Ar-Kan Form

This form has been adapted from Hakutsuru ('White Crane') which forms part of the Bushi-Te-Ryu which is an Okinawan-te (hand techniques). Of course, here we see the Cweorth-Stance forming the basis of this form. 

The point of this type of exercise is to focus the concentration whilst at the same time making slow, careful moves. There are always varied interpretations as to what each move means but this is one set of interpretations -

• The Cweorth-Stance (Crane-Stance) could be used to push away the arms of someone trying to grab you by the throat; this pushed upwards and outwards.
• From this a five-finger strike is done aimed at the solar-plexus area of the body, which is soft but is a painful blow (can be deadly so be careful). This is the area just below the ribs in the centre.
• The two-handed upward sweep would be to stop punches to the head. Palm strikes can be seen in the 'pushes'. 

These are just ideas, since forms are always seen differently by different styles and individuals. Of course, the main aim for us is the concentration and the slow, rhythmic movement. 

The Unknowable & The Manifested God

 

The Armanen Master, Guido von List, considers that the Urfyr (Primal Fire) is the 'First and the Last' which manifests at the beginning as Creation and at the end as Destruction. He thus equates this to Surtur or Surt - 'The Dark One'. This is in fact quite in line with ancient Aryan Mythology where the Highest Heaven is associated with Fire. S-Ur-T-Ur is the Unknowable God who manifests as Santur - the Black Sun. The Unknowable God is 'All-Father' also named 'Ilu-Father' or 'Alu-Father' as I have shown in earlier posts either here or on the Inglinga Blog. In ancient Persian Lore the Unknowable God was Ahu, who manifests as Ahura Mazda; this would be cognate to the name Asu. I believe that in Sumer there is as word AL.U which means 'Beings of Heaven', so all of this refers to the Gods in the Highest Heaven, and above this to the 'All-Father' who manifests as Woden here amongst his Folk. 

This cosmology equates with one of the earliest Aryan Traditions, that of Iran and the teachings of the Holy Prophet Zarathustra. This cosmology is best seen in the work Manual of Hhshnoom which puts together the earlier traditions in order to create a working whole. The name AHU means 'It Is' which infers that this unknowable exists, indeed this is the Being mentioned by Julius Evola; this Unknowable God thus manifests as Becoming and thus brings into being Wyrd and the Sisters of Wyrd. The Vedic version of AHU is called KA which means 'Who', meaning the Unknowable. 

It is made clear in the Manual of Khshnoom that Miguel Serrano's HE/SHE (EL/ELLA) features in this work as the 'one perfected whole soul' where the male soul finds his female soul and they unite as one perfected Asexual Soul called MAGAVAN. United and yet separated, since they can never be the same as the original man-woman; this is most likely symbolised by the figure of Baphomet as a male-female head (not the Eliphas Levi version which glorifies the 'fusion of opposites'). I recall a very strange dream many years ago that I had after watching the film Artemis 81 (thus I assume it was 1981) in which I was given a new symbol - a Five Pointed Star (Pentagram) on which was imposed a Sig-Rune. The five-pointed star was 'man asexual' and the Sig-Rune meant 'Socialism'.

(*) I looked this up and Artemis 81 was a very strange TV play which lasted 180 minutes (3 hours) on December 29th 1981, starring Sting who played the Good-Force (Helith) pitted against the Evil-Force (Asrael - his brother). Back in 1981 I would have been 33 years old and I cannot recall what this is about; it can be found on YouTube in its full version I think.

As an aside here, the pentagram is symbolic of the Morning and Evening Star - Venus, which creates this pattern in its movement around the Sun. It is interesting to note that there were Four Great Emblems of the most secret book of Divine Wisdom of the Magi -

• The Pentacle.
• The Cup.
• The Wand.
• The Sword.

These objects are the four sets of the Tarot Cards, suggesting these originated in Iran with the Magi. We should note here that it was the 'Three Magi' who journeyed to Israel to herald the birth of Krist (even if this did not take place in Israel the connection is important). 

The figure of the Last Avatar carrying a Flaming Sword cannot but remind us of Surt who carries a Flaming Sword; it is Surt's Fire that cleanses and renews the worlds, ridding them of the Evil-Forces, as related of Kalki Avatar and The Third Sargon. This would suggest that the High God intervenes at the end to destroy the Evil Forces, and that this is all part of a Divine Plan. 

