The Sign of Ingwe - 1

It is my belief that the Sons of Ingwe should unite under a common symbol, one which is simple to use and to understand, one that can be understood by everyone - the Rune of Ingwe. Using the Old English version of the Ing-Rune, as a lone symbol for our movement, and transposed upon the White Dragon as a common Flag of England, this symbol would be powerful enough to unite a people for a common cause. 

The 'dot' in the centre is the 'Seed of New Life' held within the Nation of Ing, waiting to be reborn as the new English Folk-Nation. This 'seed' now needs to be sown, from whence a period of gestation will follow, in which the seed will begin to form a new 'being' - the English Folk-Nation. Through the last couple of decades we have begun to create this 'seed', which, as with every 'seed' is a blueprint for the 'adult' form - the final form of this Folk-Nation. By taking this up as a symbol we not only reclaim our origins, and the Divine Ancestor of the Sons of Ingwe, but we proclaim our aim of resurrecting the English Folk from the ashes of its destruction. 

We have all of the symbols contained in this very simple rune-stave, the Rune of Cleansing Fire and Recreation (the top version), and the Rune of Virility and fertility of our Folk that will give birth to the new Folk-Nation. Even the remains of any resistance to our manipulators will become invalid as the old symbols are thrown aside - the English Cross and the outdated White Dragon now flown by many who have no idea of its meaning and use. The new English Flag - the Rune of Ingwe on the White Dragon of the English - will replace all former symbols, symbols that are today misused and manipulated by our enemies. 

Rune of Ingwe

This rune also contains two Edel-Runes made up from the Germanic Ing-Rune; these are the Divine Twins in their aspect of founders and creators of a new Folk-Nation. The Germanic Ing-Rune is the 'head' of both figures, joined as one in a unity of Blood and Land. This rune also bears the origins of the Sons of Ing - At-al-land - whence the English Tribes dwelt before the Great Cataclysm that sank these lands, and scattered our people around the Earth. Ingwe was hailed by the Goths - the 'Folk of God' - and these are part of the Seven Tribes of Ing that form the Sons of Ing or Friends of Ing. The roles of Woden (Warrior-Priest) and Ingwe (Sacral King) will be united again in the same Folkish Movement that must arise in these times when almost every form of resistance is being distorted and manipulated by our enemies. 

From what I hear there is a growing interest in Odinism, although not at this time in quite the right way. Perhaps it would be truer to say a growing interest in Odinic Symbols. There seem to be a growing number of groups springing up around England using Odinic Symbols, but many of those involved are not so in any religious sense whatever, and know almost nothing of the religion at all. Indeed, there are a number who are not at all race-conscious, and in places we can see that there may well be groups being set up as 'stop-valves' to draw people away from the true Odinist-Wodenist-Wotanist Religions which would have the power to deliver our Folk from destruction. 

Having said this I do not feel this a matter for great concern because where our symbols arise they can be manipulated, but at only a very shallow level, and such symbols have the power to work themselves and to work out a destiny of their own. As long as we have a strong Folkish Movement alive and growing stronger this will be enough to allow our Folk to find us when they have realised that the false groups have nothing really to offer, and that these groups really have little knowledge of what this is all about. That such false groups are being set up shows how concerned our enemies are of this new growth. 

Some of these groups offer excitement and a new feeling of manhood, which is fine up to a certain level since it is how our menfolk should be. But strength has to be united with knowledge and wisdom and this can come only through a deeper knowledge of the Myths, Legends and the Runes. To believe in a continuum based upon Ancestral Worship and honouring our forebears means a belief in Race-Consciousness which is not recognised in all quarters today. It seems we have moved from the extreme of 'racism' upheld by many who believed in Race-Consciousness to a non-belief in the importance of Race. When looked at this way this former extreme view is probably the cause for the problems we face today, and in retrospect it seems likely this was deliberately developed by our enemies. Race-hate leads nowhere as this proves, but a love of one's own race develops a sense of Race-Consciousness in a positive way. This path we have always taken and had everyone taken it up we would be in a far better position today. 

At this point what is needed is a new impetus, a new input of energy, and that can be done by using a Sacred Symbol which can take upon itself a new life of its own. We adopted the White Dragon as a unifying symbol which has certainly spread much further than anyone could have imagined. But what is now needed is a simplified symbol on the lines of such easily-identifiable symbols used by many groups today. We can use many symbols, but we need one symbol that will unite us as a Folk, and that can be the Rune of Ingwe which has so many inner meanings. This is also a rune widely used for tattoos, which again spreads it to a wider audience, even though most will not know what it means. 

