A guide for the use of an Ancient Oracle.
Few people today have heard the word "RUNES". Among those of Scandinavian descent and among readers of Tolkien, yes, a light goes on. But that's about the extent of it. An ancient alphabetic script, each of whose letters possess a meaningful name as well as a signifying sound, Runes were employed for poetry, for inscriptions and divinations, yet never evolved as a spoken language. Next to nothing has been written about the Runes as a contemporary Oracle. Blessings be as we commence to explore this ancient wisdom!
The interpretations of the Runes as used for divination are lost to us. While legomonism -- the passing on of sacred knowledge through initiation -- was practiced among Rune Masters of old, their secrets were not recorded or, if recorded, did not survive. In ancient times the Runes and their symbols were used by warriors bent on conquest. It is my hope that the Runes, in these times, will aid the Spiritual Warrior, the one whose quest is doing battle with the self, the one whose goal is self-change. The Bhagavad Gita Chapter 6 verse 5, says:
The
Spiritual Warriors' Ring
Lift
up the self by the Self
And don't let the self droop down,
For the Self is the self's only friend
And the self is the Self's only foe"
INVOCATION
God
within me, God without,
How shall I ever be in doubt?
There is no place
where I may go
And not there see God's face, not know
I am God's
vision and God's ears.
So through the harvest of my years
I am the Sower and the Sown,
God's
Self unfolding and God's own.