The Cweorth-Rune has the alternative name 'TRIS' which is 'SIRT' spelled backwards. If we take the Long Man of Wilmington and its shape, the Cweorth-Rune, to be that of Cygnus the Swan, it becomes clearer because the Swan is the symbol of the Highest Spiritual Realms - SWAR. 

Taking this from a work by AElfric Avery - Armanen Runes and the Black Sun (Volume 1) which takes it from the Manual of Khshnoom and rearranges the Nine Worlds in the Eddas into a logical order and equates them with the Aryan Lore of Iran we have the following -

Vidblain ('Wide-Dark')/Garo-nmana

Andlang ('Extended') - Anaghra-Raocha.

Vindblain ('Wind-Dark') Heidthornir ('Clouded Brightness') Hregg-Mimir ('Storm-Mimir') - Saturn.

Vidfedmir ('Wide-Embracer') - Jupiter.

Hrjod ('Coverer') - Mars.

Hlyrnir ('Twin-Lit') - Sun.

Gimir ('Fiery', 'Jewelled')- Venus.

Vet Mimir ('Winter-Mimir') - Mercury.

Skatyrnir ('Rich-Wetter') - Moon.

This assumes that Snorri reversed the Nine-Worlds, which is certainly not out of the question since his works have been seen to be suspect in certain parts. In many ways, being a Christian, he may well have misunderstood the Eddas and their hidden meanings. In this cosmology Garo-nmana is the realm of the Unknowable God (S-Ur-T-Ur in Listian Lore). Below this is Anaghra Raocha where lies the Heavenly Mt. Alborz (Mt Meru). Below this is Nisti (Space) and then the Earthly Plane with Airyana Vaeja at the Far North with the Earthly Mt. Alborz/Ultima Thule. This is the cosmology from the Manual of Khshnoom. In this Cosmic Fire plays an initial role.

This Cosmic Creative Fire originates in the Abode of Ahu in the Ninth Heaven, and is called Atar related to the Fehu-Rune as the 'Primal Rune'. The Urvans are the Imperfect Souls ('the soul that needs to widen itself out') who descend into matter (The Exodus) and into the Material World (Earth) in order that they may try to perfect themselves once more and ascend through the realms once again through their Spiritual Evolution. It thus becomes clear that the Dark Forces or Forces of Evil are involuntarily doing the work of the High God (All-Father) in order that these Imperfect Souls can try to perfect themselves here on Earth. This is how Tolkien saw it where Melkor (The Dark Force) was unwittingly doing the work of Illuvater ('Ilu-Father'). 

In fact, Tolkien puts this into a rather important perspective in that the Music of the Ainur was complete and perfect, but a chaotic and imperfect 'music' was introduced by Melkor. The latter's was actually part of the Divine Plan even though not known by Melkor. This is where the Veras or Divine Heroes are the ones who can elevate themselves above the mass of people to take the upward stage od Spiritual Evolution. They have to search and find their Female Soul in order to 'unite' as HE/SHE (MAGAVAN) but not returning to 'The One' but in separation-in-unity. This is where the term 'Soul-Mates' is made meaningful, a term today totally corrupted by the Forces of Evil (which is something that underlies every tactic of the Demiurge, everything is a false copy of that which is Right and True). 

The Black Sun is thus Santur, the manifestation of the Unknowable God S-Ur-T-Ur; it is thus the 'Gateway' or 'Portal' to the Unknowable God and to the Highest Realm. The Unknowable God thus expands into the material world as Woden-Kristos, and thus leads the revolt against the Demiurge as the Spirit descended into Matter. "We are destined for the starry heavens, and the Golem can thwart God's plan only as long as he allows it. He allows it because we must earn our way back home." (Joe Sevnson).

The True Crucifixion refers to the descent of Spirit into Matter; the 'Son' is the messenger who works between the Spiritual and Material worlds. He brings spirit and consciousness into the material world which has been created and corrupted by the Demiurge. The Light Power is the Indo-European *Manus whose 'evil twin' is thus *Yemos who is Ymir of the Eddas, and Yama of the Vedas. Ymir is of the Evil Thursar-Joten, and he is sacrificed and cut up to form the Cosmos. This infers that this is in fact imperfect in its make-up.

