I wish to write a bit about the dear, sacred Norse Runes which are perceived as the most difficult ones...

May my beloved Norns bless this exercise as I offer it from the heart.

HAGAL HAGALAZ HAL-A-GAZ HAGAL L HAEGL

HAGAL/HAIL


Hagal – Halagaz – Haegl - Hagall – The Sacred Magical Rune of the Norn Goddess Urd – The Past itself.

This dear magickal and sacred Rune is quite feared, despised, avoided, shunned finally misunderstood indeed by newcomers to the Runes…

Hagal is the Rune that rules Changes which come from the Universe, from our chosen pre-natal scripts to us while we are here temporarily travelling in the very flesh of air, water earth and fire.

Hagal’s most common meaning is Hail – Natural disruption, natural interruption, natural events which are outside of human controls...

First of all…

Most people grow up believing that they are 100% in charge/command of their own life and of course also in charge/command of their own stuff…

And yes, we all feel that way as we grow up but the more we live and look around us, the more we realize that there is not any one recipe for happiness which fits all…

The more we get older and we begin to look around, we see that “Reality Obeys Not Any Rules” at all…

Hagal is the wild card.

Hagal is there to remind us to look to the Past and remember how we incarnated, how we entered the flesh, how we depended upon Mother Nature and Her Changes (Life, Death and Rebirth) in order to experience Life here on Earth in these time-zones that we come to learn and to teach, to experience a part of our own selves which we know must surrender to evolution, the dance of creation as we find our own place in the scheme of all things above and below.

Hagal has always worried religious Hustlers who are too preoccupied with “Being in Control” of other people and their minds...

Hagal has always been a nightmare for the 1% of the population who loots and controls the other 99% of it via their cleverly invented traditions, invented mythologies turned into invented religions, invented politics, invented nationalism/flags, invented academia, invented codes of values and conduct and ad nauseum…

Hagal is not a happy Rune for anybody who wants to be “In Control Of Other People’s Minds & Expression” like the arrogant however benighted “Powers-that-be” of the world…

The reason is quite simple – Hagal tells Them all that they are not in control and puts them all back to their places!

With Hagal, you cannot buy your way out of something…

For you magickal people like myself, you cannot “influence” the outcome of anything and you have no control whatsoever over what is hand!

I personally love that!

Too many dumb-ass people in control of everything for too long…

I would rather surrender my temporary sense of control to Hagal than to another freaking human being anytime!

At least I know it is not under the control of some dumb-ass/ignorant rich trouser-stain…

But before you can feel at home with Hagal, you must “Trust” Life/Death and Rebirth, you must “Trust” CHANGE and of course you must trust Your own Self along with the sum of your good and bad times as one.

Hagal tells you of Rites of Passage – Births, Deaths, Rebirths, Returns…

Hagal tells you that you will be blessed and lucky when you learn to be as one with the Storm, when you learn to see that you yourself are made out of changes and you should not fear that what you are made out of.

For what it is alive Death is certain and for what it is dead, rebirth is certain too… Look at the seasons and how they come and go and return again…

Hagal can attract Good Fortune for those who can embrace Life and Death with the same Dignity!

The Past implies what it was, what has passed away, what it is gone and spent…

Hagal’s energies come from a place where the past did not pass and all events are still happening within their own time-zones…

Hagal creates the Change which is necessary for making the space for the “Present To actually Be”.

The emergence of all of existence is to experience itself at all levels and the call of the dance of evolution is urgent but delicious because pleasure itself is equally made out of changes.

Transformation is the order of the day and you and I are not in charge, nobody is!

That it is fine by me! It is a relief to me to be able to see that it is not as it seems at all!

Hagal is LIBERATION through major Change which can be seen as disruptive by those who wish to hold on to their reins and controls over other people and their thinking.

Hagal grants the ability to bring Opposites into Harmony!
Hagal is the Challenge which the Inventive Energies of Real Magick can pose.

Hagal is the call of the way of the Wyrd – First one must call one’s own wyrd upon oneself before one can call successfully the wyrd of other people – Them upon themselves!

Change according to one’s ideals however only when these ideals are in harmony with the All in the scheme of all things above, below and beyond.

Hagal can bless a wish for the good/balanced and curse a substantial portion of a lifetime for the bad/imbalanced.

Hagal is known as the Unavoidable when it happens , ergo real and true witches curry their favour of their own Wyrd’s presence in their life before such a time.

I simply love Hagal!

It is a rune which sets it right when it comes to the baddies and meanies of life!

