Initiates of The White Stone

Following from At-al-land & The Book of Enoch on the Inglinga Blog I am going to continue the theme through a look at the Ar-Kan Runes, the system we use within Woden's Folk. This runic system derives from the Anglo-Frisian Rune-Row which was developed in Northumbria and Frisia, two areas on opposite sides of the Dogger Bank area where At-al-land once stood as a continent. Is it a coincidence that this rune-row is the only rune-row that has hidden within it the Mysteries of the White Stone?

Within this rune-row are the two consecutive runes Calc and Stan; these runes mean 'chalk' (white) and 'stone' making - White Stone. But this goes even further when we look at an alternative version of the Stan-Rune -

This is the rune-stave that I have decided to use now within the Ar-Kan Runes since it is important in that it does contain these Ancient Mysteries. The message here is clearly - The Stone of Ing - since we have the Stan-Rune ('stone') within which is the Ing-Rune. It contains far more runes than this, which I have outlined before in another blog, but I will look at some of these here -

• The Man-Rune and its reflection - thus the secret is held within Aryan Man which is the true meaning of 'Man'. 
• The Eh-Rune and its reflection, together with the Germanic Ing-Rune at the centre; this represents Hengest and Horsa - the Horse Twins - and the White Horse Stone which is the 'Birthplace of the English Nation'. The White Horse Stone is also called the 'Inga-Stone', it is also symbolic of the 'Stone of Ing'.
• Two Beorc-Runes facing each other, symbolic of regeneration, resurrection and the Dawn-Time. 
• The rune-stave contains the Sword of Ing within the Stone; this comes through into the Arthurian Legend (Legend of Arctur which is the original Hyperborean Legend associated with Arcturus and Bootes). 
• There are twin Lagu-Runes and their reflection; these represent the waters ('Lac') where the Broken Sword is taken to be mended by the Sun-Hero, Sigurd. 
• Two Wyn-Runes and their reflection - the Wyn-Rune being symbolic of Venus, and twinning them being the Mystery 88. 
• The essence of this rune is harmony, bit also the idea of a 'reflection' from one world into another. 'That which is above is like that which is below'. The Daeg-Rune and its reflection suggest the reflection of the Heavenly Light into an Earthly Light. 
• The Ing-Rune is the Kan-Fusion version as opposed to the Ur-Fusion in the Gar-Rune - a very subtle but important difference. The Kan-Rune is the Rune of Fire, the Rune of the Serpent, the Rune of the Khan. 

One of the tactics used by the Counter-Initiation is to break the Eternal Chain that links us to our Ancestors; this is where the 'Celtic' stuff comes into play because it breaks up the link between the English Tribes and the Germano-Celts who already dwelt here in these islands. The Thule Mysteries which were already present in these islands was taken up and incorporated into the Old English Runes, especially the 33 runes of the Anglo-Frisian Futhork. These were, as we have seen, the Mysteries of the White Stone - the lapis exilis or 'Stone of the Exiles', i.e. the Divine Race 'exiled' from their Original Homeland of Thule-Hyperborea after the 'Racial Sin' and the catastrophe that followed this. Wherever the 'exiles' moved they took with them the 'White Stone' - the Blood Memory or the Memory of Ing. 

The Armanen have been traced through the history of Germany; the Saxon High God was Irmin, Ermin or Arman, whose name was drafted onto one of the main trunk-roads of England-Scotland - Ermine Street. Ireland or Erin both contain the roots Ir or Er, and the latter was said to stem from 'Aryan'. This was the 'Land of the Arya'. Like the Armanen the Initiates of the White Stone seem to have been a Druidic Priesthood, more of a Hidden Order really; they passed their secrets down through the Holy Runes and the Tree Alphabet (Ogham, which is more of a code than a Magical Alphabet). The Initiates of the White Stone would have been the survivors of the sinking of At-al-land; the stone circles, cairns and cromlechs must have been built in very ancient times, disused for some time and then reused once more by the descendants of the builders in order to revive the Ancient Mysteries.

From what we know it would seem that when these islands were isolated somewhat they developed their own unique system to preserve the Ancient Mysteries and that those who did so were associated with the White Stone. This was symbolic of the 'Blood Memory' and also of 'The Pure' ( a name later given to the Cathars). The drawing of the Sword from the Stone may be, at one level, symbolic of the gaining of the Ancient Wisdom from the White Stone. 