The Yr-Rune is shaped as the Calc-Rune in the Armanen Futhork, and this rune is sometimes seen in the light of 'to err' or 'an error'. This may not be far from the truth since the Yr-Rune could represent Ymir at one level (and there are many levels), and the sound YM (OM/AUM). (*) This can also represent the Yr-Min-Sul which may be a symbol of the High-God. The Armanen Runes would thus have the Man-Rune as Manus and the Yr-Rune as Yemos, which certainly reveals the truth in this rune-system of Guido von List. The 'Light Twin' (Manus) and the 'Dark Twin' thus at times share similar archetypes and this is why it is so hard sometimes to understand one from the other. The two 'unite' in the Hagal-Rune -

(*) This idea brings into question the meaning of the 'OM' chant which has been used by so many distortions such as the 'New Agers'. Also, the Christian 'Amen', which has been likened to 'OM' by some modern scholars, is A-Men, where 'A' is a negation, thus 'Not-Men', and where 'Men' may well be 'Manus'. This is probably a usage of the term as a negation.

The Irminsul or Yr-Min-Sul can thus be seen in a different light, since it is a glyph of the Cweorth-Rune and Ear-Rune -

• As the Ar-Man-Sul it is the 'Sun-Column of the Ar-Man'; Irmin or Ir is thus the High-God, or highest manifestation of God - Ar (Black Sun). 
• As the Yr-Man-Sul it is the column of the 'Err-Man', the Imperfect Man who has to strive towards the Spiritual Being he once was, and has 'erred' in that he has fallen into matter. 
• The image of the Kristos who is 'crucified' upon the World Tree (Iggdrasil-Irminsul) is thus the Spirit 'crucified' in Matter, come down in order to redeem the Imperfect Ones (not the 'sinners' as in Judaeo-Christianity). This is the Ear-Rune of the 'Hanged God', whilst the Cweorth-Rune is the 'Crowned and Conquering Son' (The Hero). 

The Sumerian Illu-Ishtar speaks of the Black Sun -

"...the god Bab-Chomet placed in the new universe

the Black Sun, which no-one can see with earthly eyes.

It is the source of god's power in this world:

around them is all. Thus the world-age was determined.'

Here the name 'Bab-Chomet' is referred to as a 'god' and that he placed the Black Sun in the manifested universe as the source of his power in this world. This also determines a 'world-age'. I have likened 'Bab-Chomet', or 'Bab-Komet' as it is sometimes spelled, as the Hale-Bopp Comet, and noted that this was a very strange phenomena back in 1997. This certainly determined 'the world-age' at this time, being the herald of the New Age. The term Bab-Chomet means -

• 'Bab' = Gateway or Portal,
• 'Kome' = Ray of Light.

The suggestion here is that 'Bab-Komet' is actually the gateway or portal through which the Unknowable God moves in order to become the Black Sun, which is the Manifested God. The 'High Race' are thus the Sons of the Black Sun or the Sons of God. As this power waned here on Earth, with the growing power of the Golden Sun, the Shining Ones (ASU) lost their long life and spiritual powers and became the Arya who were obviously inferior to the ASU, but were the 'Race of Hope' in that they still possessed the "Power of the Black Sun" even though this worked at a spiritual level. 

AElfric Avery mentions that the power that originates from the Ahu (Unkowable God) is the Vril-Force, associated with Kundalini - the Fire-Serpent. In Iran this was called Atar which means 'Spiritual Fire', and the Vedic equivalent to Atar would be Agni. It can thus be seen that we have to see yet another importance of the god Ingwe, the equivalent of Agni of the Vedas. The term atar stems from the IE Root *ater- meaning 'black' or 'blackened by fire', likely related to the Vedic atharva and atharvan ('Priest'). The IE Root *at- means 'over', 'beyond', or 'super' and ar is the Black Sun. 

Ingwe is 'The Son' who manifests as the Spiritual Fire upon Earth; he is the 'Divine Spark' within all matter, the 'Son of the Father'. Ingwe is the Serpent-Fire and he is 'The Beginning and the End', or 'The First and the Last'. As the 'Lord of the Elves' he comes from the Second Heaven which is below the AHU, and he moves between the worlds, running up and down the World Tree between the Serpent (Earth) and the Eagle (Heaven). As Guido von List says, this 'fire' is really 'warmth' which is that which creates movement and is thus Energy and Power.  

