Ceremonial for Success

In the following you find instructions for several Rune ceremonials. Using these instructions as a model you will be able to devise your own ceremonials and adjust them to any purpose. The first ceremonial that I am describing here is the ceremonial for success. You can use it for many situations, provided that you adapt it accordingly.

Perform this ceremonial either by yourself or together with others. Group practice increases the power of the ceremonial, of course. Prepare the altar as shown here.

Preparation:

1. Prepare yourself as described earlier.

2. Put the set of Rune staves around yourself and the Altar

3. Write down your intent and specify exactly what you want to happen. Have another blank sheet of paper ready with pen. You will need it later during the ceremonial.

4. Initial Meditation. Sit down comfortably for meditation. Leave everything of daily life, worries, etc., behind you, including your intent. Clear your mind. Clear yourself. Be aware of your inner rune realm. Be aware of your Divinity. See yourself in a sacred place or a place of power, surrounded by the Runes. You know that you can draw and project creative energies at will. Your inner Rune realm is the space within which is a basis of your work. You know that this inner Rune realm is connected with the outer Rune realm that you are about to establish energetically, and both realms are connected to the realms of creation.

Introduction:

5. Light the Altar Candle and say the following:

"Powers of the Light
Eternal in the Universe
Penetrate darkness.
Sacred flame, shine!
Bring Light into darkness.
Around darkness, around night,
Darkness has merged with the Light.
Original fire of FA,
Burning since the beginning of times;
Light force of AR,
Born of the Sun
At the beginning of the worlds,
Give Light to the seeker!"

6. Take the cup with water or wine. Hold both hands over it. Be aware of the purpose of your ceremonial. Meditate upon the roots of all being. Through the palms of your hands project energy into the water or wine. Be aware that you established now an astral link with the water and be aware that it represents the principle of the soul, or of desire which is at the root of manifestation. Bless the water - do this mentally in silence. Be yaware that the energies of the water increase as the ceremonial continues.

7. Take the body position of YR. chant YR three times:

YR -- YR -- YR

8. Light the incense and say:

May the power of the Runes
Lead us to a greater understanding
Of the Universe and of ourselves.
May the Power of the Runes
Further our path to Oneness.
We thank the singer of the Edda
For preserving the heritage of Atlantis.
We stride the direct path to Oneness.
We tear down the fences
That separate individuals, groups and nations.
Fences that have been
Erected by blindness.
We are wanderers to higher realms.
Unified with all people of good will
We work to achieve
A unified homeland of humankind
On the throne of which
Divine Spirit,
Divine Wisdom
Divine Love
Are ruling.

9. Take the body position of MAN
Chant MAN three times

MAN -- MAN -- MAN

10. Focus on the Hammer of Thor. You are aware that the energies of the burning candles are transmitted into the water by means of the incense and that the combined energy is then projected upon the Hammer of Thor, which now contains the synthesis of all energies. You are aware that you can direct the energy of the hammer of Thor wherever you decide to direct it so that it ultimately will manifest into your universe.

11. Hold your hand over the Hammer of Thor, feel the interaction between yourself and the Hammer.

12. Take the body position of SIG-TYR and chant SIG-TYR three times

SIG-TYR -- SIG-TYR -- SIG-TYR

Activate the outer Rune Realm

13. Charge the outer Rune realm as follows: Take your power rod, or dagger, and point at each Rune of the set around yourself and the altar while you chant the mantra of each Rune and follow up with its stanza from the magical poem. At the same time point at the Rune. Your partner (s) and other participants of the ceremonial go into body-and/or hand positions of each Rune that you chant. They join you in chanting the Rune and keep chanting the Rune while you recite the stanza.

Ffffffffaaaaaa (the mantra)
I know the Songs that no wise woman knows
And none of the children of men.
The first Song is HELP, and help it will
Against sorrow, hurt, and any distress.

Oooooorrrrrrr (the mantra)
A second I know; quite useful to the children of men
Who practice the healing hand:
It chases disease and all pain,
It cures hurts and all wounds.

T H O R N
A third Song I know: If urgency tells me
To tie the opponent with magic
Then I dullen the steel of my foes
So that their swords will not cut anymore.

Oooooosssss
A fourth Song I know: If an enemy puts
A tie of pliable limbs;
Then I speak the spell, the shackles break on the feet
And the fetters break on the hands.

Rrrrriiiiiit
This I know as a fifth: If in hostile flight
An arrow shoots into the crowd;
Not matter how it threatens, I block its force
By grasping it tightly with the look of my eyes.

Kaaaaaaaa
A sixth on is mine: Should a warrior hurt me
With the roots of soft wood;
This warrior who awakens the hate within me
Shall be struck before it gets me.