It is a very dear rune to me which I place in my window to attract good luck from the primordial currents which still run alive and well within their own eternal groves in the scheme of all things!

Love and Light,

Sky a.k.a. JD Aeon

ISA

ISA – IS – ICE – COLD - FROZEN – PRESERVED

The Sacred Magical Rune of the Norn Goddess Verdanti - The Present itself.

No wonder Isa is the rune of the Present…

The present is always Frozen/Preserved in the Now and Here.

We experience as if it is always present…

But in fact it is not because the past takes its part and the future keeps giving away its parts so that they become the spontaneous and instant now and here that we all experience when we are temporarily alive travelling in the flesh.

This dear magickal Rune is quite feared, despised, avoided, shunned finally misunderstood indeed by newcomers to the Runes…

Isa tells us that it is not a time for Action.

Isa says – Stop! Freeze! Preserve for the time being!

The Freeze period is always temporary alike as anything else on earth…

Isa is about the Wisdom of a Temporary Rest, the Blessings of temporary and much needed Standstill…

An inspired Period of Absolute Stillness!

Isa is about Concentration, Unity of Being, Individuation of the Mind/Spirit and Flesh!
The rare blessing of temporary Self-Control which all life bestows and in order to allow us a part of supported pre-natal choices during the course of any one lifetime.

Isa defends by Delay!

Isa calls for us to trust the wisdom of waiting because “waiting is part of all existence as Life itself needs ”Waiting” in order to be able to divide itself to will and to/in infinite parts throughout eternity and all spaces.

I love Isa!

Difficult as it may be to wait sometimes…

I am always mindful and thankful for ISA and Her blessings throughout my life.

Love and Light,

Sky a.k.a. JD Aeon

NYD NAUDR NAUDHIZ NEED

NYD

My favourite Rune – Nyd

I've always loved and do love all of the Runes…

But Nyd is the Caller/Provider of the Flavour/Taste of Life.

How would you know you have to eat or drink if Nyd went away…

How would you know you have to pee or poop if “Nyd/Need” went away…

Attraction & Desire would not exist without “Nyd/Need”!!!
Need/Nyd is at the foundation of all wishes and of all desire and attraction!

Nyd – Naudhiz – Naudr - Need – The Sacred Rune of the Norn Goddess Skuld – The Future itself.

This dear magickal Rune is quite feared, despised, avoided, shunned finally misunderstood indeed by newcomers to the Runes…

Nyd call us To Be Patient, Prudent and To Wait!

Things will be, will happen when their time comes to happen!

Nyd teaches us that Resistance leads to Strength.

Nyd grants upon us the Wisdom to become Self-reliant and effective in times perceived as difficult.

Nyd protects with Innovation and with Chance…

Nyd does not mean Failure, she teaches us that all Needs are Temporary alike as everything else…

Nyd points to Successful Victory within the Future but only if one is willing to honour one’s Needs and of course, “with dignity which arises from needing” and of course benignly and with wisdom!

Nyd informs us that only “Crossing the proverbial Abyss” of any Initiation can teach us the much needed lesson which will poise and prepare us for what it is ahead of what we had in mind.

We all wish, ask and try to go for/to work for that what we believe that we really and truly desire in life…

However most of us, we do forget to think about all the variables which can find their way into our lives through the newly opened doors which we so much wanted to open…

The fact is, unbeknownst to us, we actually may not be 100% ready for that what we want because we may lack something important which it is required in order for us to benefit from our so-called wish-come-true!

Nyd provides us with the delays, the impasses and in short with all of the proper constraints in order to provoke, to steer us towards the lessons that we require to learn, tests which we must pass before the windfall does come…

So that we may appreciate our events/gifts/blessings better and enjoy them in full, with true contentment however with dignity and wisely.

Think about this...

Desire comes from and is founded upon “Needing” which it is that’s why we feel the need to have pleasure, to please ourselves au natural…

Satisfaction itself comes from and is equally founded upon “Needing” which it is that is why we feel the need to satisfy ourselves au natural…

No wonder this beautiful Need-Fire Ritual Rune is called “Need” – Nyd!

To need is part of all life and if need is wisely attended to… Then its bounties are satisfaction and happiness.

Life needs Death and Death needs Life equally… In order to exist in the Dance of the Evolution of All.

I love this dear and sacred Rune - Nyd!

Love and Light,

THURISAZ - THURS - THURN

a.k.a.