The Four Hallows - Cweorth (Sword), Calc (Cup/Chalice/Cauldron), Stan (Stone) and Gar (Spear) - have an interesting sequence. The first and the last - Cweorth (Sword) and Gar (Spear) are the weapons associated with the Graal Mythos, whilst the two central runes - Calc (Cup) and Stan (Stone) represent the Graal itself in its two different versions. We can see that the Calc-Stan sequence means 'White Stone' and this represents the Sang Real or 'Regal Blood' and thus the 'Blood Memory'. The 'Gift of Ing' is the Blood Memory. 

I mentioned Newgrange in the last Inglinga post and its connection with Ingwe as AEngus; another title of AEngus is Macc Oc or Macc Og, the 'mac' meaning the same as 'ing' - 'son of'. This AEngus is the 'Son of Og' or 'Son of Ygg' which is significant. In the Irish tale The wooing of Etain we find this tale and a significant part where the foster-father of Macc Oc, Midir, loses an eye. One of the main legends of Macc Oc directly parallels the wooing of Gerda by Ingvi-Frey. A figure known as Ingcel appears in an Irish Legend about the Midwinter; he is described as a one-eyed warrior. These tales about a ritual death at midwinter where the main character is engulfed in flames and dies in the feasting-hall can be seen as Archetypal Myth. The death of the Wotanist - Robert Matthews - clearly fits this Aryan Myth. 

The myth mentioned above can be found in both Celtic and Germanic Mythology, and are thus Germano-Celtic Mythology, both peoples being the same Germanic stock. The following can be found in Snorri's Ynglingatal -

• King Visbur's sons burn him in his hall.
• Solvi burns King Eistyn in his hall.
• King Ingjald burns six district kins in his hall.
• King Ingjald burns King Granmar and King Hjorvarth in their hall.
• King Ingjald and his daughter burn themselves in their hall.

The Ynglingatal is the 'Tally of the Inglingas' and it is through these Northern European people - the 'Sons of Ing' - that these stories have come down to us. We can find confirmation in the figure of Robert Matthews whose own archetypal myth fits with the Midwinter Tale - the burning of the hero within the dwelling-place. The Middle-English tale of Gawain & The Green Knight stems from the saga of CuChulainn where the 'Beheading Game' is played; and this itself is the Myth of Odin and Mimir, where Odin cuts off the head of Mimir ('memory') in the same 'Beheading Game'. This is Germanic Myth throughout, and the essential link between the different areas and these legends is - Ingwe, AEngus, the Inglingas and the White Stone which represents the Ancient Mysteries of At-al-land and the Blood Memory. 

In The Lay of Hyndla found in the Poetic Edda we find the following verses -

'A Skjolding who, a Skilfing who,

(An Othling who), an Ylfing who...'

and later -

'Thence the Skjoldungs, thence the Skilfings,

Thence the Othlings, thence the Ynglings...'

These names are related by the scop telling the genealogy of Ottar; the names 'Ylfing' ('Wulfingas') and 'Yngling' seem to be interchangeable - the Wulfingas and Inglingas being the same people, or at least the Wulfingas are Inglingas. The basis of the Ingwaeones is Sacral Kingship where the Sacral King is the 'Son of the Mother'. This seems to be associated with the Waene-Cults and is very ancient in Northern Europe; scholars have misunderstood these peoples as being 'Celtic' and thus the 'original' peoples of Europe, whereas the Myth of the First War may well contain hints that the Waene warred with the AEsir from the East and these peoples fused together as the Germanic Folk. This is perhaps one understanding of the myth.

The true founding of the Folk-Nation of the English only came about through the West Saxons who traced their lineage back to Woden, and even further back to Scef-Ing. I have mentioned throughout this of a Hidden Order of Initiates such as the Armanen which surface again and again at important times in order to guide their Folk and alter the course of their history - thus guiding their unique evolution. It is thus significant that the area of the West Saxons was held by peoples known as the Gewisse and Hwicce, both names meaning Wise Ones. Names are not given for nothing, and always have a meaning to them, and the name Wise Ones suggest 'seers' and 'philosopher-priests' who hold the keys to the Ancient Mysteries. In the porch of the Sussex church dedicated to Andrew and Cuthman we find a 'tombstone' said to be that of AEthelwulf, father of King Alfred which has two 'Templar-Crosses' on it. The West Saxons must have had some links to the area of Steyning.

