Stan - The Stone of Ing & The English Awakening

In my post about the Ar-Kan Runes I pointed out that the above version of the Stan-Rune would best serve us as representing the White Stone of Ing. After doing so I have been reading up on my notes which are kept on the runes, and a thought arose on the subject which I see as important to us. 

We have the sequence 'Calc-Stan' which means 'Chalk-Stone' which is, of course, a 'White Stone'. In the above rune we have the name 'Stone of Ing' etched into the rune-stave -

'He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the Hidden Man-na, and will give him a White Stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no-one knoweth saving he that receiveth it.'

Revelation 2:17

Here we have the prophecy fulfilled, but not just in the Christian Bible, for it is shown clearly in our own English Runes, hidden within the above version of the Stan-Rune. And the Stan-Rune appears only in our own rune-row and not in the Elder Futhark, Younger Futhark or Armanen System. Again, we seem to have proof that these 'English Runes' are the key to the 'English Mysteries' and the use of the Ar-Kan Rune-Lag is essential to the English Awakening. 

'Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God...and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is New Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God; and I will write upon him my new name.'

Revelation 3:12

I have covered this before but it is clear that the 'pillar in the temple of my God' is the White Stone of Ing which has the name 'Ing' upon it. The 'New Jerusalem' that is said to 'cometh down out of heaven from my God' is the future England, and the 'new name' is written upon the one who discovers these mysteries - the name of 'Ing'. Is it not strange that the phrase 'my God' is repeated no less than four times, not 'God' which would be more suited to the Judaeo-Christian Bible. It is clear that the New Age is the 'Age of Ing' and the new God-Form or Archetype is Ing - the Divine Ancestor of the English Folk. 

When we place the Germanic Ing-Rune into the above version it makes the glyph at the top, so both versions contain the 'Stone of Ing', and when we add the Cal-Rune we get the 'White Stone of Ing'. The 'new name' refers to the 'new name of God', which is in this case - Ing or Ingwe, for this is the 'Age of Ing' which was conceived on August 11th 1999 together with the 'Resurrection of Ingwe' as the 'King of the English'. 

The Calc-Rune is the Rune of Kalki (and Kali which is his opposite in a sense, as Hamasson has pointed out) and this is underlined when we consider one of the meanings of chalcan which is 'coming from heaven' referring to the Last Avatar (HelgiH) but also to the 'Stone that fell from Heaven' which is the Graal Stone. The Holy White Stone is connected to the idea of being counter to the 'Black Stone' (symbolic of darkness now) and is 'The stone at the Spiritual Centre which has the power to resurrect the Phoenix ('Fire-Eagle'). 

To understand what I am going to say it is necessary to realise that much of what has come into the Islamic Tradition (in regard mainly to the Sufi Spiritual Tradition) stems from Persia and the Aryans that gave their name to this area which revived its former title in 'Iran', a corruption of 'Aryan'. It appears that the Persian-Arabic ghral could be the root of our word 'Grail' or 'Graal', meaning 'holy stone'. We may not have to go so far away, since there could be common roots for the word since it also comes into the Celtic 'cer' or 'cerrig' which means 'stone' and which seems to originate in the form *gar. We can reconstruct the original meaning through using the term Gar-al which stems from the Gar-Rune ('Spear') and 'Al' which is the same as 'El' which means 'Light' thus 'Spear of Light'. Now even this is a 'coincidence' since the Graal Mythos (through what we call the Four Hallows) appears to come from Ireland ('Land of the Arya') and the 'spear', one of the four sacred objects, is the Spear of Lugh, the name 'Lugh' stemming from an Aryan Root meaning 'Light'. We cannot rule out that the Aryan Initiates who created the Graal Mythos did not recognise the subtle links in various traditions and 'weave' these together into the form it comes down to us. 

The stone (because it points upwards as a 'standing stone') is a male symbol, whereas the cup or chalice (because it points downwards) is a female symbol. The union of the two, when the Spear enters the Cup, creates a 'resurrection' and 'renewal'. The two symbols are fused into the Ing-Rune itself which is thus male-female (which suits the idea of Venus being a male-female 'star'). It should also be remembered that the Germanic Ing-Rune is just that, the 'Ing-Rune', but the English version is a glyph of 'Gift of Ing', containing both Gyfu (2) and the Germanic Ing-Rune. This links straight to the Gar-Rune meaning 'Gift of Ing' too, and also to the Edel-Rune which means 'Gift of Ing' - the last of these relating to At-al-land. 

Lastly, the version of the Stan-Rune that does not contain the Ing-Rune (i.e. the version we use in our Standard Row) suggests 'matter' (stone), and adding the Ing-Rune to this suggests 'Ing-in-Matter', i.e. the incarnation of a god into the physical world - God-in-Matter. This is the idea of the Avatar, who, 'coming from heaven' (chalcan), descends into matter (The Dove or 'Diver'), incarnating into the physical world. Thus, the 'White Stone' version suggests this incarnation upon Earth, and the 'White Stone' has come to light at the very time we are expecting this to happen. Can this really be a 'coincidence'?