We have sound proof that Ingwe was the Divine Ancestor of the English in the White Stone of Ing and the Legend of Cuthman. What we have is the knowledge that Ingwe lead the Inglinga out of At-al-land, moving eastwards over the waves. In the knowledge that the original Great Cataclysm was followed by a mini Ice Age, this movement would be eastwards and southwards into warmer climates where living would be easier, though some tribal sections would have remained amongst the ice and snow in areas that were still useable. We have also the prophetic knowledge that the 'new god' of our world-age is in fact Ingwe, through the revelations in Revelations, where the finding of the White Stone is prophesied. 

Through the unity of Woden (AEsir) and Ingwe (Waene) we will be able to create the True Haeldom which is part of our Aryan Mythology. Through the eternal symbol of the New Dawn - the bright and Morning Star - we shall be able to bring back to life the ancient Tribes of Ingwe. As I said, the Ing-Rune contains two Edel-Runes, this rune being that of The Hooded One - Woden. In fact the rune-name tells us this is a Rune of Odin (Odal), and it is the Rune of Race and of the Racial Homeland - Blood and Land. All of these mysteries are hidden in the Rune of Ingwe. Also incorporated into the same rune are the Mysteries of the Elves. It is the Sons of Ingwe who have the true Mysteries of the Elves. 

Ingwe is Arctur(us) who is the true Once and Future King, shown here as the Spear-God (or Club-God) and Hunter-God, who combines the role of the landsman (sickle/scythe). He is seen here with his Two Hunting-Dogs, crowned with Golden Stars (Corona Borealis). But there is another, and perhaps more important role of Ingwe, as the 'Driver of the Waen'. The Chariot of Ing is the Great Bear/Plough/ Big Dipper which has Ing as its driver, the force behind the movement of the Great Bear around the Pole Star. 

Yggdrasil & The Fire-Serpent

"The awakening of the kundalini power is felt as a descending and an ascending current. There are two main nerve-channels for the currents, one on each side of the central channel of the spine. The descending current is the energy from above coming down to touch the sleeping power in the lowest nerve-centre at the bottom of the spine; the ascending current is the release of the energy going up from the awakened kundalini."

Sri Aurobindo.

This idea concurs with the image of Yggdrasil - the World Tree - which represents the human spine. At the base of the spine is the Coiled Serpent (Nidhog) and at the top of the tree the Eagle (High God - Woden), between whose eyes is the Hawk (Third Eye). The 'messenger' between the Base Centre and the Head Centre is called Ratatosk. Here we can see a rather hidden meaning to this, since this 'squirrel' (with a strange name) runs up and down the spinal column - ascending and descending. 

The name Nid-Hog can mean - Nid (Underworld, or even death, as associated with the Underworld), and Hog (an old word for swine, pig, or boar). The name of this 'serpent' is related to the Boar. 

The name Rata-Tosk can mean - Rata (rapture, ecstasy) and Tosk ('teeth' or more likely 'tusk' in this case).

Both Nidhog and Ratatosk are related in some way to the Boar. The name Ingui stems from an IE Root *eng(w)- meaning 'groin', the area of the Base-Centre. The IE Root *Ng(w)hi- means 'serpent, hence the link between the groin, the serpent and Ingwe (the Inga-Force). 

The downward-current is ALU, whilst the upward-current is ULA, at least in our own Wodenic Lore. This is actually borne out by the word Alu which is the equivalent of the word Ilu meaning 'light' or 'God'. Leaving aside the usual religious ideas of 'God' and using a more scientific term, 'God' here refers to the Highest Consciousness (SWAR). What we have here is a much more spiritual idea of Kundalini and the Fire-Serpent, since its 'awakening' comes through the Highest Spiritual Light descending to awaken the Sleeping Goddess. This idea of Sri Aurobindo may explain why many may well experience a physical form of this awakening, whilst the spiritual form would take much time and a devotion to the Highest Godhead. This would take the form of active work throughout one's life, rather than exercises designed to awaken this energy. 

This is why Aurobindo goes on to state that - 'The ascension and descent of the force in this yoga accomplishes itself in its own way without any necessary reproduction of the details laid down in the tantric books.' 

In the above bracteate found in Sweden, and on the Finglesham Buckle found in Kent, the figure of the warrior holds two spears, one that points upwards, and one that points downwards. We have here some kind of confirmation of what Aurobindo is saying -

• The Horned Helmet (Solar Horns) and the Lunar Horns that point downwards could symbolise the balance of the Solar and Lunar Forces in the head-centre. 
• The belt (and the buckle in the case of the Finglesham figure) represents the Hara-Centre or Base Centre where the kundalini lies coiled. 
• The upward-pointing and downward-pointing spears must then represent the two nerve-channels for the upward-downward energies. 

The question we should ask ourselves is whether the Seven Chakras (or Nine Chakras in the Hidden Lore) are actually 'lotus' flowers that open out, or whether they are wheels (the meaning of the term 'chakra') that revolve. An activist in WF some years ago had a vision in which the chakras were like Black Suns which revolved in opposite directions with the upward-movement of this energy. Yet another option would be that they are like spirals which twist and coil in certain directions with the movement of this energy. The concept of the worm-hole could be linked to these ideas, since a 'worm' suggests a 'dragon' (wyrm) and thus a coiled serpent. 