Folkish Wodenism recognises these concepts, although they are rejected by most Odinists who go with a polytheism that rejects a 'God' as the 'High-One'; our 'gods' (AESIR) are our Racial Gods, but we recognise a High-God named Ilu-Father, All-Father, or Alu-Father. He resides in the Highest Heaven, above the Realm of the Gods and the Realm of the Elves. Woden like other Aryan Gods, becomes the High God in the sense that he can gain knowledge and wisdom and return to the Highest Heaven with this. 'I and the Father are One'. 

Raising the Stang

 

The Wolf-Hook Rune is the Rune of Resistance and was used in the Peasant's War in Germany. This rune derives from the Eoh-Rune which seems obvious by the shape of the stave -

But there is perhaps a hidden meaning as to why this rune is used for 'resistance' or 'rebellion', or even 'revolution'. The Eoh-Rune is the 13th Rune and this number is actually related to 'revolt' and to 'revolution'. The rune-stave itself is clearly one of change, and when seen to 'revolve' upon itself it remains the same as it was originally. The Number 13 is used in Freemasonry as a symbol of 'revolution' because it comes from Genesis 14:4 -

'Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled'. 

Modern 'witchcraft' is an invention, probably starting around Gerald Gardner, but some parts of this still hold certain ancient secrets and ancient wisdom. There is a practice called Raising the Stang which, from its description, is the Germanic Art of Nithing, or Raising the Nithing-Pole. This aspect of magic, a Cursing-Magic, can be found in Norse Sagas. The Nithing-Pole was a pole which usually had a Horse's Head placed on the top. 

Within some sections of modern 'witchcraft' the Stang is used to raise a storm (by the Storm-God, Woden), and this is an animal's head placed upon a pole. But their version has it that this is a 'Tool of the Devil'. However, when we note that 'The Devil' of the Christians was 'Old Nick' then this is clearly Woden who is Nicor (English) or Nikuda (Norse). In order to keep him for their own use he became 'St. Nicholas'. The Stang seems also to have been used to invoke a revolt against oppression, and part of the ritual was to drive a nail into the base of the pole in order to -

• To invoke forces from the 'Lower World',
• To invoke 'Serpentine Forces'.

Clearly, as the term Nithing implies, the force invoked here is the Nyd-Rune, which invokes the Serpentine Force (Nidhogg) from the 'Lower World' (Nid or 'Netherworld'). Interestingly, the Horse's Head is used for this, which seems to be a Sacred Animal which moves between the worlds. The Eoh-Rune is the Yew Tree, and the E(o)h-Rune is the Horse. The Yew-Tree (at one level) can be seen as Iggdrasil - the 'Steed of Igg'. Below is a 'Stang' which has a Ram's Horn on the top of it. 

The Stang

The nail driven into the base is also connected to the Need-Rune as the 'Nail of the Norn'. There are some interesting root-words that stem from the meaning of 'nail' -

IE Root *nogh- 'nail' or 'claw'.

IE Root *ongh- 'nail', 'claw', 'hoof'.

It would seem that this Nithing-Magic was linked to Woden as the Storm-God, and also no doubt as the One-Eyed Hunter God who leads the Army of the Dead. Could this magic be associate with raising the Army of the Dead, especially in times of tyranny and oppression? There are hints that the idea of the Raising of the Stang was associated with the 'Wild Army', and in a very vivid dream that I had some years ago the symbols of this (as a kind of 'parade') were of wolves, dogs, and other animals, as well as a 'jester' figure, and also a figure in black who was linked to justice. 

This Nithing-Magic comes from the ancient Art of Witchcraft in its purer form, even though this is more of a destructive type of magic. As with all things there are at times valid reasons to cause harm to others, just as there are just wars waged to gain freedom from oppression. Modern 'wicca' is based upon false principles, and that is that it is a revival of the 'Old Religion'. Whatever this actually refers to is not the point here, but Teutonic Witchcraft was long ago the subject of degeneration and distortion, a fact that Guido von List pointed out in one of his works. These people do not even know how to pronounce their own name 'wicca' which is not 'wicka' but 'witcha'. And since much of this is driven by modern feminism, the word is masculine, as opposed to the feminine 'wicce'. (Shows the influence of someone like Gardner here.)