The Woden Initiates who left to us these mysteries would have been well aware of what they were doing. They left to us the name of the figure associated with the 'White Stone' - Cuthman. The name has to be broken into cuth-man where the word 'cuth' stems from the Old English cyththe meaning 'native land' or 'kindred', but more importantly stemming from 'cuth' which means 'known', thus giving us Known-Man. In fact, so well known that every one of the English Folk would have known who he was - their Divine Ancestor. These Old English words mean exactly the same as that of the meanings of the Edel-Rune, and thus can refer to 'Blood and Soil' as does the rune. Can we have more proof that it is correct to see Ing(we)/Ing(ui) as the Divine Ancestor of the English Folk?

The White Stone of Ing can thus be seen as the herald of the appearance of the 'Man to Come', just as was the Hale-Bopp Comet and the Black Sun of August 11th 1999. It was this Black Sun (Solar Eclipse) that was symbolic of the conception of the New Age - the Age of Ing. It was also the key to the Resurrection of Ing(we) which was inevitable for the New Age to come into being. All of these are subtly connected together, and all of these were recognised by Woden's Folk and became part of the Woden Folk-Religion. Next year - 2019 - we are twenty years from the Solar Eclipse, twenty-one years from the founding of WF in 1998, and twenty-two years from the appearance of the Hale-Bopp Comet in 1997. The years 1999, 2000 and 2001 saw the trilogy called Lord of the Rings which was an awakening call to the English Folk. At this time it certainly does not look that way, but these things happen at a different level and even though the Dark Forces seem to have total control, and be able to manipulate every form of resistance that comes against it, they will one day make that grave mistake and become too complacent, too sure that they have the final victory over us. 

The White Dragon Symbol may well prove to be the key to this English Awakening, even though today it is flown at rallies that are far from having our own Folkish Weltanshauung. Having said that, even though the strongest organisations today on the so-called 'right' are those created for the purpose of drawing our Folk away from their true destiny, there are people who attend the rallies and marches who are more clued up on the real struggle. The White Dragon Kindred were the first to revive this as an English Symbol, and this was part of Odinism - Northern Heathenism. Hence, the symbol lies firmly rooted in English Heathenism and not in any form of Judaeo-Christian organisations that have arisen due to Islamic Militancy. But I do not feel that I should lay any claim to anything except recognising this as an English Symbol and promoting it as such at the very start of the revival of Folkish Wodenism. The White Dragon Symbol itself has taken off on its own; this is a case of where a symbol can arise not from the physical world but from 'another world' and then have a life of its very own. I believe this to be the case here and it has arisen again at this time because its time has come round again. 

A symbol is firmly etched in the consciousness of a Folk, and arises from the Folk-Soul of that people, even though this happens at a subconscious level and not consciously. This being so that 'life of its own' can only grow stronger as time goes by, since like anything else a life has a beginning (birth) which 'grows' into maturity (life) and then 'dies' after its time has been spent. The same applies to this Sacred Symbol and its time has now come. Indeed, the childhood of the symbol is perhaps nearly over, and its strength would thus take off at a much faster pace (into its 'youth' period). We have to recognise that when the Dark Forces set out to destroy English Nationalism, and succeeded in doing so at the 'civic' level, the White Dragon survived this onslaught and came out unscathed - thus showing the true power of a Sacred Symbol. It spread even further than here in England and at one level represents Germania Awakening.

All of these parts of the English Mysteries can be found in the simple Stan-Rune, even down to the Legend of Hengest and Horsa, since the Stan-Rune can also represent the White Horse Stone or Inga-Stone (Inger-Stone). This is why the Ar-Kan Rune-Lag has been developed as it is, not just as yet another rune-row which has been 'twisted' to suit our needs (as some of the more ignorant would have it) but as a rune-row that embodies the whole of the English Mysteries which arise from Folkish Wodenism and the new Spiritual Revolution. In one set of symbols we are trying to recreate the ancient Mysteries of Ingwe and not only that we are trying to go back as far as the Mysteries of At-al-land. This is why the 33-runes are used since these contain the 'Tree Mysteries' which pertain to the ancient folk of these islands. They also contain the Graal-Runes and the Four Hallows, and are thus best suited to our Folk here in these lands. 

But there is another vital point here, and that concerns the ideas put in an earlier post on the 'Hermes' - 'Pile of Stones'. The Stan-Rune is the Rune of the Boundary, and is thus neither in one world nor in another, it is in that liminal area outside of Time and Space. It can thus also be seen as a 'doorway' or 'gateway' to other worlds, other dimensions of being. That is not to say a 'gateway' that we can use for contacting other worlds, but here we see examples of this 'gateway' being used to transfer this knowledge to us through this 'portal'. This is why so much stuff comes through at this time, because we are being guided from 'beyond', guided by the Gods, Ancestors and the Thule Initiates who live on in the 'other-world'. The first Stan-Rune used here is made up of two Man-Runes, one upon the other, and the Man-Rune is a link between Gods and Men. Again, in one simple rune-stave we have the key to the communication between Man and the Gods - it is here in the symbolism. This rune is so complex and contains the following runes, if not more that I have not seen -

Stan-Rune

Ing-Rune (Ar-Kan)

Ing-Rune (Germanic)

Two Man-Runes

Two Beorc-Runes

Two Eh-Runes

Four Wyn-Runes

Two Thorn-Runes

Two Gyfu-Runes

Sig-Runes

Rad-Runes

Four Lagu-Runes

Two Dagaz-Runes

Two Edel-Runes

Two AEsc-Runes

Two Armanen Os-Runes

Two Is-Runes

The Stan-Rune, in this version as the 'Stone of Ing' contains all of these runes (and maybe more); it is such a complex rune which has to contain all of the meanings of these runes too. The two Edel-Runes, one facing upwards, the other downwards, suggests the sinking and rising of At-al(-land). And these ideas spring from just one rune! Through the Ar-Kan Rune-Lag we are building a Folkish Encyclopaedia. 