The idea that a descending current awakens this 'sleeping goddess' obviously relates to the Shiva-Force out of which descends the awakening-force. This seems to fit the Solar Myth where the Aryan Hero awakens the 'Sleeping Beauty', such as the Myth of Sigurd-Siegfried. The 'Solar Hero' here represents the Solar Consciousness which moves downwards, 'kisses' the Sleeping Beauty, who is then awakened by this Solar Energy. This may well be related to the Boar Symbolism because the Boar of Ingui-Frey is the Solar Boar whose Golden Bristles represent (at a physical level) the Sun's rays, but at a higher spiritual level the Highest Consciousness (SWAR) which are the 'Golden Cows' of the Vedas. It is this energy from the Highest Consciousness that descends to awaken the Sleeping Goddess - Freya/Idunn. 

In the Legend of Sigurd-Siegfried we find the Solar-Hero having to ride through the Ring of Fire in order to reach the Sleeping Valkyrie, which at one level is his Higher Self or True Self. The Ring of Fire suggests a link to the Brosingamen Necklace of the Goddess Freya, although this usually represents Sacral Kingship. However, the 'necklace' is often seen as symbolic of the female genitalia area due to the shape of a necklace hanging around the neck being like an inverted triangle (Trikona). Hence, maybe, the connection to the groin area or Base Centre. 

The Myth of Idunn as found in Odin's Raven Galdor is that of the 'Sleeping Goddess', where she sleeps under a White Wolf Skin. This is seen to represent the white snow of the Northlands, which is no doubt true, but at another level this could represent the 'earth-bound' (Base-Centre/Bodn) where lies the Coiled Serpent. This is the Ur-Centre, associated with the Aurochs (Ur-Ox). The Goddess Idunn guards the Golden Apples of the Immortals; her awakening is necessary so that the energy rises upwards to the head-centre and beyond, in the process of bringing immortality and the creation of the God-Man. 

The symbolism of Yggdrasil is that of the transformation of the Earth-Bound or physical (Serpent) into the Astral-Heaven or spiritual (Eagle). In the process of the arising of the Fire-Serpent the Third Eye is opened (the 'Hawk's-Eye'). This is achieved by a Tantric Love Rite as found in the Myth of Knit Mountain, which I have covered before and need not repeat it here. 

Sacred Numbers & The Runes

The Ar-Kan Rune-Lag system uses the 33 Runes of the Northumbrian Rune-Row which is the number of runes contained in the Old English Rune Poem. Here there are 29 rune-poems, and yet there are 33 runes altogether. As I have noted before, the 33-Runes equate with the spinal column of mankind -

• There are 24 vertebrae in the human spine.
• Below these 24 vertebrae are 5 fused vertebrae (sacrum) and 4 fused vertebrae (coccyx), making 33 vertebrae in all.
• The spinal column, from the side, is like a Serpent (S).
• The spinal column, looked head-on, is like a spade, or even a spear.

It would be very strange if this were a mere coincidence; behind everything is a hidden meaning. The number 33 is on fact a Sacred Number in various traditions, as seen below -

• There are 33 Vedic Gods.
• The second level of heaven in Buddhism is Trayastrima, 'of the 33 (gods)'.
• Jesus Christ of the New Testament is 33 years old when he is crucified and resurrected.
• There are 33 sets of Islamic Prayer Beads.
• There are 33 degrees in the Scottish Rite Freemasonry.
• The first battle of Mag Tuired was fought by Lug and 32 other leaders of the Tuatha de Danaan.
• The second battle of Mag Tuired name 33 leaders of the Fo Mor, 32 plus their highest king.
• Cu Chulain slays 33 of his enemies at the Battle of the Bru.
• Nemed reached Ireland in one ship, but lost 33 on the way.
• 33 men, all of whom are 32 years old sit at the other-world island castle of Perlesvaus.
• In the White Book of Rhydderch (Welsh Lore) we find the following - 'Both three and eleven were equally symbolic, when multiplied together as 33 particularly so. It has frequently been used to imply supra-human attributes, regal authority and deification.'

In using not only the 33-Runes but also the Four Aettir of 32 Runes plus the Gar-Rune as the Sacred Centre, we have revived some form of ancient tradition without knowing this was done. Not only is the 4 x 8 (32) + 1 (33) important, but also 3 x 11, bringing the Number 11 into play. The Gar-Rune is numbered '0' because it can come at the beginning or the end; as shown by the Irish (Ulster) Legends this rune is the Rune of the High King. 