Archetypal Myth shows clearly how the Ancient Solar Wisdom was stolen by the Dark Powers, and the Gods and Heroes had to regain this by stealing it back from them. This is why it is necessary to research these modern versions to sift out the true knowledge and reject the rubbish that abounds. This also goes of Freemasonry, another movement that stole the Ancient Mysteries. 

There is also a tradition that the Stang is an Ash-Pole upon which are metal 'prongs', like a pitch-fork. And the foot of the pole was shod with iron, or a shod hoof. Now, of course, the 'forked twig' or 'pitch-fork' could be linked to Woden as the Horned One, and certainly modern wiccans would link this to the 'Horned God'. They may well hold a dim remembrance of this, since the Ash-Pole here would be Iggdrasil (again at one level). The link between 'nail' and 'hoof' I have already mentioned, and since a source I looked at had no idea why iron was used (and concocted a silly story to try to show they did) this is the Nail of the Norns. Since it appears that the Stang can be found in drawings in museums and is clearly a pole with an animal's head then the Nithing-Pole seems to be the most likely origins of this symbol, and the 'pitch-fork' was a later version.

The use of the pitch-fork was known as Riding the Stang and this was in fact used within a parade whose purpose was to punish wrong-doers. This seems to have been perhaps a different meaning that developed from the Cursing-Pole because it was a form of justice and punishment meted out by a 'posse'. This, of course, featured in my dream of the 'Wild Army'. This actually suggests that the ideas around the 'Horned God' may be right in that this is Woden. Some suggest that this is placed in the centre of the circle as the 'World Tree', and in a sense they could be right because the pole joins the Upper-World - Earth - Under-World, and invokes the Underworld power of the Serpent. 

Number-Magic

"In the Days of the Lion, spawned of the Evil Brood, The Hooded Man shall come to the forest. There he will meet with Herne the Hunter - Lord of the Trees - to be his Son and do his bidding. The Power of Light and the Power of Darkness shall be strong within him. And the guilty shall tremble!"

The Hooded Man Prophecy - October 31st 1993.

This has been covered before, but here I need to use this as the best example of what I am saying in this post. This was a piece taken from the Robin of Sherwood series on British TV, but this is an altered version, and the alterations make clear that this prophecy is valid for our times. This piece has 58 Words and the altered sentence is 'The Power of Light and the Power of Darkness are strong within him' which was originally 'The Powers of Light and Darkness are strong within him'. This piece has 58 Letters. Using English Gematria where A = 1, B = 2, C = 3 etc. the Number 58 gives us the word ROBIN - 18 + 15 + 2 + 9 + 14. 'The Hooded Man' is 'Robin Hood'.

A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, D = 4, E = 5, F = 6, G = 7, H = 8, I = 9, J = 10, K = 11, L = 12, M = 13, N = 14, O = 15, P = 16, Q = 17, R = 18, S = 19, T = 20, U = 21, V = 22, W = 23, X = 24, Y = 25, Z = 26.

To show that English Gematria, which was earlier used by David Lane (Wodensson) in his Hermetic Writings, is valid we should consider that there are 26 Letters of the English Alphabet, and that the word GOD adds to 26. Thus - 'The All' is 'The One'. It is necessary to understand that the above prophecy only came to light after a dream in which the altered parts were emphasised by being repeated twice so that I remembered them clearly on waking. I came across the writings of David Lane after this and this triggered the idea that English Gematria was the key to this. I came about this via a totally different approach to this than its originator.

WID-AR = 23 + 9 + 4 + 1 + 18 = 55.

INGWE = 9 + 14 + 7 + 23 + 5 = 58 (= ROBIN). 

WODEN = 23 + 15 + 4 + 5 + 14 = 61.

HOPE = 8 + 15 + 16 + 5 = 44. ("The Beginning and the End - The First and the Last".) 

We can see here how using certain numbers we can 'empower' ritual work; Woden would use 61 words perhaps and Wid-Ar 55 words. That Sacred Numbers are effective can be seen in the Magic Number 88 related to HelgiH, which is also two Wyn-Runes face-to-face as the Man-Rune - Rune of the Manu. 