The 'Gift of Ing' is the Sacred Blood and the Blood Memory, but it is also Sacral Kingship - the Line of the Sang Real. This seems abundantly clear from the 'Gift of Ing' as Ken - the Rune of the Khan, the Rune of Sacral Kingship. The 'stone' has always been associated with kingship, as seen through the following -

• The Rightful King has to take the Sword from the Stone.
• The 'Stone of Destiny' which sounds when the Rightful King is crowned.
• The King's Stone found at Kingston in Surrey, where the English Kings were crowned. 

The Sacral King is the 'Son of the Mother', hence why the 'Mother' image has been suppressed over the ages, thus hiding the true nature of Sacral Kingship. Frey and Freya are brother and sister, but also husband and wife; this is always connected to Sacral Kingship. This is also associated with the Morning Star - Venus - and to the Waene/Vanir-Gods. The 'fertility' element is connected to both Man and the Land, one being linked to the other in the Mystical Link between Blood and Soil. 

It is certain from all accounts that these Ancient Mysteries were passed into the growing Christian Church, a ploy, no doubt, that was made in order to hide them from destruction. They could hardly be destroyed when they were part of the new order; they were held safely since the Christian Church did not possess the keys to these Mysteries. It is the 'keys' that open the doors to wisdom; this is perhaps where Peter comes in, for he has the 'Keys to Heaven'. It cannot be coincidence that his name means 'rock' or 'stone'. 

Sacral Kingship was something that needs to be understood, and this can be done through looking at Frey and Gerdr. Frey is the God, Gerdr the Earth - a Giantess. This is important since the Sacral King seen in many cases through the Northlands is married to a Giantess, thus creating the fusion of Order and Chaos, though he is really neither. Woden has the giantess Grid, from whom we get Wid-Ar. The Sacral King, as shown through Ingvi-Frey, is married to the land, known as 'Sovereign' in some cases. The land, the king and the people are one and the same - a harmonious wholeness. The Sacral King was initiated into the Hidden Knowledge, the Ancient Wisdom, and was thus a 'Seer'. The Sacral Kingship depended upon konigheil or 'The King's Luck' which was the heil and maegen held by the King. This is a very ancient concept since it fuses the roles of Priest (Woden) and King (Tiw). They were also attributed 'supernatural powers'. 

One of the best examples of such are the Merovingian Kings who originated in the Sigambrian Franks, and were clearly the Wolsungas of Germanic Mythology. They were 'sorcerer-kings' with 'healing powers' and their tribal symbol was the Tribal Spear - the Spear of Woden. Crystal balls and other such magical objects were found in their graves. We find this to be so with King Raedwald of the Wuffingas whose ship-grave had magical objects such as a Whetstone and a Magical Wand with a wolf's head, as well as other objects that could be related to magic. 

We are far from totally understanding the nature of the 'White Stone' and the Hidden Order of Initiates, nor the whole of the links between these ideas. Somewhere there is a 'missing link' waiting to be found; the key lies in Ingwe as the Divine Ancestor of the English and his association with At-al-land and the 'Shining Ones'. It also lies in the 'Blood Memory' which is our dearest possession, as the Armanen knew and did not tire of telling us. The 'Blood Memory' is not only diluted through mixing, but also distorted through differing Race-Memories through this mixing, a far more dangerous thing since it introduces falsehoods into the Racial make-up. 

One of the enduring legends of these islands is 'King Arthur', a figure who has been used and distorted over and over again. He is most certainly linked to the English originally when we consider him as Arctur, associated with Arcturus in Bootes. He is originally part of the most ancient Polar Mythos connected to the Great Bear ('Arth Fawr') and to Draco (Pendragon = 'Head of the Dragon'). The Seven Stars of the Great Bear and the Seven Stations of the Pole Star relate to his original Hyperborean Myth. With the changes that occur through the Cycle of the Ages he became part of the Solar Mythos where the Twelve Knights of the Round Table, plus Arthur, make up the 12 + 1 numerology of the Solar Mythos. The first is Hyperborean and the second Atlantean. With Arthur (Ar-Thor) we find the Sword in the Stone, but we also see him as the vital link between the Hyperborea and Atlantean Mythos. 