The Valknut ('Wolf-Knot') is a knot without beginning or end, and seems to symbolise the Nine Worlds which are interconnected. Being three triangles it is made up of 3 x 3 = 9. The Sacred Number Nine is a spiral, opposite in form to the Number 6. 3 x 9 = 27, a number associated with Kingship and with the Element of Fire. 

The above is said to be a 'Celtic Knot' and is used in Germanic Lore too; it is an alternative to the Valknut and represents three interlocking circles rather than triangles. The symbol itself shows three sections of three circles making an interlocking 'knot'. 

As stated earlier, the 24-Rune Futhork represents the 24 vertebrae of the spinal column, thus incorporating the so-called 'Elder Futhark' into the 33 Ar-Kan Runes. In an earlier post I mentioned the interchangeable 23rd-24th runes where the Edel-Rune and Daeg-Rune are found to be interchangeable in some artefacts found carved with the Futhark. Now let us look at these two runes.

The Dagaz-Rune of the Elder Futhark is a glyph of -

• Eternity.
• Time - as the hour-glass (turn this around to make the 'hour-glass' or 'sand-glass').

The rune thus seems to represent a paradox in that eternity is timeless and yet the same rune represents time. It would seem that, in this instance, this should be the 24th Rune, since it represents the 24 hour-day (being the 24th Rune), and thus the concept of 'time'. 

In the Ar-Kan Rune-Lag we use the term Mount Me-Ru for the spinal column, a word meaning (to us) - 'Measurer' (Me-) of the Runes (-Ru). The spinal column represents the Sacred Mountain along which the 33-Runes are placed, starting with Feoh at the top. The Gar-Rune is the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last which is outside and beyond the 32 runes of the Four AEttir. 

The Daeg-Rune could be seen as the 'End of Time' and, being a change-rune, this brings into play the concept of Eternity. The 33-Runes suggest, as in the Welsh Lore, the transcendence of the human qualities towards a super-human state or 'deification', the transition from man to Superman - the God-Man. Again, as shown in the earlier article about 'Hope', the last Nine Sacred Runes seem connected to the appearance of the Last Avatar and the transformation of man into Superman. 

The connections here to Ireland (particularly the Ulster Cycle) are interesting, especially when we consider these to be with the Tautha de Danaan who were said to have come from the North. The Fo Mors (Fomorians) are also an interesting case since the name suggests that these people came from an area 'under the waves' which is the meaning of the term. This itself suggests an area around the Netherlands which is, strictly speaking 'under the waves' being under sea-level. The last four runes - Cweorth, Calc, Stan, Gar - are the Four Hallows of Irish Mythology, the roots of the Grail Mysteries. There are certain parallels between the Book of Kells and some of the work done in Northumbria by Anglo-Saxon Christians, especially in the artwork for their texts. There must have been some valid reason why the Runic Adepts had no rune-poems for the last four runes - the Four Hallows. They were deliberately set apart in order to make them stand out.

The Number 11 is the start of a new numerical sequence, where the ending comes as the Number 10. Really, we should start the number-sequence with '0', thus - 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. We have thus an 11-number sequence rather than a 10-number sequence. In this sequence the start is Number 0 and the end is Number 10, thus 11 is the 'new beginning'. 

The Daeg-Rune is not only a symbol of 'time' when turned around, it is also the shape of the Worm-Hole postulated by modern science. Here, once again, we have a suggestion of 'time' but in the sense of 'Time-Travel' whereby the past-present-future merge into one, and inter-dimensional time-travel is made possible. That this is here the 24th-Rune at the end of the Elder Futhark is made even more important, since it suggests here some form of 'Time-Travel' linked to the 'End of Time'. Of course, this is as yet only a theory, but the shape of the rune does suggest a Worm-Hole. 

The triple-spiral symbol may be connected to the Valknut and the 'Celtic Knot' since all three are linked to the Number 3 - Three Triangles, Three Circles, and Three Spirals. The spirals are connected to galaxies, worm-holes and black-holes, as well as the shapes of so many things in Nature. This is linked to the Holy Swastika. The above Triple-Spiral can actually be placed within a Triangle, making such a link even more tenable. The Triangle and the Number 3 are associated with Spirit, as is the Spiral. 

There is one more rune-change made by the Runic Adepts here in England, and that is the placement of Os rather than Ansuz in the First Aettir. Ansuz is moved to the Fourth AEttir as AEsc. I have said this before but it is best repeated here, Os is the 'God-Rune', the rune of Woden as the High God, and AEsc is the Ancestral Rune, symbolised by the Ash-Tree. Both are runes linked to Woden, but in the Ar-Kan Runes they have slightly different meanings. It is, at this time, puzzling as to why the Ancestral Rune was placed in the last AEttir, but there has to be a significance in this move. The only thing that I can think of is that such a move may have been done to link the coming of the Last Avatar - The Third Sargon - with the Ancestors (Babylon). Across the ages the link between the Empire of Babylon and the Third Reich seems not only feasible, but highly possible. The Prophecies of Sajaha foretold of this, and they seem to have been very accurate. 