The 'Gift of Ing' and the Sacred Blood

The Ing-Rune or Rune of Ingwe

There are three runes that embody the concept of the 'Gift of Ing' - the Gar-Rune, Ing-Rune and Edel-Rune; we shall look at all three here to find the connection and the Mysteries of Ing. It is essential to keep in mind that the Divine Ancestor of the English Folk is Ingwe/Ingui, and as such this has to be of extreme importance. It is also important to remember that the Swedish (and Norwegian) Royal Lines were the 'Sons of Ing' (Ynglingas). It has always been one of our major ideas that the 'Sons of Ing' were driven subconsciously to these islands - back to their Ur-Land before the Great Flood sank the lands of the North-West. 

I have pointed out before how certain famous swords are also connected to Ing or Ingwe -

Miming - 'Memory of Ing' 

Nothung - 'Need of Ing' (Wagner)

Balmung - the meaning of which I am not sure of though 'bal' is linked to the idea of 'light' and to 'fire'. 

The sword 'Miming' was a magical sword given to Hodr when he waged a war against Baldaeg; it was the Wyrd Sisters (Sisters of Fate) who gave this to him, and this version is very different from the one Snorri gives to us because the roles of Baldaeg and Hodr and reversed in many ways. The English name 'Baldaeg' or 'Baeldaeg' is close to bealdor which is an Old English word related to the idea of a 'warrior' which does not seem to fit with the mythology given to us by Snorri. The name 'Hodr' obviously suggests 'hood', a kenning for 'darkness', emphasised by his 'blindness'; it can refer to ignorance, which it no doubt does at one level, for ignorance 'slays' the 'Light' in all of us. But none of this gives us anything to go by in understanding why the sword he wielded was called by the title 'Memory of Ing'. 

It has been suggested that the 'Eye of Woden' which he sacrificed for a Draught of Knowledge from Mimir's Well is the 'Third Eye'. This 'eye' was placed in Mimir's Well in exchange for the Draught of Knowledge which Woden desired, for he was the one god who continually sought for Occult Wisdom. 'Mimir' means 'memory' and the 'Well of Mimir' is obviously thus the 'Well of Memory' - the Blood Memory. Although we cannot be sure of the true meaning of this myth it is certainly true to say that the 'Eye in the Well' is a very ancient idea. In The Wisdom of the Wyrd Brian Bates suggests that the motif of the cutting off of the Head of Mimir is related to that of Gawain beheading the Green Giant; certainly the Head of Mimir is a very important symbol, and this is preserved by Woden in order that he may 'see' into the future. The severed head, as I have pointed out before, is also linked to the awakening of a people, as can be seen in one of the tales of the Ulstermen from Northern Ireland. 

Before we go any further with this argument we need to understand the evolutionary process that has been going on through the Cycle of the Ages. To do so we can first look at the symbolism of the 'Dragon-Slayer' which evolved from the Vedic account of the Serpent which stole the 'cattle' and which was regained by the Arya - Third. (The Fehu-Rune contains this ancient mystery). Carl Jung saw the dragon-slaying as the 'Battle for deliverance from the Mother', and here we see the secret of why the dragon has to be 'slain'. This motif is truly Aryan in essence and form, and it signifies that the Aryans evolved in order to break free of 'The Mother', thus becoming a kind of 'teenager', wild and free, and this is the essence of the Aryan Mannerbunde where the child is taken from the mother and brought up in a Warrior Caste. The peoples of the Neolithic period seem to have had a childlike aspect that was 'unconscious', seeing themselves as part of a whole, and worshipping a Great Mother. There is nothing wrong with this at all, but neither is there anything wrong with seeing the Aryan as the people to break free of this 'Mothering' and take the next stage of being 'individual' and having to 'flee the nest'. The Arya was more free and independent, with the newfound 'ego' or 'I' that, again, was a necessary part of the process of evolution which is the means to the creation of the Absolute I.

It should be clear that there is an 'involutionary' process going on since the original High Race mixed their Igneous Blood with other lower species and thus began to lose the blood potency they had originally. But is we see a parallel 'evolutionary' process which is necessary for the creation of the God-Man - the adult and fully grown man who will have self-consciousness and be a god in his own right, but above and beyond the form of the Original Race of the Golden Age. Those who seek to submerge mankind back into the Primal Chaos or return mankind to the 'Mother' are holding back the evolution of our Folk. We are all brought up at a young age by our mother - the 'nurturer' - but we do not stay there forever. We start to become independent (The Arya) and then we grow into full manhood (The Man-God). The cycle, as with everything, is the same but at different levels. 

We have to understand that the Gods have guided us throughout this process, but in so many European Mythologies we see the Warrior-Hero who seeks independence from the Gods and seeks to 'go it alone'. The Gods, however, do not abandon such a figure, since it is their task to encourage this independence because it is all part of this evolutionary drive towards the God-Man. Once man was as the gods but he was in his infancy and unconsciously driven by the gods; he was bound to 'The Mother'. The Arya was the 'youth' or 'teenager' who is driven by impulse, by wild abandon, free and wild, fighter and hunter, with the taste for adventure and danger. Then he must grow into adulthood, leaving behind this wild abandon and becoming a developed being with sureness and self-knowledge. 

