“Even the strongest blizzards start with a single snowflake.” - Sara Raasch

~TODAY'S RUNEMAL~

COLLECTIVE READING

The Runes constitute one of the most ancient forms and means of divination. Used in concert with the daily nature of the Moon, the Ancients discovered the perfect guide for personal conduct and timely action.

-JANUARY 31, 2025-

EIHWAZ

KEYWORDS: AVERT, PATIENCE, PERSERVERANCE, FORESIGHT

Virtues: Continuity and Endurance

Daily Theme: EIHWAZ is known as the Rune of DEFENSE. Every now and then, we are tested. When we are, we quickly adopt a natural power to avert defeat and/or blockage. Consider the benefits of delays or obstacles today. Be patient and not overly eager or needy to press forward in order to achieve a particular outcome. Remember, everything in its time. When you step back from situations, your ability to foresee possible consequences prior to certain acts becomes clear and you can avoid negative outcomes. Thinking before acting allows you to anticipate better and make the right decisions. There is a saying, "More than doers, we are deciders" - once a decision has been made the doing becomes effortless. It may be a meaningful day if you can wait. Eihwaz speaks of consolidation and defense. Of being able to capitalize on what you have developed so far, but without immediate payment for the work. Eihwaz carries the lesson that by our own actions we create our tomorrows. The traits of perseverance, tenacity and determination should be brought in to play. Build your future each day with proper application of effort and intellect.

Today, crystal practitioners and advocates should work with Topaz (re-motivates, promotes self-trust, finding the perfect pathways to success).

LUNAR ASPECTS FOR RIGHT ACTION: Don't push too hard or allow others to make you angry as things can go awry. Remember being self-righteous and overly opionated doesn't help any cause. With tolerance you'll win.

MESSAGE FOR WINTER

There is an old Viking saying: “It is better to stand and fight. If you run, you'll only die tired.” It seems in these times people are having a very hard time coping with life more than usual. For some every day is laced with discord and strife and for most it seems the world is spinning out of control. People are shutting down more and more. Hating one another because of political differences or belief systems runs rampant and it doesn't look as though it will be going away soon. These are the times to remember who you really are and pull yourself up by the bootstraps and without sounding cliche clean your house with a swift broom. Putting yourself in good order is the first step in fighting and not running. There are None Noble Virtues known to the Vikings - people who never gave up or backed down. Applying these to daily life - your life - can help you stand in adverse times. It is time to do the work.

Courage

Courage is better than cowardice

Truth

Realism is better than dogmatism

Honor

Honor is better than dishonor

Fidelity

Ancestry is better than rootlessness

Discipline

Strength is better than weakness

Hospitality

Kinship is better than alienation

Self--Reliance

Freedom is better than slavery

Industriousness

Vigor is better than lifelessness

Perseverance

Joy is better than guilt

Try It. What Have you got to lose?

A Message About Reincarnation

FROST TO FIRE

Inspired by dreams divine

Beyond the tracks of time

Song and rhyme to feed your starving ears

In faith I heed the call

Yet so uninvolved

Questions unresolved, too deep and high

From frost to fire

I'll leave, your desire at the door

No more

Lives to wait

In time, I'll lose all designs

And nothing left undone

Never again

To "speak in tongues"

And if you've lost sight of sacred ground

The key may still be found

In your heart

If you've the strength to look there

From frost to fire

I'll leave your desire at the door

No more

Lives to wait

In time, I'll lose all designs

And nothing left undone

Never again

To "speak in tongues"

To see with sight of closed eyes

The visions of the wise

Can come as no surprise

The trumpet sounds...

This candle has been lit for all those anywhere in the world who are suffering physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. May the Light find you, illuminate you and heal you.

THE SECRET ADAM

https://www.holybooks.com/wp-content/uploads/The-Secret-Adam-A-Study-of-Nasoraen-Gnosis.pdf

The Secret Adam – a Study of Nasoreaen Gnosis by E. S. Drower takes us deep into the pre-Christian spirituality of the ancient Persia. Still today there are remnants of the Mandaeans (“Gnostics“) also known as Sabaeans in Iraq who among others had a tradition of baptism. Their knowledge is historically accessible through a vast amount of scrolls. In The Secret Adam, E. S. Drower outlines the history of the people, their thoughts and secret knowledge.

MAGIA NATURALIS - NATURAL MAGIC

https://www.holybooks.com/wp-content/uploads/Natural-Magick.pdf

Magia Naturalis (natural magic) is the main work of the Neapolitan scholar Giambattista Della Porta, first published in 1558 in four books and then in 1586 in twenty books. It is the compilation of fantastic phenomena and beliefs he collected during his life and that he has tried to wrest from the divinatory magic by giving them a naturalistic justification or by legitimizing them by classic literary references. The first edition of Magia Naturalis dates from 1558 in Naples (then Antwerp in 1560), while Della Porta was only twenty-three years old. From an early age, with the help of his preceptors, he hunts for surprising, wonderful, and even miraculous facts, to review them in order to tear them away from popular superstition and put them back to their proper place within the natural philosophy. The Magia Naturalis is not a book of magic spells but merely an anthology of natural wonders written at a time when science was still in its infancy.

FUTHORKH: A JOURNAL OF RUNE ESOTERCISM AND MAGICK

VOLUME II 2025

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DPSJN3V5?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

FUTHORKH: A Journal of Rune Esotericism and Magick is the journal of Knights of Runes. Of utmost importance to this journal, is the study and practice of the Armanen Runes in the tradition of Karl Hans Welz. To begin, it is necessary to understand that a Rune is best described as a secret or a mystery. They are properly described as cosmological mysteries and concepts that date back to the dawn of time—to the Ginnungagap itself. In the pages of FUTHORKH, we explore the esoteric nature of the Runes, reveal their secrets, consider their practice, and attempt to solve, at least some of, their mysteries.