We have to remember that the Ancient Mysteries hark back to the Hyperborean Druids and the later 'druids' are a mere shadow of the ancient Shining Ones. That the later druids are known to have used a form of Tree Ogham is well known; Ogmios is a name that suggests 'Og' and this seems to link back to Woden as 'Ygg'. We find the first three runes of the Fourth AEttir are linked to trees - Oak (Ac), Ash (AESC), and Yew (Yr). With the last four runes representing the Four Hallows we may well here have a link back to the Ancient Mysteries of At-al-land, the sunken land in the North Sea. 

Hope - Secret of the Runes

This runs side-by-side with the latest post on the Inglinga Blog - 'Hope & The Last Avatar' - but this one looks at it, and enlarges upon the ideas in it, from the Ar-Kan Runes. Again, the Ar-Kan Runes can tell us much more about our English Lore than many scholars appreciate. 

Tir (Tiw) - The Sky-Father.

Beorc - The Birth-Mother (Venus-Moon).

Eh - The Sacred Marriage of the Sky-Father and the Birth-Mother (Earthen-Moder).

Mann - The Aryan Manu, the offspring of the Sacred Marriage. Hope - The 'Mighty One' (Eddas). 

Lagu - The 'Waters of Chaos', the 'Waters of Dissolution', the 'Great Flood', and the 'First Flood'. The Birth-Waters in the Womb of the Mother. 

Ing - Rune of Ingwe, the Hero-God. 

At this point the Edel-Rune and Daeg-Rune are sometimes interchangeable, but no-one knows why. Hamasson pointed out once that the Edel-Rune is the 'Rune of The Hooded Man' due to the shape being of a 'hood'. The rune-stave certainly suggests the Gift of Ing (which I believe Freya Aswynn mentioned in one of her books), being an Ing-Rune and Gyfu-Rune bind-rune. The Daeg-Rune, through its name, suggests 'Day' and thus would connect to Dag who wields the Spear of Woden to slay Helgi Hundinsbane (The Second Helgi). Logically, thus, the Edel-Rune should come before the Daeg-Rune. 

Edel - The Hooded Man (connected to the last rune, Ing, as the English Folk-Hero and 'Scion of Ing'. 

Daeg - 'Day', the 'Day-Break', who wields the Spear of Woden to slay Helgi Hundingsbane (The Hooded Man). 

This would now seem to be the true rune-sequence of the Ar-Kan Runes, though there is no necessity to change the one we have since this is a 'Hidden Mystery' that stands apart in some way (it has been 'hidden' prior to this). Now the Edel-Rune is Rune 23 and the Daeg-Rune is Rune 24. (In occult circles the Number 23 is associated with the Dog-Star, Sirius, which has in many Indo-European Myths connections with Venus.) 

There is actually a subtle connection here because Robin Hood, at the end of his legend, is said to have been blinded (linked to Woden, of course). This is also true of Orion the Hunter (Herne the Hunter) who was blinded. The Constellation of Orion, as Hamasson pointed out, can be found in the Wolf-Hook Rune. Here we have the connections - Orion-Herne-The Hunter-God-Woden-The Wolf. The Three Stars of Orion (The Belt of Orion or Frigg's Distaff) are the Three Magi or Three Wise Men who look across at the Dog-Star (Wolf-Star), Sirius. 

Now, if this new idea is sound then the 24-Runes of the first three AEttir are the 'ending' of this sequence. This stands true of the HelgiH Lays, since the Lay of Kara (Helgi the Third) has been 'lost' to us so far (or not written yet). It is thus logical to assume that, in this 'Hidden Mystery', the last Nine Sacred Runes which go beyond the Elder Futhark, are the runes connected to the Last Avatar - The Third Sargon. This is also suggested by the last rune - the Gar-Rune - which is the 'Spear of Woden' and which is the Gar-Il (Spear of Light) or Gar-Al (Spear of God). These also contain the White Stone (Calc-Stan) which represents the ever-growing power of the Black Sun, and the transformation of the Black Sun. These last runes - Transcendent Runes - also represent the Road to the Immortals. 

That the Edel-Rune and Daeg-Rune are interchangeable thus suggests that the sequence Daeg-Edel may also refer to the 'Day-Break of Aquarius' in which era the 'Racial Homelands' arises once more (in the consciousness, or maybe physically). The two runes can be interchanged to change the meaning of the rune-rows. 

The Gar-Rune, as well as being the 'Spear of Woden' can also be seen as the 'Stone of Light (Gar = 'Stone' and Al = 'Light'). This is thus connected to the quote made on the Inglinga Blog -

'The Spirit of the Emperor will be kept in this Male Stone, the Gar-Il (Grail). Its female counterpart, Ilua, will be safely hidden in the Holy Mountain of Wotan waiting for the New Age. For this birth the two crystals will be united in the Great Baphomet and flow through a worthy woman.'