Arthur, in some sense, is the continuation of this, the link between the First Polar Centre and the Second Atlantean Centre, the shift from the North to the North-West. Yet, when we consider this figure from that point of view, and not the Christian Arthur of Welsh Legends, then we peel away the outer skin to find Scef-Ing or Ingwe. Ingwe forms the link between the Polar Mythos (as Scef he clearly comes at the end of a Golden Age), and the Atlantean Mythos (as At-al-land). Although Arthur has been heavily promoted, and used over and over again for the agenda of power-hungry tyrants, the figure of Ingwe appears over and over again throughout these islands as a kind of 'Hidden God'. As much as scholars try to create a human figure out of Ingwe or Ingvi-Frey, underlying this is a Divine Hero whose origins lie with the Gods. In fact he is one of the 'Shining Ones' who were probably demi-gods, but their origins laying with the Gods who mated with Man. 

Scef originated in Scandi - the 'Shining Island' or the 'Isle of Splendour' - which was the White Island of Aryan Myth. He came at the end of a Golden Age, bringing hunting and agriculture to the Ingwaenes. He appeared in a dragon-ship or swan-ship (most see the latter as being the true  vessel), with the Sun-Disc on its sails. His 'resurrection' happened on August 11th 1999 when the Solar Eclipse brought back to life the 'King of the Angles'. Connected to Bootes he is 'The Coming One', and here we see his 'resurrection' being the role of the 'Once and Future King'. Like much of our Aryan Mythology the Legend of Ingwe has been overlaid with the Legend of the Celtic Christian Arthur. Ingwe-Arcturus has been transformed into 'King Arthur'. 

It can be no coincidence that our English Mythology and English History is now coming to light through the lies and deceit that have distorted it. This is due to the Resurrection of Ingwe. Nor is it a coincidence that the White Stone of Ing and its mysteries have surfaced again at this time. The nature of the stone in the church at Steyning is not of local stone; at first it was my thought that it may have come with the Anglo-Saxons from elsewhere, and we have seen how there are links to both North Wales and Ireland through the 'White Stone' symbolism. 

In the Ar-Kan Runes we have the symbolism of the White Stone of Ing (Calc-Stan) guarded on both sides by the Sword of Tiw and the Spear of Woden - the 'Sword of Victory' and the 'Spear of Destiny'. In Tolkien's Mythology the first lands were named Beleriand in the Far North and when this sank there was a continuation into Numenor-Atalante where the kingship was through the High Race of the Numenoreans whose name started with Ar-. This is the origin of the name Ar-Thur, for Ar represents the Solar Race. This continued into Ara-Thorn (Ar-Thur) and then to Ara-Gorn whose role in 'Lord of the Rings' is well known. That the prefix -ara symbolised the Sun and the Solar-Race is clear when the Armanists used the title Arahari as the Sun-God. 

We will go back to the name 'Og' which is shown to be a variant of 'Ygg'. In Norse Mythology 'Ygg' is an older name of Woden-Odin, as we are told in the texts. And where we use the name Ingwas for the Rune of Ing, the Goths use the name Yggws; could 'Ygg' and 'Ing' be one and the same? The Greek 'ing' would be written 'igg', which seems to underline this statement. Since 'Ygg' is the older name, and we find the name 'Og' here in these islands, then it is quite possible that the name stems from the time of At-al-land since Tolkien has it that Ingwe led the tribes back here to these islands. Ogma - the Sun-God, -and the Ogham Code come from this name too. I have shown that the name Woden and Gwydion are both associated with 'magic' and also with the 'forests' (Herne the Hunter). Significantly, we find the name Og here in England and Ogma in Ireland, and links have already been found between these two nations in ancient times. And the links between the English, Scots and Irish seem to be via an ancient god-form named Ingwe-AEngus (there is a variant of Ingwe as Ingus). We know from one source that the 'God of the Goths' was Ingwe; it is found carved on an piece of jewellery. 