This process can only happen if the DNA and the Genetic Code contains the means to transform or 'mutate', and thus it is essential to try to preserve the 'Sacred Blood' - more so, to restore that Sacred Blood to its original pureness and thus recreate that Ancient Solar Race but this time at a new level - manhood. 

There has to be something in the idea of 'Blue Blood' and that this was the 'Royal Blood', thus linked to the Sang Real and to the Graal Mythos. Runebinder showed us a very interesting link between the Edel-Rune and the Ing-Rune -

Here the Edel-Rune ('Gift of Ing') becomes the Ing-Rune ('Gift of Ing') by placing upon its 'head' the 'Crown' (Ken-Rune). Thus we get the 'Crowned and Avenging Son', the Edel-Rune being The Hooded Man. We may here be able to see a subtle process whence the Folk-Leader ('The Hooded Man') is incarnated upon the Earth prior to a time when the Avatar (HelgiH/Wid-Ar the Avenger) is also incarnated in the same individual. This would explain the symbolism above, since the Ing-Rune contains both the Incarnation of the Folk-Leader and the Incarnation of the Last Avatar. 

The rune that actually embodies the term 'Gift of Ing' (G-Ung-nr) is the Gar-Rune or Spear of Woden. This is made up of Gyfu and Ing - 'Gift of Ing'. Within this can also be found 4 Edel-Runes (when the Germanic Ing-Rune is drawn as a 'square' and not slightly elongated as here). 

Here we have the Stone of Ing and on the White Stone we find that the secret of the 'Gift of Ing' is Fire - or rather the Ken-Rune in its form that shows the fire with smoke rising. The Germanic Ken-Rune could be linked to an 'eye' which is interesting since the Ar-Kan Ken-Rune is the 'Pine-Torch' and the Pineal Gland is linked to the 'Third Eye'. Then we have the 'fire' associated with the Igneous Blood of the Arya. 

Air is carried through the blood, just as spirit is also carried through the blood; in the above we find the Pine-Cone at the top of the column (Spinal Column) and the two wings below the cone, suggesting the lungs which are the means of pulling air into the blood. There are two columns, one each side of the central pillar, and these are 'Columns of Fire' as seen in the above. Winding around the central column are the Twin-Serpents (Kundalini) which when 'squared' become the Ing-Rune. Now, the Ing-Rune in its basic version (Ar-Kan) is the Ken-Fusion Ing-Rune, thus linked to 'fire' and thus the 'Fire Serpent'. 

When doing the Spiritual Exercises designed to draw into the body the Life-Force or Vril-Force or whatever other name we use this is done through Rhythmic Breathing (the secret shown on the Sutton Hood Mask). But this is not just a matter of breathing, but of the actual visualisation of the Life-Force being drawn into the lungs. Visualising the movement of air (which contains the Life-Force) precedes the actual movement of that energy into the lungs, where it is drawn into the blood which flows around the lungs. As we see in the above, the Third Eye (Pine Cone) is below the Solar Disc which is the Crown Chakra, through which the energy is moved to the Black Sun and the Green Ray (the higher two chakras of the Nine Chakras). 

In the ALU-ULA Formula the movement is through three 'Energy-Centres' which include more than one chakra These are the -

Hara - Base Centre (containing two of the lower chakras) - U (Bodn)

Heart Centre (containing the Solar Plexus and Heart Centre) - L (Son)

Third Eye (containing the Throat/Third Eye/Crown Centres) - A (Odroerir)

These centres can be found along the vertical column of the World Tree, and in the symbolism of the Eoh-Rune. The IE Root *aiw- is where this rune stems from, more precisely being Aiwaz (which itself is strange since this was the name of the 'entity' that dictated the Book of the Law to Aleister Crowley - in the variant form of Aiwass). There is also a 'coincidence' that can be found in the rune-row given to me by an Odinic Rune-Worker in 2012 where the reverse of the Caan-Rune is called AEuuas which is a variant of AEwas. This version, the Caan-Rune in reverse, actually suggests an eye looking inwards as opposed to the eye which looks outwards with the Ken-Rune/Caan-Rune. The IE Root *aiw- means 'Life-Force' and is linked to the idea of 'eternity' and thus to the 'infinite'. We should here recall the link between the "Pine Torch' and the Pineal Gland, and thus the Third Eye. According to the Old English Rune-Poem the Light of Ken dwells within the AEthlinga - just where we would expect it to be, and not within 'man' as is sometimes suggested by translating AEthlinga as 'man' - he is the 'Noble Man' (Arya) which is much different. 

The word *alu- refers to a Magical Force which is a 'force set in motion'; but it can also be equated with 'light' since the Root *el- can mean 'light' as in our word 'elf'. This 'force set in motion' is also contained in the Root *er- from which we get Er-min, Irmin, Irminsul etc. Both are connected to the Root *ar- which means 'movement' and usually refers to the Sun and Light. Aar is the Eagle, symbol of the Arya, and this symbolism is very interesting in that the Eagle circles in a spiral around the Sun's Light. The Ar-Rune has often been associated with Fire and Light - the Fire and Light of the Sun and of the most ancient Solar Race. The Ar-Man is the Sun-Man. 