Many scholars equate the Irminsul (and thus Irmin) with Woden, and so the Yr-Rune (Yew-Bow) should be seen as the Ur-Irminsul; alternatively the Ur-Glyphic Ur-Rune is the Sacred Mountain, and the above thus the Sacred Mountain of Irmin. This seems to be borne out when we consider that the following runes are all connected to Irmin -

Yr - Ior - Ear - (Cw-eor-th)

The three runes - Yr-Ior-Ear - are all connected to the Five Runes of the Sacrum; the Cweorth-Rune fits only through the 'eor' within it, and is not truly in this sequence. 

The Stan-Rune must thus be connected to the 'Grail-Stone' or Gar-Il/Gar-Al. The above version is the White Stone of Ing. In an alternative version of the Yr-Rune we find the Gyfu-Rune inside the Ur-Rune. This version may well represent the Ilua-Stone (Female Stone) hidden inside the Mountain of Woden. The Male Stone would thus be the Gar-Rune which is the 'Gift of Ing'; this is the Male Stone which is connected to the Stan-Rune which is the 'White Stone of Ing'. In this lies the Spirit of the Emperor. This is why we find in Revelation the idea of a 'White Stone' in which lies the 'new name of God'. We see this borne out in the Stan-Rune above, the Holy White Stone in which lies the 'New Name of God' - Ing. 

(At this vital point I can just sense Hamasson wringing his hands in despair - 'He's done it again! I've just published the Rune-Book and he's changed everything!' No need to panic - there need be no changes to the Ar-Kan Runes, these are merely variations. The Ar-Kan Runes remain exactly the same and the order needs no changing. LOL)

Another way that we could look at this is through the Gar-Rune which contains the Gyfu-Rune and Ing-Rune. If the Ing-Rune symbolises the Male-Stone and the Gyfu-Rune symbolises the Female Stone then Baphomet is symbolised by the Gar-Rune where the two crystals are united. This seems quite in line with the images portrayed by Richard Wagner whence Parsifal (The Pure Fool) plunges the Spear (Spear of Woden) into the Grail (Grail-Cup) which has clear sexual symbolism, whence the 'offspring' is 'The Emperor'. 

The Calc-Rune, at one level, represents the Age of Aquarius since it shows the Waters of Life being poured out upon the Earth. The Woden Initiates knew exactly what they were doing when they named this rune, even though the roots are Latin. It not only means 'cup', 'chalice' or 'cauldron' but also 'white' (calx = 'chalk' = 'white stone'). We have to use the Armanen System to see the next mystery, since the above is the Yr-Rune and when joined with the Eolhs-Rune becomes the 'Wending-Horn' or the 'Hagal-Rune' in its hex-form. This is Miguel Serrano's HE/SHE where the male-female are joined. Of course, his original Spanish Language version has a hidden meaning - EL/ELLA since this links to the sequence -

AL(U) - EL(U) - IL(U) - OL(U) - UL(U)

The Female Stone is the 'Black Stone' which has also been seen as a violet-coloured stone and thus the Amethyst. The name 'amethyst' has the root *medhu- related to 'honey' and to 'mead'. Here we can see the 'Holy Mead' hidden within the 'Mountain of Woden'. The Mead of Inspiration is gained by Woden from Gunnlod (The Female). Just as Marduk is the 'Protector of the Midnight Mountain' Woden has the self-same role. The Male-Stone is sometimes seen as the Green Stone (or Rock Crystal). The most famous of green stones is the Emerald Stone, and this is linked to Lucifer - the Morning Star. 

Gar-Il/Gar-Al = Male Stone.

Ilua = Female Stone.

In English Gematria (A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, etc.) the word H-O-P-E adds up to the Number 44. This, of course, is half of the Sacred 88 which symbolises HelgiH (H-H). The late David Lane (Wodensson) mentioned a very interesting use of English Gematria in that the first sentence of the Old Testament added to 44, and the last sentence of the New Testament added to 44, making the Number 88. This was, he said, 'The Beginning and the End - The First and the Last' relating to the Aryan Krist who was the 'offspring of David and the bright and Morning Star'. In a sense Sargon is the 'Beginning and the End - the First and the Last', his last appearance being to revive the Empire of Light in the North. Sargon of Akkad was the original title of Sargon I, and Akkad is associated with Sumer, it was near modern day Baghdad. Nimrod's kingdom, in the beginning, was in the Land of Akkad. The last Akkadian King ruled with the Gutian King (King of the Goths?). There is some association between Nimrod - Sargon - Naram Sin. 

The Long Man of Wilmington

Eala Earendel Engla Beorhtast!

(Hail Earendel - Brightest of Stars!)

