use runic magic means doing completely different things.

True, this does not always happen.

To become a practitioner you need to know the material well, and in order to know the material you need practice, but this is not the same thing...

So, let's summarize all of the above:

1. First, you need to learn the runes. Find out what they look like and their main meanings. You will find this information here: on this blog, in the section Magic Runes /.
2. Decide on the runic system. There are several of them, here we will talk about Elder Futhark more details here:
3. The next step will require Meditation on the runes. In this case, you need not just meditate on the runes, but you need to write down your feelings in detail. And do this more than once.

You will find meditations on this blog " Runes of Magic" in the section "Meditation on Runes"

1. Try to take the first practical steps.

First you need to understand how to “activate” and “revive” runes. There are many ways, but you have to choose the one to which your heart lies most. This can only be understood in practice. Some will write on paper, others will find it easier to put a rune on their body, while others will need a complex ritual...

1. And the most important thing, without which you will not have a practical result, is to keep a diary - RECORD ALL YOUR OBSERVATIONS!!!

Make reports. Observe what works and what doesn't work.

1. You need to start simple. Don't jump straight into difficult tasks. And gradually make your tasks more difficult each time.
2. Learn practical experience from other practicing magicians, watch how they work. Try to figure out why it is this way and not otherwise. It is common for any person to make mistakes, so before using someone else’s experience, you should check in practice how it works.

It’s always worth trying to come up with your own ways to solve a given problem.

I want to warn you right away that runes will not work for everyone, but only for those who have seriously studied runes and devoted a sufficient amount of their time and effort to Runes.

That is, I didn’t just read the available materials, but meditated on the runes, tuned in to them, passed their energy through myself, felt them on a deep level, learned to understand them and cooperate with them...

For those who are ready to learn new things, who are ready to work hard, give their energy and time, and take responsibility for their actions, the runes will reciprocate and work with them.

Runes are secret mystical symbols used by magicians and sorcerers in rituals, predictions, fortune telling and rituals. The use of single runes involves drawing, applying to the skin, and visualizing a runic sign in order to attract magical energy.

The symbols used by pagan peoples of Paleolithic times became the prototypes of the runes that exist today. This is evidenced by historical finds belonging to the 17th-16th millennia (!) before the birth of Christ: “solar wheels” carved from bone, found at the Sungir site (the northernmost settlement of ancient people of Paleolithic times) near the city of Vladimir (Russia), a mammoth skull with rune-like magical symbols, inscribed with ocher, discovered at the ancient Mezhirichskaya site near the city of Kanev (Ukraine).

Gradually, one millennium after another, a sacred script was formed: first Phoenician and Etruscan, then Greek and Latin. And on the basis of the North Italian letter (Etruscan and Venetian alphabets) in the first millennium BC, the classical runic alphabet was formed.

The original runic system, known as Futhark, first arose in Denmark (II century), took root in all corners of Scandinavia (III century) and reached the continent by the V-VI centuries.

Futhark as a general runic system is a clearly arranged series of 24 runes, different in names and meanings. All runes of the system are divided into three eight-sign groups called “atta”. Futhark runes were used to make symbolic inscriptions on personal weapons, stones, jewelry, figurines.

The first Scandinavian (common Germanic) runes were modified and transformed: the known Anglo-Saxon runes have 28 symbols, and the Northumbrian (or late Anglo-Saxon) runes have 33 magical hieroglyphs. Runic magic was used in every possible way by ancient peoples before the introduction of Christianity.

After the eradication of paganism, the use of the runic alphabet was discontinued. The revival of ancient knowledge occurs in the 20th century and is associated with a series of discoveries of monuments of unknown ancient cultures.

Scope of runes

Modern runic art owes its birth to two Americans with the same name Ralph: Elliott and Bloom. Ralph Elliott began collecting information about runes, systematized them and proposed the first runic interpretation in terms of occultism. Ralph Bloom studied the alphabetic runes (Germanic) and improved them by adding a 25th rune, meaning “uncertainty factor”.

This symbol was called the “Rune of Odin”, in honor of the ancient Germanic supreme god. There are magical runes (capable of harm), used by powerful magicians and sorcerers, and alphabetic (common Germanic) runes, which can be used by the average person in certain life situations.