H A G A L
A seventh I know: If the hall blazes high in flames
Above all the people;
No matter how it burns, I still save them all.
The Magic I know to perform.

Nnnnnnoooooood
An eighth one is mine: quite useful to hear
For all the people in danger and need.
Where hate should arise between man and man
I settle it fast.

Iiiiiiissssss
A ninth one I know: I danger is out in the sea
To protect my dear ship
I conjure the wind on the billowing floods
An I sing into slumber the sea.

Aaaaaaarrrrrr
A tenth one I know: When ill wishing spirits
Fly high in the air; I cause them to turn around
Back to their homes, deprived of their covers;
Back to their roots, bewildered their minds.

Ssssssiiiiiig
This I know as eleventh: Then I Lead
Into battle the friend, the beloved;
I sing it into his shield, so he will win in battle
And luck around him everywhere.

Tyyyyyyrrrrrr
A twelfth one I know: If I see the hanged man
On the tree, shaking in the wind
Then I scratch and I stain Runes
The warrior can talk and descends from the tree.

Baaaaaarrrrrr
A thirteenth I name: If I wet the Son
With holy water
When he is facing the foes he cannot perish
And no blade can strike him into the dust.

Llllllaaaaaaffffff
A fourteenth I sing to all the assembled people
When I name the Divine names;
For nobody knows the characters of Albs
And of all Ases as well as I do.

Mmmmmmaaaaaannnnn
A fifteenth I count: That which Volkrast, the gnome
Sang by the gates of the day;
To strength for the Ases, and to force for the Albs,
And to clear my own senses.

Yyyyyyyyrrrrrrrrr
A sixteenth I know:
If from wise maiden I desire joy of love
Then I change the intent of the maiden
And I turn her feeling around.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeh
A seventeenth I know:
To join together two lives
In love through wise law;
Both are willing, and no one will lightly part after this.

G I B O R
An eighteenth I learned, but I would not let this
Know a just anyone else; for the best Everyone keeps for himself.
That which leads to the end of the songs.
The one only knows who is in my arms as my only lover.

Activate the Inner Rune Realm

14. Now you are ready to fully charge your inner Rune realm. Sit down or lie down in a comfortable position. As you are in this position you notice yourself being in this realm that you have established previously in your Rune training. You know that all Runes are present and that you are amidst them. You can now draw and harness them at will and you can direct them wherever you intend to do so. For this specific ceremonial you have Runes charged in your inner relam. As you notice them charged, you know that these same Runes stay in contact with the same Runes in your Outer Realm where others can FEEL their prsence nd the also stay in contact with the same Runes in the realms of creation, from where their specific powers of creative impact are continuously drawn during this ceremony.

You focus on the Rune NOD. You see it surrounded with light and life force and pulsating.
You focus on the Rune MAN. You see it surrounded with light and life force and pulsating.
You focus on the Rune SIG. You see it surrounded with light and life force and pulsating.
You focus on the Rune BAR. You see it surrounded with light and life force and pulsating.
You focus on the Rune FA. You see it surrounded with light and life force and pulsating.
You focus on the Rune AR. You see it surrounded with light and life force and pulsating.
You focus on the Rune TYR. You see it surrounded with light and life force and pulsating.

You are aware that each of these Runes is a key to your ceremonial for success. You may have prepared a bind-rune or a special talisman for success containing these Runes.

NOD gives you awareness of karma. It brings you in contact withe the process of karmic structuring and it is the key to overcome and transcend Karma: NOD is your key to transcend the realm of karmic limitations!

BAR gives you new birth, new direction. It helps you sprout that which you desire to happen.

FA is the beginning of each of the new ventures that you embark on. It provides you with the financial means that are necessary for such ventures. It draws the constructive fire of the beginning.

SIG ensures that you have the attitude of a dominant and victorious person. In SIG you are aware that you have the power to overcome everything and that you can be victorious in any venture.

MAN causes you to be in touch with your Higher Self that transcends space-time and its connection with the structures of karma. It awakens in you memories coming from the time-less Divine providence.

BAR, again, solidifies your new birth into another line of karma: a much more flexible line of permanent success.

AR causes you to connect with the changes of your personal structure, attitudes, "ghosts of the past", etc., into something useful and supportive for the success that you envision.

TYR provides you with success, yet this Rune keeps you from attaching yourself to it and from becoming a slave of your own success. It eliminates that trap of success.

Now, being aware of the function of each Rune that is part of the ceremonial, you strengthen the Runes in action by continuing with the visible ceremonial in your outer realm.