'And another Sargon is used to strike the decisive battle. Once the Water-Pitcher washes away the horrors the Ancestral Land (At-al-land/Thule) will shine with a Golden Lustre.' 

Runes, Postures & The Vril

I have mentioned before how the most ancient Empires of Light are closely connected to the Germanic Folk; it would also seem that the Germanic Runes are symbols of certain ancient stances/postures, most of which can be found in the areas where these Empires of Light were created. 

Here we see Ahura Mazda (Iranian) holding the runic stance OS; this seems to be symbolic fo the High God. Here he is shown holding a Ring of Power, but in other versions, and that of the god Ashur, we find the figure holding a Ring of Power and Rod of Authority/Justice. The symbolism here is of the Winged Globe.

Here we see Ea, a Sumerian God, in the AC stance; he holds the 'pail' which I have mentioned in other posts. 

Again, this is the god Enki, again shown in the AC stance. 

This the the goddess Taimat, again shown in the AC stance. 

Above is the Sumerian Goddess Inanna, whose name is so close to the Norse Nanna as to be obviously linked. She stands upon Two Cats with Two Owls beside her, and hold the CWEORTH stance. She holds a Rod and Ring in her left hand. 

One thing that stands out clearly here is that every one of these stances can be found only in the English Rune-Row. None of the above rune-shapes can be found in the Elder Futhark. 

I have shown in previous posts how the Peorth-Rune is a stance used by players of Taefl. This one does appear in the Elder Futhark. It would seem that the playing of Taefl is a kind of 'portal' or 'gateway' to the 'Game of the Gods'. You can see from below that the player on the right holds a Drinking Horn, which suggests that what they are doing is no mundane 'game' but is a Sacred Ritual where the 'Game of the Gods' is played. This again suggests that the players are 'possessed' by a god-force, thus moving the pieces through the Will of Woden. 

The Cweorth-Stance can be found in the various 'Dancing Warriors' from Scandinavia and here in England. This is the stance found in the Long Man of Wilmington and the Cerne Giant. It can also be found in the figure of Shiva.

In regard to the Os-Rune and the stances connected to this rune, this seems to justify the difference given to this rune and its counterpart in the Elder Furthark. The Woden Initiates here in England replaced the AEsc-Rune with the Os-Rune, because this is the Rune of Woden, the Rune of Kingship. This seems clear when we recognise the symbols associated with this rune-stance, the Rod and the Ring. The ring is the Ring of Power which Woden possesses - Draupnir - and the rod is the Rod of Rulership since in some depictions of this stance the rod is marked like a 'ruler'. The IE Root *reg- means 'to move in a straight line', hence why the ruler is linked to a 'ruler'; he is the one who is responsible for the Sacred Measurement of the Land. 'To move in a straight line' also hints at his ability to move into other worlds, especially the Ancestral Worlds. 

The term Os or As refers to a god, to a divine being; it is also connected to the idea of the Sacred Centre or World Pillar. This is why the gods live in As-Gard which is the 'As-Yard' or 'Yard of the AEsir-Gods'. 

The AEsc-Rune was then placed in the Fourth AEttir as the Rune of the Ancestors, or the Rune of the First Man/Primal Ancestor (Askr). Bede used the term AEscingas for the line of Hengest and Horsa, whereas the usual form is Oiskingas. Maybe he was not wrong at all over this since the two names are merely variations of each other. Since Woden is the 'Divine Ancestor' of our Folk he is given the title Oski/Osci or AEsc. The two runes are thus interconnected and one must be studied in the light of the other. 

The Os-Rune

This rune can also represent a 'banner' or 'flag' flying in the wind; the banner/flag is a symbol which actually represents the tribe/clan - which is the tribe/clan. This is why it is held next to the king, and guarded with the life of its bearer and guardians. It is a Sacred Symbol. 

Another interesting symbolism lies in the Vril Symbol of the Vril Society which is said to have existed in Germany before World War II. The symbol, as I have said before, can be seen in the light of a Chinese figure called 'Monkey holding the Peach', a clear symbolism of the Fruit of Immortality. But when we analyse this symbolism we find three clear points -

• The left side is black which suggests the Dark Age that we are living through today; it could also suggest the Black Sun which is the 'Hidden Sun' today.
• The glyph has been said to be a 'Lightning-Bolt' which is hurled into the darkness; this 'Lightning-Bolt' is set between the black and the violet, but with the lower 'arm' in the purple only. 
• The violet section seems to hint at the Black Sun which is often said to give off a violet light. 

In The Lost World of Agharti by Alec Maclellan we find what he says is a description of Vril-Power held in secret documents which 'once belonged to initiates of the German Vril Society'. In fact, this also appears in an earlier work by Robert Charroux. Whatever the source of this, I feel that this matters less than the actual details - judge for yourselves.