Manu-88

Resurrection of the Spirit 88

The term BAB-COMET (Sajaha Prophecies) which I have associated with the Hale-Bop Comet adds to 61, the number of WODEN. This is how any form of gematria works, through the numbers added together in one word adding to the same as another word, seemingly unrelated, which links the two together in a subtle way. 

ALU-ULA

The concept of The Three Cauldrons is used far less that the Seven Chakras but this is used within the Ar-Kan Rune-Lag System so I feel that it needs some more attention. In fact the three centres which stand upon the Spinal Column are the Three Centres of Human Consciousness -

Head-Centre (Odroerir - Ansuz) - This is the Centre of Intelligence, since we use the terms 'use your head', 'he's lost his head', or 'he's got his head screwed on' and other terms suggesting intelligence.

Heart-Centre (Son - Lagu) - This is the Centre of the Emotions since we use the terms 'with all my heart', 'he put his heart and soul into the work', 'his heart was not in the job', or 'a heart to heart discussion' etc.

Base-Centre (Bodn - Ur) - The Centre of the Instincts since we say 'he had a gut feeling', or 'he's got guts'. This centre is thus that of the human instincts, but it is also a centre of will and strength.

A Chinese Scientist who works with acupuncture has proven (it seems) that there is a link between the brain and the gut, and that the gut does have 'consciousness, and indeed acts as a 'brain'. What this acupuncturist did was to use points on the gut area and after doing so did an MRS Scan on the patient and this showed up as changes in the nerves in the brain. I believe that some scientists have also looked at consciousness in the heart too. So what is said here is not just conjecture.

The squirrel, Ratatosk, runs up and down the World Tree, as does the runic formula run up and down - ALU-ULA. The base centre - Bodn - can mean 'Earth' (boden is 'earth' in German); but there is another meaning we can get from Old English -

boedan - to proclaim,

bodian - to announce,

boda - messenger.

Ratatosk is the 'messenger' that runs up and down the World Tree between the Eagle at the top and the Serpent at the bottom. 

The Rad-Rune has a 'column' (I) which represents the Spinal Column in Man; the reverse Sig-Rune is the Fire-Serpent which moves upwards along the Spinal Column. This is the ascending Current of Energy - the Igneous Fire. The Rad-Rune is thus Rata-tosk which is the ascending-descending energy associated with the Fire-Serpent.

It would seem obvious that the Base-Centre - UR - is the 'Primal Centre' or the 'Source'. This is the Hara-Centre which stands at the centre of the human body, and thus the 'Point of Balance'. This area contains the Manipura Chakra which is associated with Ingwe (Agni), the Swastika (Force of Fire), the Ram, and the mantra 'RAM'. Below this is the 'Water-Centre', whence Ingwe arises - the Absu - thus 'Fire-from-Water'. The Fire-Serpent lies dormant in the waters below the World Column. The Ur-Rune is also connected to the concept of 'our' and thus to the idea of 'vast' and 'infinite'. 

The Sanskrit rasa means 'vital essence' and rasayana means 'Elexir of Life'; these are the Life-Force associated with the 'Sap' in plants and the 'Blood' in Man. Here we can see the link to the Ing-Rune because Ingwe is the 'Sap of the Plants' and also the 'Blood of Man', and the Ing-Rune is the 'Rune of the Blood'. 

The use of the Formula ALU-ULA suggests that this Magical Force (which is what this is) works in two different worlds simultaneously, or two different dimensions if you like a modern term. Of course, the AEsc-Rune is the Ancestral Rune, and the Os-Rune is the Rune of the Ancestral God (Woden), so we can also use the alternative OLU-ULO Formula which invokes the Ancestral God rather than the Ancestral Spirits. 

SWAR & SWEORTH

 

The term SWAR is the Vedic name for the highest heaven of the superconscious, the Realm of Pure Light and Truth. The Old English Sweorth means 'Sword' and in many Aryan Cultures this term referred to this Higher Consciousness. We have a clue to this in the meaning 'Ritual Fire' or 'Cremation Fire' since 'Fire' is 'Light' and the two terms are interchangeable. The Cweorth-Rune is the Sweorth-Rune, thus linking the Sword to Ritual Fire and to the Highest Light - the Sacred Flame of God. 