We have the names Jutland and Gotland in Scandinavia, the latter being pronounced 'Yot-land'. These may well be variants of the same names of the ancient Goths, just as the Geats are also considered to be the Goths. The Goths are perhaps the most ancient in name of the Northern Tribes. Their name is related to both 'God' and 'Good', and the title of Odin as Gaut tells us that he was 'God of the Goths'. The name 'Og' seems to give rise to the later 'Ogre' which was probably due to the Church and its twisting of the truth. Whatever the case we do have grounds to see in this 'Og' an older name for Woden here in these isles. 

It is also significant that the Anglo-Frisian Rune-Row has a significant numbers of trees, two of these being added through the last AEttir -


Thorn - Thorn/Hawthorn/Rose,

Eoh - Yew,

Sigel - Willow,

Beorc - Birch,

Ac - Oak,

AEsc - Ash,

Yr - Yew (Bow),


I have left out Ken which can have the meaning 'Pine Torch' but this is not strictly stated in the OE Rune Poem. Feoh has been related to 'Fir' but again this is not stated. Sigel is (as Runebinder pointed out) salix related to the Sun, and to this rune. The staves of Feoh, Os, Ken and Eolhs do resemble a tree in some form, especially if they are written back-to-back. The last three - Ac-AEsc-Yr - included in the lengthened English Row must be significant.

There is a link between Ior (Serpent), Ear (Eagle) and Cw-eor-th (Fire-Twirl); just as there is a link between the last three runes - Calc (Cup), Stan (Stone) and Gar (Spear). There was a link between the Irminsul (Ear), the Serpent (Ior) and the Stag in Dorset, where legends of this have come down to us. These links seem specific to these islands.

Wotan's Krieger has pointed out that the 33-rune row may have been the earlier row, and both he and I have quoted Marby about the connection to Atlantis (At-al-land in Folkish Wodenism) which Marby stated many decades ago. He also knew of the area of the Dogger Bank which has only just been the subject of archaeological studies again. When we find one of the Fourth AEttir - Ear or Cweorth - in the rune-stances of the Horn of Gallehus this proves their magical use at some level, and also that the extra runes were not added later, but had been there as the Mysteries of At-al-land. Like the Graal Mythos they originated here in North-West Europe. There are three specific symbolic figures shaped like the Cweorth-Rune - the Long Man, the Herne Giant and the Atacama Giant in Peru (Peru was the seat of the Inkas or Ingas). 

When 'St. Patrick' went to Ireland he 'slew all of the serpents' which some of the gullible may believe; others may see this as 'slaying' the Serpent-Cults, just as 'St. George' slew the Serpent-Cults here in England. 

Such symbols as the above could well represent the Four Elements - Earth, Air, Fire and Water. But four dots would do to symbolise this; the four 'legs' come from a central point - the Sacred Centre - which suggests a Fifth Element. The secret of the White Stone of Ing suggests that the 'Gift of Ing' is Fire. Within us is the Divine Spark ('Light of the Gods') which is probably the same as saying 'The Kingdom of Heaven is within'. This is the Serpent-Fire.

The Serpent moves over the crown of the head, meeting at the centre of the forehead (Mind's Eye) with the Swan/Eagle/Dragon. The 'Irminsul' (nose-piece) is the ond-weg which is the 'Way of the Vital Breath' (ond). The secret here is that the Fire of the Serpent has to be 'fanned' through the use of the rhythmic breath (air) in order for it to become a 'Flame' and thus 'illuminate' the body of the Initiate. The Woden Initiate is 'enlightened' through this process, he becomes a Body of Light. This Fire acts to purify the body in order that it can become enlightened, just as Surt's Fire will purify the Nine Worlds. 

In order to understand the White Stone we should also bring into play the Calc-Rune, which is the Yr-Rune of the Younger Futhark and the Armanen Runes. This is usually called 'The Death-Rune' and it may well be the rune associated with the 'Death Mysteries'. However, the name calc is Latin and not Old English, so it has been added into this for some unknown reason. It is the stem of 'chalk' which is a 'white stone'; but chalk is also associated the movement of water within the Earth. We find many of the 'crop-circles' occur in chalk-lands in the South of England. 

