Gnostic Magic Of the Runes Spiritual Judo Dagaz • When we go to any temple of the White Lodge in the internal planes, we have to salute two guardians: the one on the right and the one on the left, as if saying two letters Daleth or two runes Dorn, which together form the rune Dagaz. Thus, we must form the rune Dagaz by crossing our arms over our chest, and while humbly prostrating we say, "Jachin... Boaz...," we pronounce Jachin by bending to the right and Boaz by bending to the left. We do this in order to enter into the temple. Then the guardians will allow us to pass because the guardians are also forming a Dagaz with their crossing swords (which are the symbol of their tongue) in front of any that approaches. The swords crossed in the form of an X are blocking the steps of the one who approaches the temple. So then, we must salute them by performing the rune Dagaz on our chest while saying, "Jachin.... Boaz..." These words are written in the Bible: • "And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and he called the name thereof Boaz." - 1 Kings 7:21 Fa • When we get out of bed, with immense happiness we must salute each new day by raising our arms towards our Lord, the Sun Christ. The arms must be placed in such a way that the left arm is a little more elevated than the right one, and the palms of our hands must face the light in an ineffable and sublime attitude of one who truly longs to receive the solar rays. • This is the sacred posture of the Rune Fah. Thus, this is also a method to work with Pranayama, by inhaling the air through the nose and exhaling it through the mouth in a rhythmical way and with much faith. • Let us imagine in those instants that the light of the Sun Christ penetrates within us through the fingers of our hands, then circulates through our arms, inundates the whole of our organism, and finally reaches the consciousness in order to stimulate it, to awaken it, and to call it into activity. • You must also practice this Runic judo in the mysterious and divine nights, before the starry sky of Urania, with the same posture, and praying like this: Fa • Marvelous forces of Love, revive my sacred fires so that my consciousness will awaken. • Fah…Feh…Fih…Foh…Fuh… • This short yet great prayer can and must be prayed with all of our heart, as many times as we want. Dorn & Os • During these Runic practices, you must combine the movement with harmonious and rhythmic breathing. Inhale the Prana through the nose, and exhale it through the mouth along with the mystic sound TTOOORRRNNN, prolonging the pronunciation of each letter. • When inhaling, imagine the sexual forces rising, ascending from the sexual glands through the air of sympathetic nervous cords, which are known in India by the names of Ida and Pingala. • These nerves or tubes reach the brain, then after they continue through other nerves towards the heart. These nerves are other channels; the Amrita Nadi is one of them. • When exhaling, imagine the sexual energies entering the heart, and even penetrating more deeply, reaching to the consciousness in order to awaken it. Strike the consciousness with force, with Thelema (Willpower), thus combining the Runes thorn and movement (Os). Dorn & Os • First, perform the Rune Thorn or Dorn by placing your right hand on your waist, thus, forming the good Thorn (goodwill) which means willpower, Thelema. • Second, perform the Rune Os by placing your two straight arms down while turning your trunk to the left; the two arms represent Ida and Pingala, the lower part of the key. • Third, perform the Rune Othila by return to the first position with two hands on the waist. • In each turn, we pronounce: Tooooorrrrrnnnnn. • Afterwards, pray and meditate. Beseech the Father who is in secret, ask Him to awaken your consciousness. • Beseech your Divine Mother Kundalini; beg Her with infinite love to raise, to make the sexual energies reach the heart and even further, to the very profound depth of your consciousness. Thorn • In the military position, on your feet, firm, and facing towards the east, place your right arm in such a way that your hand rests upon your waist or hip, thus performing the shape of this Rune. • Now, you must sing the mantric syllables [with strength, because the T beats in your consciousness], TA, TE, TI, TO, TU with the purpose of developing Christ Will in yourself. Tyr • The practices corresponding to the Rune Tyr or Tir consist of placing the arms high above the head, then descending them to the sides while the hands are cupped like seashells. When lowering the straight arms pronounce the mantra “Tiiiiirrrrrr.” • The letter “T” or Ta strikes the consciousness in order to awaken it. The letter “I” works intensely within the blood which is the vehicle of the essence. The “R,” while intensifying the circulation of the blood in the veins and in the sanguineous vessels, operates marvels with the ingenious flames by intensifying and stimulating the awakening of consciousness. Tyr Bar • You must intelligently combine the exercises of the Rune Bar with the exercises of the Rune Tyr or Tir. • Place the arms high above the head, descending them while the hands are cupped as shells, and while singing the mantras Tir, Bar, as follows: Tiiirrr, Baaarrr. • Objectives of this practice: • 1. To wisely mix within our own interior universe the magical forces of the two Runes. • 2. To awaken the consciousness. • 3. To intimately accumulate Christic Atoms of high voltage. Is • Standing in an upright position, let us raise our arms in order to form a straight line with the whole body. After praying to and asking for help from our Divine Mother, we must sing the