Hamasson has equated this rune with the Broken Sword, and there is reason to believe that he has stumbled upon something of extreme importance here. To understand this we have to go the the Vedas and to the Fire-God, Agni, who is none other than our own Ingus. Agni is associated with the Angirasa who have been called the Mythical Luminous Race. The Angirasa are -

The Powers of Light and the Flame,

Sons of the Flame,

The Recoverers of The Light,

The Bearers of the Divine Word.

The last of these - 'The Bearers of the Divine Word' - tells us that they are linked to 'The Word' and, as I will show, to the 'Broken Sword'. Here we have a subtle play on the terms 'Word' and 'S-word', where the 'S-Word' is the 'Sun-Word', the Word of Light. The 'Broken S-Word' is the 'Lost Word', the letter ng which is the basis of 'Ing' or 'Ingus'. This was broken into 'n' and 'g', whereas in the beginning this was one sound, one letter - broken by the Dark Powers in order to hide the Heildom behind the word. They did everything they could to destroy the roots of the English Folk and their being descended from the Luminous Race and their Divine Ancestor, Ingus. 

The Dark Forces ruled by the 'Lord of the Shadows' has done everything possible to hide the Higher Light from mankind, to create a wedge between our consciousness and the Highest State of Consciousness - SWAR. This is reached through the Gateway to Thule, since SWAR is not only connected to the 'Sun', as 'Higher Light' but also to the 'Swan', the Symbol of the Light of Truth. The Swan is the Symbol of Thule. 

Cweorth is related to the Latin name for for the Apple - quercus - and to the Celtic quert used in the Ogham. The Golden Apples of Immortality are for the Race of Heroes, guarded by the Goddess Idunn. It is from this Race of Heroes that Sigurd-Siegfried arises to wield the Broken Sword; it is from this Race of Heroes that Parsifal arises to wield the Spear of Woden. Parsifal is Sigurd reborn in order to complete this Archetypal Myth. 

The 'Word-Sword' in the Graal Mythos is related to the 'Broken Sword', and to the Well of Kunneware which is the source of the Magic Spring. Above the Sacred Well is a globe upon which sits a Dragon. The Dragon is the Guardian of the Well, and the 'globe' is a chakra. The sword withstands one blow, but is shattered by the second blow. It has to be taken back to the Spring (Well) where it will become whole again through the flow of water. This water at at source is below a grey rock before the light of day has shone upon it. 

Hidden within this piece is the source of the reforging of the Broken Sword, for the 'water' is the Absu/Apsu - the Waters of the Underworld. This is why this is done 'before the light of day has shone upon it'. The source of this reforging is not of this world, it is of the Other-World, and from there the Sacred Sword is manifested on Earth in physical form - as a Folk-Hero. The 'Word-Sword' has grown old, has atrophied and lost its ancient power; Only through discovering the Source of the Power can the Word-Sword be renewed - this source is held within the Other-World, the Inner Earth, and that source is the Black Sun. 

Ila - Primal Word of The Truth

The Sound of the Stars

 That the stars give off melodic sounds is quite well known today; we know that the composer, Holst, wrote themes connected to the stars and planets, and thus knew this concept well. What is not so well known is that our Anglo-Saxon Ancestors would also have known of this phenomena. As usual, we have no written records or details, and in this instance we will have to rely upon our English Word-Hoard to find the truth of the matter. 

The clue to this ancient knowledge lies in the Old English words related to the heavens -

radur - OS

rodor - OE

heofentungol - OE

rodortungol - OE

The clue here lies in the word tungol which means 'tongue' and relates to the idea of 'to quiver', or 'flicker'. The stars do 'quiver' or 'flicker' as we all can see, but the term 'tongue' suggests sound since this is the means we utter sounds from the mouth. It seems that this must refer to the 'Sound of the Stars', a phenomena known to our English Ancestors. 

The root of the words radur and rodor is *rad-, clearly connected to the Rad-Rune; in this instance it is connected to the 'Sound of the Stars'. We have the word 'radio' to tell us that this is indeed connected to sound, as well as movement and rhythm. 

Some people who have experienced 'OBEs' (out-of-body-experience) have stated that they hear sounds associated with different levels of consciousness attained during such an experience. Different 'spheres' have different melodies, it would seem. Music of some sort was used in ancient rituals, chanting, incantation, etc. There is also a subtle link between the idea of sound, rhythm, and measurement, as well as vibration and energy.