In The Coming Race by Lord Bulwer Lytton we find the Race of the Vril-ya as possession the Power of Vril, especially within the feminine where the power was greatest. This race dwelt inside the Hollow Earth, but we should not mistake this with a physical realm, but with a parallel dimension where the 'Coming Race' dwells ready to repopulate the Earth with a Higher Race. However, it would seem that there are certain areas beneath the earth, tunnels and caverns, which have been left there by an ancient Race of Giants and which (some say) are guarded by certain powerful forces, and which have secrets that can only be unlocked through certain individuals who are given the 'keys' to unlock them. I have no way of proving or disproving this since we have no access to such places not do I know anyone who does. But there is a possibility there is so truth in all this. This 'Coming Race' of the Vril-ya were the direct descendants of the Aryan Race as stated by Bulwer-Lytton, who was associated with the occult and hidden knowledge.

There is an obvious association between the Third Eye and Fire; and here we should bring into the equation the 'Inga-Fire' or 'Fire of Ingwe'. The Ing-Rune can mean 'beacon-fire' and the inglenook is the corner of the 'hearth' and the 'home-fire'. There is another side to this and that is a link between the word OM, which is more correctly AUM, and its extension AUMN (Amen/Amon/Amoun) which has the 'N' sound at the end of the mantra - this 'nnnnn' seems to vibrate readily in the Third Eye, since it is a 'nasal' sound done through the nose and not the mouth or throat. It is also a glyph of the Serpent *Ng(w)hi- whose name is phonetically the same as Ng(w)e- Ingwe. Is this all really a 'coincidence'? It is the 'Fire-Serpent' and its awakening which arise along the spinal column and opens the Third Eye - the 'Fire-Serpent' is thus Ingwe, whom the Vedas knew as Agni. This seems to be the secret held in the Sacred Blood and the concept of the 'Gift of Ing' which is the Igneous 'Fiery' Blood of the Arya which lies dormant but which can be awakened. 

It seems quite obvious that the White Stone of Ing was meant to be found in our own era, coming to light in 1938, the year when David Lane Wodensson was born in Woden, Iowa. This is some synchronicity! 

In the above we see Cuthman holding the beam which symbolises the Sacred Pillar or Sacred Centre; he is shown with a 'halo' and the gaiters around his legs show the Ing-Rune clearly, even if this is a modern rendering put there subconsciously. 

In The Secret Doctrine (Blavatsky) we find the following -

"Sophia, 'the Celestial Virgin', is prevailed upon to send Christos, her emanation, to the help of perishing humanity, from whom Ilda-Baoth (the Jehovah of the Jews) and his six Sons of Matter (the lower terrestrial Angels) are shutting out the divine light..."

and later this is expanded -

"When he (the spirit of Christos) shall have collected all the Spiritual, all the Light (that exists in matter) out of Ilda-Baoth's empire, Redemption is accomplished and the end of the world arrived."

We have to read into the works that we have about this, since when 'Jesus' is 'baptised' in the waters it is this 'Initiation' by which the Avatar ('descent of the Dove or 'Diver') which enters him as 'The Holy Spirit'. Here we should note that the original spelling used of Christ was Xrist where the 'X' was most likely a gutteral sound as in the Scottish 'loch' - thus Iesus Xrist creates the Hagal-Rune (I + X) which is the Rune of Pisces according to Miguel Serrano. In the 8-Pointed Star of Venus (Veneris) we have an + Cross and an x-Cross combined - the Spear of Woden piercing the Hagal-Rune. It is also representative of Sleipnir, the Steed of Woden, which has 8 legs. It is the steed which carries Woden through infinite and the infinite worlds - through the eternal. 

The Germanic Folk have always had a kind of obsession with fate, defeat and with death, which we can guess comes from the race-memory of a great catastrophe caused by the mixing of the Blood of the High Race with lower mortals, itself causing a Great Catastrophe here upon the Earth, most likely when the Earth's axis tilted 23 1/2 degrees. This Great Catastrophe destroyed their original Arctic Homeland - Thule or Hyperborea - and was retained within the Blood Memory; hence the nostalgia for a return to the original state of perfection, but which can only be done now through the strengthening of the 'I' and not its submergence in the 'One'. Strengthening the 'I' means the creation of the Absolute 'I'. 

In regard to the Sacred Number 8 which has been looked at both here and in the latest Inglinga Blog post, we need now to look at the Germanic King Frederick II who became the 'Holy Roman Emperor'. This was no ordinary man since he had dreams of becoming the Master of the World through a knowledge of science and magic. In 1228 CE Frederick II presided over what became known as the Secret Pact at Acre during the height of the crusades; this was a gathering of the elite of the warrior-elect such as the Templars, Teutonic Knights and the Assassins. He also built the Castel del Monte in Southern Italy which was based upon the Sacred Number 8. The Sacred Number 8 is again associated with the Master of the World and with the role of a 'World-Conqueror'.