The use of single runes by a person is possible for the following purposes:

• energy recharging;
• enhancing potency;
• increasing activity and performance (when you need to do a lot of things in a short period of time);
• entering a state of pressure, pressure, power (to influence the thoughts and actions of people);
• protection from external negative influences;
• unleashing creative potential;
• sharpening of intuition.

Rules for using runic magic

Knowing the meanings of runes does not guarantee them correct use. For correct use, the following rules should be followed:

• A thorough study of runes (what they look like, what they mean, what system they belong to, in what cases they are used).
• Repeated meditation on the runes. For runes to work, they need to be charged with your own energy. During meditation, it is useful to write down your feelings.
• Recording observations when using runes (what works and how).
• Increasing complexity of tasks as personal growth. You should start with simple steps, gradually raising the bar for yourself.
• Constant practice. Don't give up runes after the first failure, try various ways to activate the action of the signs.
• Using other people's experience. Don't blindly trust everything they advise. Listen, analyze, look for your own ways to solve exciting problems.

Remember that the runes will work for brave, knowledgeable, hard-working (not lazy) people who believe in success!

Drawing up runic staves

Using single runes does not always solve the desired problem. To carry out some significant plans, special sets of runes - staves - are more suitable.

Runic stav is a set of symbols according to the purpose and direction of influence, collected personally and used for oneself. Runes should be collected into staves with great care, avoiding manifestations of negativity and anger, so as not to cause harm. Stav always works as he should - he does not need to come up with a clear plan of action and impose his own development of events. You should just tune in to the desired result and calmly wait for the fulfillment of your plans.

It is impossible to make a mistake in choosing runes, so beginners should use classic, proven bets. The most common are considered to be for protection, for money, for love.

The protective runic form is assembled from three symbols according to their meaning:

• Turisaz - protects from negativity;
• Algiz - minimizes losses;
• Isa - eliminates his own aggression.

The stav is applied to personal documents, or on a separate piece of paper, which should always be carried with you.

Betting on monetary well-being is collected from profitable runes:

• Fehu - means money itself;
• Soulo is a rune of energy that attracts the flow of money;
• Inguiz - provides development potential.

A simple love spell is applied to strengthen personal relationships, strengthen love affair and includes runes:

• Gebo - means the love of a man for a woman;
• Dagaz is a symbol of eternal unity;
• Gabo - mutual love, a girl's response to a guy's feelings.

You can activate the staves by lightly burning the stone with the rune with fire from a match, or by drawing symbols on your skin. When drawing, make sure that the lines are only vertical or diagonal (not crossed), and the runes are not upside down or connected to each other.

Video: How to use runes

What are runes and how to work with them? Before you start working with runic magic, be it staves or scripts, they must be activated - both in your consciousness and in their physical embodiment. This is not difficult to do, but you cannot do without this procedure if you want to work with runes correctly.

In the article:

What are runes and how to work with them

World Tree Yggdrasil

Before you start working with traditional Scandinavian mystical symbols, you should find out what runes are and how to work with them correctly. These signs are the quintessence of the universe itself, embodied in various combinations of nine branches world tree.

The number nine itself was sacred for the Scandinavian and Germanic peoples. It was given even more attention than three - one of the most popular magic numbers, which is found in the esoteric tradition of most peoples of the Earth.

Icelandic skald Egil Skallagrimsson. Illustration for the edition of ‘Egil’s Saga’. 17th century

In ancient times, the art of reading runes and, moreover, using them in magic was the lot of the elite. People who knew runes were called Erils. The most famous of them was a certain Egil - the hero of many Old Scandinavian legends and traditions. The most famous and practically intact work about him is written by Snorri Sturlsson "Egil's Saga". Egil was not distinguished by either beauty or valor, but he was not lacking in wisdom and depth of knowledge of the mystical sciences. This work is one of the main sources of information on how to work with runes correctly. It contains both recommendations and warnings against the thoughtless use of the power hidden in these signs.

Nevertheless, now any person has the opportunity to touch the mysterious tradition of the Old Scandinavian peoples. There are no restrictions for this - the power of ancient signs can be available to everyone. The main thing is to know how to work with runes correctly.