THOR’S HAMMER
GIANT THUNDER LIGHTNING
PHALLUS GATEWAY
INITIATORY-PASSAGEWAY
THE STRONG & GOOD ONE
PROTECTIVE THORN
MIGHTY GUARDIANSHIP

THURISAZ


THURISAZ – THURS – THURN - The Sacred Magical Rune of the good and dignified Norse God Thor.


This dear magickal Rune is quite feared, despised, avoided, shunned and finally misunderstood indeed by newcomers to the Runes…

I am not going to try to soften the fact that Thurisaz is very reactive Force, indeed a powerful and mighty Rune!

Very much and really and truly “NOT” a Rune to be played with.

Thurisaz is the feeding power behind True-Will, it is the Division Border between Perceived Chaos, Neutrality and “Willed-Format”, Perceived Order!

Thurisaz is “Not” Evil/Bad!!!

An electric line carrying/bringing a huge and mighty amount of electricity is not evil/bad!

But if not applied to its applications with wisdom, respect and the proper care it calls for… It can kill, it will destroy and it can certainly cause plenty of damage too.

A dear and beloved writer whom I am quite very fond of her works… She actually mentions an Atomic Explosion when discussing this rune…

Atomic explosions are seemingly “Not Friendly” at all when you are in this temporary flesh as a human being travelling through another lifetime/time-zone…

However in the infinite number of Universes, Galaxies, Other Worlds and in short, other dimensions and infinite inter-dimensional forms of existence like for instance “Being Light by Nature” (An eternal spark of Fire from the Eternal and Infinite Creatress Goddess) as We all are regardless of the temporary formats which we may choose to experience…

Well, Becoming a Star and exploding out of pleasure and the highest delight in order to experience other realities is not evil/bad…

You see, now suddenly Thurisaz is just a friend who knows whom we really and truly are!

We are not this temporary body we have, we are Lights, Sparks of the Eternal Fire of/from the Goddess!

Suddenly we realize… Hey, Atomic Explosions happen all the time and are perfectly natural, good and benign to other forms of existence, in other worlds/places and time-zones which we ourselves also have travelled through or will travel through in the course of “Being”, of existing as we dance Evolution and its beautiful gift of Eternal Changes...

Because that it is what all is made out of, folks!

- Changes!

However Thurisaz can wreck havoc in this temporary material world when it allows itself to be misused by people whose pre-natal choices/scripts include the need for hard and difficult lessons that Thurisaz can teach when activated on behalf of these people’s foolish, stupid, selfish, biased and wilfully ignorant behaviour and their consequences whether alone/individually or in groups/collectively.

It is all about Evolution!

Thurisaz is the Protective Thorn who protects a beautiful Flower in the garden…

I am not one for the attribution of Thorns to Thurisaz let alone invented (personified) labels like Evil and/or invented mythological Demons to Thurisaz!

I have myself lived my Runes in spirit and in the flesh. And I am quite happy with them all!

I love my Runes as extensions of myself, of my spirit and of my own flesh…

I love the Runes as a part of my loyal, reliable and wise Family and Friends!

I do respect the choice of other hearts and their perception of the same offered reality however filtered by their own willingness to see or not to see beyond the censorship/imposed limitation of their socio-politico-religio conditioning.

I can also understand the fact that human beings can create thought-forms and equally feed them with their weaknesses and wilful ignorance, ergo an empty beer bottle can become a symbol of miracles and tragedies ergo yielding effects and in short results whether deemed good or bad…

Chiefly if people add to it their own made-up part/portion of life-giving thought-power/soul-power.

But c’mon! Any real Witch who is worth Her / His own salt knows very well that Thought-Forms do their thing but they do not stand a freaking chance when confronted by real and eternal Archetypal Forces and Intelligences which were here and everywhere around before We (The Humankind Specie) arrived in these parts of the neighbourhood.

Thurisaz is the Hammer of the Norse God Thor whose powers can summon the Weather to change, rain, thunder and lightning – The theatrics, the effects of a Storm can happily dance for us and do their “Thing”!

Mind you, Thor's HAMMER (Thurisaz / Thor Himself / His Manhood) gets stolen temporarily by a Giant and it is taken away!

Later on and with the proper feminine assistance / help offered to Him...

Thor has to dress as a Female, as a Woman (Find The Woman Within and Outside Himself), now feminized / cross-dressed en Femme (Personifying the beautiful Goddess Freya) Thor travels far and away to the land of the Giants. (Thor has to undertake an Initiation in order To Balance Himself now Herself back to being Capable To Function At All Levels and into Himself - To get His Manhood back and equally All parts of Himself as One and in Harmony...