In The Sacred Blood Struggle (Inglinga Blog) I mentioned the ideas put out by Tolkien on the 'Straight Way' and that the lost land of Numenor was taken into another dimension. This is the only way that we can explain the idea of the Great White Brotherhood, the idea that certain 'Hidden Masters' still guide mankind from another world. Thule-Hyperborea disappears under the seas, At-al-land disappears under the seas, the Gobi Civilisation is destroyed by a great catastrophe, and yet, in the latter, Shambhalla still exists, and from there the King of the World guides his initiates, just as the 'Hidden Masters' were said to do. This 'Hidden Realm' (Inner Earth) remains as it was and is the realm of the Divyas who are 'Divine Beings' or 'God-Men' who guide us from beyond, from the 'Other World'. The opening of the 'Third Eye' and the re-awakening of the Vril-Force seems to be the key to the communication with these 'Hidden Masters' or 'Thule Masters'. 

At the time when the Hale-Bopp Comet appeared in the spring of 1997 for some unknown reason I associated this with Sleipnir, the 8-legged Steed of Woden, the Magical Horse that moves between the worlds. The name 'Sleipnir' itself has 8 letters and could be related to the word 'slipper' suggesting being able to 'slip' between the worlds? We have seen before how this same comet, on an earlier round, was connected to the sinking of At-al-land. I also connected this to Baphomet ('Bopp-Comet') which is a severed head and connected to the ideas related to the Sacred Blood Struggle. As mentioned earlier, not only that but the severed head is also connected to an 'awakening'. Following on with the same theme we are led to Mimir's Head connected to the 'memory' and to the Ancient Wisdom to which Woden gained access to through his sacrifice of an Eye. This is the 'Awakening of the Blood-Memory'. 

The child's word for a horse is a 'g-g' and in the Ing-Rune we have twin G-Runes; the Gothic yggws is used for the Ing-Rune and seems to have taken this spelling from the Greek where 'gg' is pronounced 'ng'. But we cannot rule out that whoever wrote down the Gothic Runes used this as a clever letter-play to hide a secret meaning. 

The idea of the 'Hidden Masters' or 'Great White Brotherhood' also suggests that there is a 'guiding hand' out there in another realm which is 'feeding' our ideas to us, and that contact with this 'guiding hand' is the true aim of our work at this time. It also shows how some of the 'synchronicities' that occur are not 'coincidence' but part of a 'hidden plan'. This is why it is essential to notice the smallest thing that is often overlooked, and piece this together with similar things and happenings to get a fuller picture. The 'coincidence' to the many should be seen as a 'sign' to the Woden Initiate - a 'sign' given to the individual alone, since it is he who recognises it.

I seem to have strayed a bit but this is because it is necessary to see the whole picture and in particular the links between the 'Sacred Blood' and the 'Gift of Ing' which is the Igneous Blood and which is linked to the Sang Real. These ideas are linked to the 'Grail Runes' and to the 'Four Hallows' which occur only in our own English Runic System - which is no coincidence.

Cweorth - The Sword. But this is also the Fire-Twirl and the rune of Ritual Cremation, the means of releasing the spirit through Fire. The 'cw' in this word suggests 'queen' (cwen) and the Feminine Fire. 

Calc - The Cup or Chalice. This can be not only the 'Grail Cup' but also 'Bragi's Cup' which was the cup containing the Sacred Mead which contained the secret ingredients needed to create an altered state of consciousness through ritual drinking. Thus the term 'to brag', after the god Bragi - Son of Woden. This was a substitute drink for the loss of the ability given to our distant forebears to use the 'Third Eye'. 

Stan - The White Horse Stone and the White Stone of Ing; both of these Sacred Stones have been used by Wodenists throughout the last twenty years or more. The stone is a 'gateway' to other worlds since it stands upon the threshold, in neither one world nor the other. The 'Calc-Stan' is the 'White Stone' (calx = chalk) and these two runes embody this concept. 

Gar - The Spear of Woden and the Tribal Spear which became known as the Spear of Destiny which, in the hands of a World-Conqueror, would be used to forge the destiny of a people. 

There are very ancient links between Germania and Tibet and even today the Dalai Lama has come out in support of the peoples of Europe in their darkest hour. It would seem that because of the foresight of certain Eastern Adepts dwelling within areas supposedly inhabited in ancient times by the Aryans, and aware of the secrets hidden by the Aryans in areas of the Himalayas, they had a duty to 'enlighten' the 'white barbarians' who had come under the control of the Dark Powers through the betrayal of their ruling elite. The 'Sons of Europe', goes an ancient prophecy, would listen to no-one until such time as the 'Great Jewel of Wisdom' would be reborn in Europe and appear as the 'Spiritual Conqueror', to 'destroy the errors and ignorance of the ages'. 

In regard to the Pineal Gland Mdm. Blavatsky sees a definite link to the Pituitary Gland, despite the science of her time denying any such thing. She also suggests that the 'current' from the Pituitary Gland strikes the Pineal Gland 'and the dormant organ is awakened and set all glowing with the pure Akashic Fire' - like our own ideas on the Pine-Torch the Pineal Gland is associated with Fire and Light. The secret of the Gift of Ing is 'Fire & Light'. In some cases a lighted torch is placed at the area of the Third Eye. This is the Inga-Fire.