The Scientific Way -

• Chemically isolate the particles of Proton A1 which are contained in lead. 
• These must be 'captured in the photonic magnetism of Saturn or else in lava which has issued from an active volcano.
• Under the effect of the radiations obtained from the process, 'the male sex glands activate all the Korlos and confirm the ego in its physical centre of gravity'.
• Vril-Power is thus activated.

That is just about as 'clear as mud' as you can get! But, there are certain points here that give clues to the meaning of this -

• Lead - the Metal of Saturn.
• 'Magnetism of Saturn' - the 'lava', when seen in the light of the next section on the 'male sex glands' could well be symbolic of the male ejaculation.
• Seems the whole thing was based upon some form of Sex-Magic Ritual that awakens the Vril-Force. 

The Mystic Way -

• Performed before a mandala of Shambhalla, as the world-centre of Agharti.
• The adept should be 'bathed in a violet-coloured light made by an Amethyst, with the sound-vibrations of the Letter K endlessly repeated'. 
• The power can be more easily obtained if the Sign of Saturn is present as well as the Egyptian Ankh.
• During the ritual the adept will 'effect a symbolic regression of life', after which the Vril-Power will be readily available.

Once again this is far from clear, but Occult Adepts always have to put down these secrets in code so that non-initiates cannot use them and abuse their powers. The 'violet-coloured light made by an amethyst' (*) is the colour of the Vril-Symbol but it seems that the amethyst is used as a vibratory-power to stimulate the Third Eye. Add to this the 'Letter K' which may well represent the Ken-Rune, Rune of the Fire-Serpent, and it is clear that this technique uses sound vibrations that include rune-gealdor. Again, the 'Sign of Saturn' is used here suggesting some form of alchemical transformation from 'Lead' to 'Gold'.

(*) The key to these mysteries lies in the name 'amethyst' which is not an arbitrary name, but one obviously related to its vibrational properties. It stems from the IE Root *medhu- which means 'honey', or in particular 'mead' as the word itself suggests. It would seem quite obvious that the mead that we drink is but a pale symbolism of a much deeper and profound concept, and that is the 'honey-taste' that has been linked to yogis who put their tongue to the back of the throat after intense meditation, thus 'collecting' this. It would appear that this may be linked to the secretion of DMT which is a mind-altering chemical whose make-up is similar to serotonin and melatonin which is produced from the Pineal Gland. This is the reason why in later times, when these psychic powers were lost in our Folk, certain mind-altering herbs were used as a substitute for these lost powers. Certain people who have a better ability to achieve higher states of consciousness can do so without these drugs. 

The similarity between the Vril-Symbol and the Peorth-Rune is very noticeable, and the meaning of a 'portal' or 'gateway' must again be significant -

In one of his writings the infamous Aleister Crowley mentioned a parchment found on his person having the form VRIHL on it. He suggested that the meaning given to this was a psycho-sexual method by which communication with 'extra-terrestrial powers' could be made. Of course, if we use the term 'extra-dimensional powers' this makes more sense. But here the links come together again -

• Psycho-Sexual Magical Workings.
• Vril-Vrihl.
• The Third Eye/Pineal Gland.
• Communication between Man and the Gods or Ancestors.

Of course, the term 'Vril' most likely stems from 'virile' which suggests a male-orientated force. The term vira comes from this, usually meaning 'man', but in particular a 'hero'. Looking at the Peorth-Rune Stance again, used at the Taefl-Board, the drinking-horn would link to 'mead' and thus suggests that the game itself was used as a form of intense concentration producing altered states of consciousness. As I have stated before, many modern versions of Taefl are a game where the participants have to use their own ability to make the moves; in eld-times the game was played with dice and thus 'chance' was the major factor. 

One of the keys to these mysteries is the violet-purple light emitted from the amethyst. These mysteries are also held in the Gar-Rune and the Graal-Runes of the Ar-Kan Runes. 

The male-female ILU-Forces join together in the figure of Baphomet and as shown here are associated with Venus and the Black Sun (the eight-pointed stars shown at the base and crown). This produces the ILUHE-Force which is the primal power (Ur-Il = Vril). This is found in the Ilu-Ishtar texts where these are clearly associated with Ishtar-Eostra - Venus. 

ALU-ULA - The GAR-IL (Male Force) moves downwards from the ANSUZ-CENTRE (Odroerir) along the Serpent Column, through the LAGU-CENTRE (Son), down to the URUZ-CENTRE (Bodn) where the Sleeping-Goddess lies under her White Wolf-Skin. Through the Power of the Black Sun the Sleeping-Goddess (ILUA) is awoken and she arises from the URUZ-CENTRE (Bodn), moves upwards along the Serpent-Column, through the LAGU-CENTRE (Son), and thus to the ANSUZ-CENTRE (Odroerir) where the 'Eye of Woden' is awoken as the Woden Initiate is 'bathed in a sea of ultra-violet/purple rays'.