How to start working with runes - the process of activating them

The main thing is to set up a connection with the runes

Before you start practical work With magical signs ancient Scandinavia, you should activate them in your consciousness. This process is extremely important - it allows you not only to study the direct meaning of each symbol, but also makes it possible to independently draw conclusions regarding the operation of each of the runes and its properties. Under no circumstances should you neglect it, otherwise the likelihood of making a mistake during the work process will be extremely high.

First of all, it is worth noting that activating runes in the mind cannot be called a quick task. To learn how to start working with runes, you need to devote at least one, three or nine days to studying each of these signs. You can meditate on the runes, print out images of them, or simply think about them constantly and try to find your own associations with them. Such a process of spiritual knowledge should not replace, but complement practical information about these signs. You will definitely feel the end of the activation process of each rune - at this moment you will be able to tell yourself that you are precisely aware of the meaning, significance and properties of each of the runes.

Thus, it is necessary to work with each of them, and only after that begin any practical work. It wouldn't hurt to have it in the form of a fortune telling kit. This does not require any special tools, and this process is described in more detail in a separate article on our website. Here we will consider first of all the direct activation of runes.

How to work with runes and amulets correctly - learning to activate them

When you make your first runes, each of them will also need to be activated. First of all, this action lies directly in the manufacturing process. When you work with these ancient signs with your hands, you are already establishing a spiritual connection with them.

When creating a runic set, it is recommended to follow a certain sequence. First, you need to prepare blanks for your future runes, then carry them with you for a while and get used to the dies themselves. You can turn them over in your hands and meditate with them to understand that these blanks are right for you. After this, it is necessary to begin the actual production of runes - their cutting and coloring. Runes are made strictly one by one - you take one blank, cut out a symbol on it, color it and activate it. The most in a simple way activation is adding one or more drops of your blood to the coloring composition.

Another option involves the use of elemental magic. After coloring each die, you should carry it over the fire, fumigate it with incense smoke, sprinkle it with salt and hold it under running water. You can also turn to the Northern Gods and Odin- the direct patron of magical arts and knowledge associated with the runic tradition.

Enough attention should also be given to activating a finished runic set for a long time. It is not recommended to activate more than one plug in one day. In this way, you will be able to learn each of the runes for the second time and further deepen your knowledge in this area. As a result, you will literally feel your dies and accurately guess their predictions when divining with runes.

Making and activating talismans and rune staves

Remember about the service life of the created talismans

When you go through the above stages of immersion in runic magic, the question of how to activate is unlikely to be too difficult for you. Any runic amulet is activated in the same way as a rune set. There is only one additional point - when working with each individual amulet, you must clearly set its expiration date. At the end of this period or upon achieving the intended goals, the amulet must be consigned to the ground or fire, thanking it for the work done.

Also, many followers of the Scandinavian tradition and runic magic believe that a necessary element in the manufacture of each of the amulets is an appeal to the Gods of the North. Chief among them is Odin. This is not an entirely correct opinion - most practitioners believe that runes are fundamental signs in which all the symbolism of the Universe is embodied. And the Northern Gods are only conductors of this knowledge, but not monopoly masters.

Therefore, turning to them and deeper study pagan traditions Scandinavian and Germanic peoples, of course, can help in working with runes. But it is by no means an obligatory part of rituals and runic magic. So a person of absolutely any religion can use runic magic without any regard for alien religious traditions.

Why runes don't work - beginner mistakes

The main reason and answer to the question why runes do not work is their incorrect activation and haste in the process of learning these signs. If you were in a hurry with activation, you should repeat this process from the very beginning, slowly and thoroughly - then you yourself will be able to understand what exactly your mistakes were. It is worth noting that if the runes do not work, this is much better than if they worked, but unknowingly could cause harm.

Use only your own runes or from trusted masters

If your runes do not work for fortune telling and do not give the correct results, then one of the reasons possible error is the use of someone else's set. Purchased sets can attract with their aesthetic beauty, however, it is extremely rare that they are made in accordance with all the traditions and methods of working with these ancient symbols. Moreover, even if the runes were made by a master, they always carry the imprint of his energy, and it will be quite difficult for an outsider to connect with them.