The Ar-Kan Runic System

I have noticed that when studying the rune-workers who used the Armanen Runes, which were formulated by the Armanen Master - Guido von List - there have been changes made which show rune-shapes that do not fit the original 'Mother-Rune' - the Hagal-Rune which becomes the 'Hag-All' or 'All-Hag'. Obviously, although being such a small change in shape, this does not fit the original, nor the original work of von List. Many Armanen Initiates followed the Listian ideas, and added their own ideas, which is fine, but changing the rune-shapes or rune-names distorts the original work. This we have to avoid within the Ar-Kan Runes, something that I am going to work on now. We already have 33 rune-staves which are standard, but which will need small changes, and we have alternatives for some of the runes which makes things clearer. These alternatives are used to aid the process of finding the meanings, but are not there to replace a certain rune-stave. This also goes for the rune-sounds, although I have as yet not fully worked on these, but this will be done so that we have a standard set of rune-sounds, even if we have to have a specific set used for gealdor, since when sounding runes two syllables always seems to work better than one. 

We are in the early stages of developing the Ar-Kan Runes and to do so without having distortion enter this system in the future there has to be a standard set of runes and sounds from which to work with. No, this does not mean we enforce a rigid code onto anyone who uses them for there has to be some flexibility, what it does mean is that we wish to avoid distortion and changes that would unbalance the system altogether. We need a standard to work with, one that others may use and develop new ideas. 

Feoh - Ur - Thorn - Os - Rad - Ken - Gyfu - Wyn

Haegl - Nyd - Is - Ger - Eoh - Peorth - Eolhs - Sig-el

Tir - Beorc - Eh - Man - Lagu - Ing - Daeg - Edhel

Ac - AEsc - Yr - Ior - Ear - Cweorth - Calc - Stan 

Gar

These are the Old English rune-names which have suited us so far, and we shall use these, and the rune-staves that go with them, as the basic names for the 33 runes. For gealdor we shall devise root-sounds that stem from our own Proto-Germanic Roots. There are certain runes that need clarifying -

Ken - this is spelled with a 'K' so as to ensure it is pronounced with a hard sound, whereas 'C' can be hard or soft. 

Ger - this would have been a 'soft' sound for 'G' and more like 'year'.

Eolhs - the Old English Runes have Eolhs-Secg, the second word meaning 'to cut' but since we have the Elhaz form in the Elder Futhark I feel it best suited to use this form.

Sig-el - this I have split into two sounds 'Sig' and 'El'; the alternative Sowilo would be used for 'soul' or 'soul-travel' and also for the Sun.

The first three AEttir have staves similar to the Elder Futhark with only minor changes made -

Os - this stave replaces the Ansuz-Rune, the latter rune-stave becoming the AEsc-Rune in the Fourth AEttir. 

This rune, in many ancient works, forms the basis of a 'Royal Stance' holding a Rod of Authority and a Ring of Power. Since the Roots *os and *as can both refer to a 'pillar' and seem to be interchangeable they refer to 'kingship' and the 'Prince of Asgard' (Woden). Ansuz refers to the 'Ancestral God' - Woden. We shall cover the AEsc-Rune later.

Haegl - This has two cross-staves rather than the one in the Elder Futhark.

Ger - This is a different stave altogether than in the Elder Futhark as shown below -

Daeg - This is similar to the Elder Futhark Dagaz but with the outer staves longer. Unfortunately, I could find no rune-shape for this one but will upload one as soon as I can find one.

The Fourth AEttir.

These staves are uniquely English so we need to deal with these individually, there are eight runes plus the Gar-Rune which forms the Sacred Centre or Spear of Woden.

Ac - 

AEsc -

Yr -

Ior -

Ear - 

Unfortunately, one again I could not find a rune-stave for this one that shows the one we use; this is the CWEORTH-RUNE as we use it, and the Ear-Rune has two 'hands' (short staves) on the ends of the 'arms'. See the copy of the manuscript at the end of this part for the true shape we use.

Stan - 

Gar - 

Old English Rune-Poem

What should be noticed about the OE Rune-Poem is that they are written on parchment with ink, and thus rounded off which was not the way the original runes were written. The following should also be noted -

Ken - the arm faces downwards, and because this and another Old English Runic Manuscript both use it we shall use this one as standard with the other variations being there to use where necessary. 

Haegl - This is an interesting one since there are three different shapes that are used here; we use the double cross-stave version in the Rune-Row, but the Elder Futhark version can be used as well as the Younger Futhark version, which is the 'Snowflake' pattern. 

Peorth - We use the Elder Futhark version and not the one here.

Daeg-Edhel - Here the Edhel-Daeg formation is used in the Rune-Row. The Daeg-Rune can be seen here in the version we shall use.

Ear/Cweorth - You can see the difference in the manuscript, where the Ear-Rune has two 'hands'. 

Stan - We shall use the version shown in the manuscript.

Gar - The arms are straight and not curved as in the written manuscript.

Note - By the phrase 'Rune-Row' this refers to the Ar-Kan Rune-Row which is the basic form for this system. Variations can, and will, be used for formula, visualisation and meditation. 

The above is another runic manuscript bearing English Runes; there are points to notice here since these differ slightly to the other manuscript -

Peorth is the Elder Futhark version which suggests that we would be right in using this one.

Yr - This is an interesting one since the version written here is the Ur-Glyphic Yr-Rune. This contains a 'mountain' (Sacred Mountain) and a Tree within, and when the 'trunk' of the tree is removed it makes an 'Ang-Rune' which was, according to a Rune-Magician I knew some years ago - the 'Royal Lines of Anglia'. This version would be the same really, since the 'Tree' has a trunk (Wolsunga) and two branches (Wulfinga & Heardingas). 