mantra ISIS, as follows: Iiiiiiiiiiisssssss Iiiiiiiiiiisssssss • Prolong the sound of the two letters and divide the word in two syllables IS-IS [The pronunciation of the letter 'I' is similar to that found in the word "tea"]. • Afterward, the student must lay down with his relaxed body and, filled with ecstasy, concentrate and meditate on the Divine Mother. Sig • Squat like the Peruvian guacas. Place your hands on our legs, with your index fingers pointing upwards towards heaven to attract the rays of Jupiter in order to intensely magnetize the thighs. • The mantra is ISIS, which is vocalized like this: iiisssiiisss. Pronouncing a sibilant sound, with the S like that of the wind. With this clue you will totally awaken clairvoyance, and will obtain the power to read the Akashic records of Nature. • We must now meditate on intensely on the Inner Being, begging him to bring to us the Angel Zachariel in order to help us. Sig • After meditating as Xochipilli - concentrate and meditate on any ego that you want to annihilate, any defect, any error. Then you have to perform the Rune Sig. The Rune Sig is easy to make; • First, kneel down. Second, sit on your heels in the Muslim style. Third, extend your arms to form the horizontal beam of a cross. Fourth, pray to your Divine Mother and bend your trunk forward, then backwards while keeping your arms extended and while remaining firmly seated on your heels. • After having comprehended this or that psychological defect in all and each one of the subconscious levels of the mind, we must pray for help to our particular Divine Mother; thus, we beg her to eliminate from the lunar bodies the “I,” the entity which personifies such a defect. • When you perform that, pronounce the mantras: Sulu Sigi Sig, Sulu Sigi Sig, which is the name of the divine Mother in the Runic alphabet. Concentrate on her and pronounce “Ssssuuullluuu Sssiiigggiii Sssiiiggg, my divine Mother, my Goddess, please annihilate this defect from me, from my psyche. Destroy it with the energy movement of this cross that I am performing” then you bend back and forth, back and forth. Gibor is movement; remember pronounce Ssssuuullluuu Sssiiigggiii Sssiiiggg while moving backwards and forwards, backwards and forwards. Prayer for transformation Ur • Loving our divine Mother and thinking in that great womb where the worlds are gestated, let us pray daily as follows: • Within my internal real Being resides the Divine Light, RAAAMMM IOOO is the Mother of my Being, Devi Kundalini, RAAAMMM IOOO, help me... RAAAMMM IOOO assist me, illuminate me. RAAAAMMM IOOO, Divine Mother of mine, Isis of mine, Thou hast the child Horus, my true Being, in thy arms. I need to die within my self so that my Essence might be lost in Him... Him...Him... • This prayer must me performed before the sun, with raised arms and hands. The legs must be opened, and the body slightly crouched, thus awaiting to receive Light and more Light. Ar • The mantra ARIO prepares the Gnostics for the advent of the Sacred Fire. This mantra must be chanted every morning, dividing it into three syllables: AH… RI…O... prolonging the sound of each letter. It is advisable to work with this practice for ten minutes daily. Yr • Terrifying King of the Sea, Thou who hast the keys of the floodgates of heaven and who dost confine the subterranean waters within the caverns of the earth; King of the deluge and the showers of springtime; Thou who dost unseal the sources of rivers and fountains; Thou Who dost ordain moisture—which is like the blood of the earth—to become the sap of plants: • We adore Thee, We invoke Thee! Come unto us, we are thy miserable and unstable creatures; Speak unto us from Thine inconstant and great commotions of the sea, so that we shall tremble before Thee; speak unto us also from the murmur of limpid waters, so that we shall yearn for Thy love! Oh Immensity into which flow all the rivers of life, to be continually reborn within Thee! • Oh ocean of infinite perfections! Height which deepness reflects Thine Image, deepness which thou exhale from the height; lead us unto true life by intelligence [Binah] and love [Gedulah]! Lead us to immortality by sacrifice, so that one day we may be found worthy to offer Thee water, blood, and tears, for the remission of our sins! Amen. Man • Oh Thou, Solar Logos, Igneous Emanation, substance and consciousness of Christ, powerful life whereby everything advances, come unto me and penetrate me, enlighten me, bathe me, go through me and awaken within my Being all of those ineffable substances that are as much a part of Thee as a part of me. • Universal and cosmic force, mysterious energy, I conjure Thee, come unto me, remedy my affliction, cure me from this illness and put apart from me this suffering so I can have harmony, peace and health. • I ask Thee in thy sacred name, which the Mysteries and the Gnostic Church have taught me, so Thou can make vibrate with me all of the mysteries of this plane and superior planes, and that all of those forces together may achieve the miracle of my healing. So be it. Rita • The fundamental mantras of the Rune Rita are: RA…RE…RI…RO…RU… • The present Runic practice has the power of liberating Internal Judgment. We need to convert ourselves into judges of consciousness. To awaken the Buddhata, the soul, is urgent. This Rune has the power of awakening the consciousness of the Judges. Let us remember what is called remorse, which certainly is the accusing voice of the consciousness. Those who never feel remorse are truly very far from their Interior Judge. Commonly, they are lost cases. People like that must work very intensely with the Rune Rita, thus they