So that Thor can function at any and all levels and Thor can feel and can be Anything that he may desire to, may wish to)
Thor does fool the Giant (Or does he/she?) as he/she "Joins, Interacts and Pleases the all Male Giant while dressed en Femme and playing a Woman to the Giant and thereby afterwards Thor is allowed to gain his/her Total Freedom as he/she retrieves His/her Hammer (Thurisaz) and empowered by his chosen state of preference and of gender, back to being Thor, the Male God, he happily goes back home!

Thurisaz is a Rune of Transformation, of Magick, of Wise Sexual Freedom and Wise Gender Freedom which are founded upon Honesty to Oneself first, Integrity to Oneself first and the real Strength and True Security which come only from Within and not some stupid/dumb-ass invented societal code of invented values and invented conduct.

With Thurisaz, one is challenged to lose one's hammer in order to find one's freedom and restore integrity to one's heart and respect for all differences in oneself, in all other people and in all that exists!

Thurisaz is a Diversity-oriented Rune...

I will call it a Rainbow Rune because it bears the same Dignity and Respect for all Genders, for all Preferences and for all Modalities...

Thurisaz is the erected Phallus - Vital Eroticism, the Drawing and Attraction of Desire, its Consummation…

Thurisaz is Directed Power/Energy whether it is Actively Reactive-Power and/or Passively Absolved Power…

Thurisaz can also be Great Luck, Huge & Fortunate Change however it can also easily mean a Great Obstacle however coupled with the Inner Wisdom, Understanding and Power to break the opposing resistance and/or pass a time of waiting in order to achieve liberation.

Thurisaz is a Rune of Mighty Protection indeed however the protection which it renders is much like the good fortune which this rune offers and bestows:

– It requires inner and outer Dignity towards oneself and towards other people…

It calls for Wisdom of the kind which it is earned (experienced).

Thurisaz bestows mighty protection against anybody and/or anything…

This Rune’s Guardianship is very powerful but also equally wise and its misuse is foolish, painful and quickly corrected and at times in a rather mighty way too.

I feel sorry for those people who may arrogantly think that they can play with Thurisaz in order to act out their wilfully ignorant, harmful and self-serving stupidity upon other people…

Thurisaz can actually cancel one’s lifetime in a drop of a hat and It sort goes something like this...

If you’re lucky...

- Hey Junior, listen! You are done!

Get your sh*t and get the f*ck out of here!

Try again later and next time please bring/figure some Wisdom in your prenatal choices so that when you come to me, you will do so with Wisdom, with Evolution and Dignity to yourself and to other people!!!

Now if one is not that lucky, one may just get to experience in one nice instalment just before departure all of the nasty and ruthless pain that one has inflicted upon other human beings/good people throughout the course of one’s lifetime or perhaps lifetimes if one happens to be newcomer of the universe and still a very much of wilful nitwit attempting to be resistant to Evolution.

It is hard to have sympathy for people in the works of Thurisaz, because you know they are/were the kind of people that you would do better without for the time being until they grow wiser and more benign by evolving a bit, usually after a good bunch of lifetimes/time-zones have passed.

Thurisaz can be Good News from far and away places and people!

Thurisaz is the moment of an Initiation – Crossing the veils between worlds/realms via the Initiatory Gateway, the Passageway which separates common awareness and magickal awareness!

Thurisaz can be a Moment of Consideration/Thinking it through before you jump off that proverbial cliff for the New Experience… Moving to new possibilities can be happy if done with Wisdom…

Thurisaz calls for Wisdom, no doubt about it! And being arrogant and thinking too much of oneself does not fool Thurisaz… This is a dear, magickal and sacred Rune who knows “Who You Are”…

I love that about Thurisaz, no room for stupid b*llsh*t!

Thurisaz is Spiritual Power, it is the necessary Transition which all Progress calls and requires in order to successfully happen.

Thurisaz is Passion...

– As in passionate and affectionate Love Making between mutually Loyal and True Lovers & Friends!

Whatever it is that one does with Thurisaz must have “Dignity” because otherwise one will surely find One’s own Rubbish Upon Oneself and it can/could be very sad and actually quite tragic!

Having said that…

I will add the fact that I me myself have always loved Thurisaz along with all of the other Runes.

Thurisaz is a really beautiful Rune alike all of the other Runes chiefly when/if it is approached with love, with mutual respect towards oneself, towards other people and towards Thurisaz itself and all of the other Runes per se, you know, with some Wisdom and Dignity!

Love and Light,