There are only 29 runes here and the last four runes are absent: this could suggest they were added, and no doubt some scholars would follow this line. However, since the 33-Runes are Northumbrian, and more precise Anglo-Frisian used in Frisia too, it may well be that the Frisian Runes contained further mysteries - The Mysteries of the Graal. The last five runes are not in the same order.

On the bottom left seems to be a very unclear rune looking like a version of the Gar-Rune; if this is so then it does not have an X-cross but what looks like the Northumbrian version with the 'arms' straightened. Since Guido von List saw the Gibo (Gyfu) Rune as hiding the true symbol - the Swastika - we seem here to have a similar case but where a Sunwise-Widdershins Fylfot is drawn into the same symbol. A movement in two directions is suggested.

What needs to be emphasised here is that the Ar-Kan Runes must have some form of standard, some basic form to work from, and a form that is unique and suited to our work. This is not a rune-row of the past, it is a rune-row of the present - for the future. This is not a rune-row that the individual can alter to suit his own needs, this is suited to the needs of Woden's Folk and Folkish Wodenism. We hope others will take it up seriously, and maybe find new mysteries for these symbols, but we have to steer clear of distorting the original teachings. The individual can use different versions for his/her own use, but these are the standard stave and the standard sounds that form the core of this. Alternative staves, and alternative sounds will be used, such as in gealdor, but we need something to base this on. 

There is another important point here, and that is the order of the runes and the rune-shapes are suited to the work of the Ar-Kan Rune-Lag and are it is essential that the right ones are used. Take for example the Ear-Cweorth Runes, where Ear is 'Earth-Grave' meaning The Way of the Ancestors, and Cweorth is Fire-Twirl meaning The Way of the Gods. The former implies reincarnation into the tribe/clan, whereas the latter infers the Warrior-Hero going to Valhalla where he continues his training in order to be reborn again at will in order to continue the Eternal Struggle against the Forces of Darkness and Chaos. The 'binding' on the arms of Ear symbolises the 'binding' to Earth', whereas through the Ritual Fire the Soul of the Warrior-Hero is released and he goes the Way of the Gods - to Valhalla. 

This is actually borne out when we compare the Cweorth-Rune with the Ogham Quert, the latter being the 'Apple Tree'. The 'Island of Apples', of course, is Avalon (A-Val-On) which is where 'King Arthur' (the Archetypal 'Once and Future King') is taken on death. Avalon is the same as Valhalla (Val-Halla) and the apples are not only symbols of regeneration, but also symbols of Immortality or The Way of the Gods. This has been incorporated into this unique runic system which is why it is so important to have a standard to stop future distortion. 

The Stan Rune (Alternative)

It was my intention to use this particular rune-stave for Stan, but it came to mind that this one has a particular meaning hidden within the stave - Stone of Ing. We shall thus use this version as Stan - Stone of Ing referring to the Sacred Stone at Steyning. An Odinist suggested that the Stan-Rune refers to the White Horse Stone, and this should not be ruled out, but this version would thus refer to the Holy White Stone of Ing, thus linking the two versions and the two stones. Again, we can see how these particular rune-staves fit exactly with the work being done within the Ar-Kan Rune-Lag. 

In saying this it must be remembered that the Ar-Kan Rune-Lag is the basis of the Woden Folk-Religion and it forms the Mystery Teachings of the WF-R, so it is unique to us. Why do we need something unique? Because we are the only Wotanist, Odinist or Wodenist organisation or movement to recognise the new Age of Ing as the 'Age of Heroes' that heralds the coming of Wid-Ar, the Last Avatar and Resurrection of Woden. Others before have recognised this coming, but we differ in seeing this happening here in England, and we fully recognise the need for a new Aryan Archetype in the figure of the Warrior-Hero - Wid-Ar. And we are unique in seeing Woden as the most Ancient Wolf-God that has actually come down to us through one of our own Folk-Heroes - Robin Hood. 

We should remember that the 33-Runes compare to the Human Spinal Column and the 24 vertebrae, 5 fused in the Sacrum, and 4 fused in the coccyx. It is noticeable that the second manuscript, leaving out the last 4 runes, thus leaves out the Four Hallows and the Graal Runes - the coccyx or 'tail' of the Rune-Row. This 'tail' may represent the sleeping Fire-Serpent which, when awoken, moves upwards along the Spinal Column (Serpent-Pillar) to the Third Eye which is then awoken. 

The Gar-Rune comes at the very bottom of the row, and in itself could represent the Fire-Serpent - 'Gift of Ingwe'. Moving upwards along the column the Feoh-Rune would be at the top of the spinal column; there the 'snake' must move over the head (as in the Sutton Hoo Mask) until it reaches the Third Eye. Thus, the Gar-Rune could also represent the Third Eye, being The First & The Last or The Beginning & The End. The Gar-Rune is outside the Four AEttir. 

The 33-Runes are also most important because -

• There are nine extra runes - the Sacred Number 9.
• The runes Ac-AEsc-Yr-Ior-Ear compare to the Sacrum; the runes Cweorth-Calc-Stan-Gar compare to the Coccyx - 5 + 4 = The Sacred Number 9.

Sacrum & Coccyx

This is a 'spade' shape. 'spearhead' shape, or a 'triangular' shape according to different views. The area has 'occult' significance but the exact meaning seems not to have been stated. Since the 33 runes go from the top to the bottom this fits with the idea that the World Tree is inverted or upside down. The Spear of Woden points downwards.