I have associated the Calc-Rune with Kalki; Hamasson has seen this as being linked to Kali too. One does not rule out the other; in fact Kalki and Kali are themselves linked in Hindu Lore, and each rune has its equal and opposite meaning. The irony is that 'Kali' is black whereas 'calc' means chalk which is white. There are subtle hidden secrets here. We are here interested in the 'White Stone' so we need to unravel this paradox. Logically, since this is a 'cup' or 'chalice' it should be the upright version - Eolhs - and not the inverted one as it is. This suggests the cup being poured, and we find this image in the Age of Aquarius with the 'water-bearer' who is seen pouring water from a vat or container. But if this represents the 'Graal' then it is pouring out the 'Sacred Blood' (Sang Real). We shall come back to this theme.

When we speak of Blood Memory we must beware not to think that this is a physical connection to blood alone. Many scientists believe that the mind resides in the brain, but if we are to believe in some form of life after death this is totally impossible. And when ancient seers sent their souls out of their bodies they were sending out their consciousness, which obviously does not rely wholly upon the physical form but can leave it at will. So consciousness does not reside in the human brain. Everything is consciousness, the cosmos is like a 'Great Thought' and not a machine as science taught us. Quantum Science is finding this to be true. 

Both the Chalice and the Stone have associations with the Graal; there is also the Philosopher's Stone of the Alchemists, which seems to be associated with immortality. The key to all this seems to be that the term 'White Stone' is the link to the Graal Mythos; if right then the Runic Initiates that created the Old English Rune-Poem hid within it the key to the Graal Mythos. They hid it by changing the rune-name to calc which symbolised 'white', putting this next to stan which means 'stone'. Around these two they hid the 'Graal Weapons' - Sword and Spear. In the last rune - Gar - they gave away the secret that the Spear of Woden (Spear of Destiny) was associated with the Graal Mythos. The 'White Stone' could well be a hidden code for a Hidden Order that operated here in these isles. The first rune of the Fourth AEttir is ac meaning 'oak'; is this a coincidence since it is the tree associated with the Druids, and even more of interest is that it is the tree associated with the Royal House of the Wolsungas, who did represent an Elite Order - a Divine Race spawned by Woden in the forests of Germania. 

As Hamasson has pointed out time and time again stan was once used as a 'marker-stone' or 'boundary-stone' and the boundary is a point of liminal space since it is neither in nor out of a territory. Hence why Woden was associated with the boundary and the crossroads, both having the same properties. The names Hindu-stan, Paki-stan, Afghani-stan, Khazak-stan and all of the other areas with the suffix '-stan' show this clearly - it is an ancient Aryan word. The fact that this is a point of 'in-betweenness' is important, since this stone can represent this particular state - in both the physical world and the spiritual world. The stone is 'open' like a doorway or a portal into another world; the opening is 'guarded' by Ingwe (Ing-Rune). The Twin-Horses (Eh-Runes) are the means of travelling between the worlds, and Ingwe is the 'portal' at the centre. As I have shown in posts from way back, the Divine Twins are associated with Ingwe in a subtle way. 

There is a faint image of a horse on the White Horse Stone or 'Inga-Stone'; the stone is connected to the burial of Horsa ('Horse'). Throughout these islands we have the White Horse, the White Boar, the White Dragon, the White Rose and the White Stone, all of which are interconnected in the Web of Albion - the White Island. Albion - Alban - Albania - these are all interconnected names, all stemming from the  Germanic Root *alb meaning 'elf' or 'shining', and all also meaning 'white'. 

The figure of Irmin or Arman is always shown with the symbol of the White Rose of Albion. The Irminsul was erected by the Saxons in Germania; the White Horse is a specifically Saxon Symbol. The problem is that we do not know whether the White Horse originated in what is now Saxony or whether it came from here in these islands originally - or maybe even back to the time before these became islands. The same goes for the White Rose. The Rose is in fact the Fehm Star or Five-Rayed Star, this symbol being derived from the rose shape. The five-pointed star is also found in the apple cut into halves - it is a symbol of the planet Venus for one thing. The rose can also be a symbol of Venus. 

As I have stated, the Ior, Ear and Cw-eor-th runes are connected and the Serpent is an important symbolism here. The 'Dragon-Ships' of the Vikings is a clue to the importance of this symbol to the Germanic Folk. The English also used such symbols on their ships, so it is recorded. The Saxons came across the seas with their sails bearing the Golden, Winged, Coiled Serpent of Germania, as told in the Mabinogian. We shall be looking more closely at the Serpent Symbolism which was used extensively in these isles, and may have a link to the Initiates of the White Stone.