will liberate their Interior Judgment. Not • The practices of the Rune Not take us to the practice of Pranayama – that is to say, to the wise and intelligent combination of solar and lunar atoms. You must profoundly inhale the vital air, the Prana, the life, through the right nostril, and exhale it through the left nostril while mentally counting up to twelve. Then after, inhale through the left nostril and exhale through the right one, and vice versa. Continue with this exercise for ten minutes. In this practice, you must control your nostrils with your index finger and your thumb. Afterwards, you must either sit down or lay down in dorsal decubitus (on your back, facing upward). With the body relaxed, concentrate and try to remember your past lives. Not • If you require the assistance of Anubis and urgently need to negotiate with him, then you must open your arms to the sides. While in this position, you must form the rune by placing one arm at an angle of 135 degrees and the other arm at an angle of only 45 degrees. • The arm which is forming the angle of 45 degrees will move in order to form an angle of 135 degrees, and the other arm will move to form the angle of 45 degrees. During this exercise, you must alternately chant the Mantras: • NA...., NE...., NI...., NO...., NU...., while having your mind concentrated on Anubis, the Chief of Karma. In this manner, beseech him for the negotiation you wish, and ask him for the help urgently needed. You must observe well the form of the Rune Not, imitating this sign with your arms. The right and left arms must alternate in their movements. Hagal • For instance, here we see the symbol of the physical body performing the Rune Hagal, or showing through our physicality how the Rune Hagal is performed by forming the six-pointed star. The geometrical sign in the left of that bodily-symbol represents the geometrical forms that emerge from the word. Thus, through the word and through the Rune Hagal is how we control the forces of nature and the universe in our bodies. Remember that our vital body, which is the superior aspect of our physical body, has the five forces, the five ethers, from the feet to the top of the head; namely Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether. So this is how we, through the Rune Hagal and through the vital body, take advantage of the forces of nature in our physicality. Hagal • You can perform the rune Hagal with your physical body when you lower and raise your arms as the wings of a bird, turning clockwise at the same time. Turn clockwise like a wheel. You might remember that the whirling dervishes turn in that manner while forming a cross with their arms and body. Dervishes do it that way. For the Rune Hagal, you turn around in the same way, but the difference is that you are extending your arms up and down; up and down. • Pronounce the mantra hhhhhhh. Hagal • Beloved disciples, you must profoundly meditate on the Unity of Life, on the Great Alaya of the universe, on the invisible world, on the parallel universes of the superior dimensions of space. • Concentrate your though on the Valkyries, Gods of fire, air, water, and earth. • Agni is the God of fire. Paralda is the God of air. Varuna is the God of water. Gob is the God of the element earth. • Through meditation you can enter into communication with the Gods of the elements. • You must trace the Rune Hagal on a blank paper, then after, concentrate your mind on any of the four principal Gods of the elements. Call upon them so they can help you when it is necessary. Gibor • When you want to defend yourself against the negative forces from the underworld, Master Samael teaches that we must point the Earth with our left hand forming an angle with our left bent arm; and with our right bent arm we must point with our hand to Heaven, thus forming the Gibor by placing our left knee on the ground, and our right foot on the ground, thus forming two angles with our left and right legs, this is how we make the sign of the swastika. Runic Alphabet • Pronounce "Iiiihh" while elevating your arms and forming a straight line. Then, you lower your arms, and form the letter E, the rune Ehwaz, pronouncing "Eeeehh". Then, form the shape of the rune Othila by opening our legs and place our arms above our head, with our hands together, and pronounce "Ooohh". Then, we bend over forwards and form the shape of the rune Ur, and pronounce "Uuuu". Then, we stand back up, and open our right leg, forming the rune Ar, and pronounce "Aaaahh". Then, we raise our arms above our head, hands out, in supplication, and pronounce "Mmmm". Finally, we crouch down and rest on our heels forming the rune Sig, and pronounce "Sssss". Laf • The practice that corresponds to this Rune consists of going toward the Sun in the morning. In the moments of sunrise, adopt a mystical attitude, that is, lift the hands as shown by the Rune. In this way, one implores unto It (the Sun, Christ) for esoteric help. • This practice must be performed on the 27th of each month. Sig • You must seal all of your magical works, invocations, supplications, healing chains, etc., with the Rune Sig. The zig-zag of lightning must be traced with your right hand and your extended index finger, at the moment when you also sound the letter sssssss as a prolonged, sweet, and gentle whistle. www.gnosticteachings.org • For more information please study the books Gnostic Magic of the Runes, Practical Astrology, and The Doomed Aryan Race by Samael Aun Weor. • These books can be purchased at http://gnosticteachings.org/store.html. • You may also study our free course by visiting http://gnosticteachings.org/courses/runes.html
