multi verse (many songs, many gods many realities) uni verse (one song, one god one overall oneness reality), universalism is more a dualistic human view, evident in Judaic cults and originated in zoroastrianism. Heathenry and all pagan cultural dreaming is a multiversal concept of everything. layers

Oh, dear. Jacob, I've followed your endeavors from this channel's beginning and I really admire your enthusiasm and your talents for communication and forging community. In no way do I mean to insult you, your teacher, or anyone else who finds the methods in this video useful. But viewers need to know that this kind of runic mysticism has almost nothing to do with pre-Christian Scandinavia. It not at all ancient or historical, but a recently "invented tradition" which belongs squarely within the compass of modern Western occultism (much like the Tarot, which it not-coincidentally resembles). To simplify a great deal, the runes are first and foremost a set of alphabets used for all kinds of purposes in the ancient and medieval Germanic world, secular purposes very much included. Magico-religious inscriptions surely exist, but their power seems to have derived from their content, not so much from the fact of being written in runes rather than some other script. (And would it surprise you to know that most surviving inscriptions are explicitly Christian?) Unlike modern mystics who put a great deal of emphasis on single runes as occult symbols with intrinsic meanings, ancient and medieval people who wanted to charge objects with magical potency typically wrote sentences or multi-letter formulae, though they occasionally employed single runes or bindrunes as abbreviations. In short, runes were magical only insofar as all writing had something of magic to it (not a trivial matter, incidentally). The notion, which you put across late in the video, the runes are "building blocks of the universe" points directly to where modern rune mysticism ultimately comes from: an ahistorical borrowing from the Kabbalah by the seventeenth-century Hermeticist and antiquarian Johannes Bureus, who was trying to demonstrate the antiquity and greatness of Swedish and "Gothic" culture, for obvious nationalistic reasons. After Bureus, the next major period of runic mysticism comes with the Völkisch movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This is where we find Guido von List and other Nazi-adjacent personages, along with the privileging of the Elder Futhark (because it has more letters, and because older must be better) and many other spurious notions which still bedevil modern Norse Paganism/Heathenry/Asatru. Finally, in the 1980s Ralph Blum invented divination by randomly selecting runes, inspired by the I Ching. There's also the awkward little matter that the accepted "spiritual meaning" of each rune comes from interpretations of the Norwegian (YF), Icelandic (YF), and Anglo-Saxon (Futhorc) Rune Poems, but applied to a different alphabet (EF) used centuries earlier. Finally, we know (mainly from Tacitus) that the ancient Germans practiced divination by casting lots. They may have used pieces of fruit wood. Did they write runes on them? Did they anoint them with blood? We have no idea. We just don't know. Now, none of this history might matter to you. Magical and religious practices don't always have to be old to work well. If you find that modern rune divination works for you, then that's great! But know where it comes from, and recognize why those origins might seem a little dubious, not to say problematic. (I'd also say that any other formally isomorphic system ought to give the same results, but that's getting deeper into the theory of divination than I want to go.) If you are interested in a historically grounded discussion of the magical uses of runes (and of Nordic pagan religion generally), there's a very good blog out there by someone who calls himself Thorraborinn. You can find many of the relevant articles here: thorraborinn.tumblr.com/search/divination. The same blogger also has an excellent bibliography much more reliable than the list given in this video's description. (To be frank, Krasskova is no better than Thorsson/Flowers. Blum we've covered. I'm not sure about the others, but I'm not optimistic.) I'm putting down my wooden spoon now . . .

How do you explain the passages of Egil saga discussing carving runes? Or the large section of the Havamal discussing the runes? Or the one main section of Odins character being that of the runes? I know of the cult in which you speak, but have not heard of this connection with the runes.
@nathanmauk9387

@@TheWisdomOfOdin I don't mean to suggest that runes were never used for magical procedures, or that runic writing was not regarded as magical. As you note, Egill's Saga gives several examples of magical inscriptions (including a quite interesting one where ineptly carved runes bring sickness rather than health) -- one of Egill Skallagrimsson's several distinguished talents being his facility with runes. And of course Havamal gives both an account of the divine discovery of the runes and a more oblique discussion of their ritual uses. To be an expert in writing with runes probably did imply esoteric knowledge. My quarrel is with the way many contemporary pagans fetishize runes (always individual letters, not inscriptions) as mystical emblems, while giving short shrift to the basic fact that they were after all a writing system. Worse, they obfuscate the fact that runic divination is not some survival from antiquity, but a modern neopagan invention based on the Kabbalah, Theosophy, and Hermetic "Magick". I've seen that same obfuscation used to justify all kinds of weird innovations, from "rune yoga" to a spurious "galdr" consisting of nonsense vocalizations. If somebody finds value in meditating on, say, *Uruz, while tracing its shape in blood, then more power to them, but please be aware that there's no convincing evidence that anyone else ever did that until recently. Incidentally, I'm not sure what "cult" you are referring to in your last sentence. Krasskova's "Northern Tradition"? Thorsson's "Rune Gild"? Nazi occultism? Early modern Rosicrucianism?

I'm familiar with the history of divination with runes and was shocked to find out years ago how many rune alphabets there actually are. However, what the runes were is not what the runes are. Today I was reading about the history of tarot cards. They morphed from gaming decks into a fortune telling parlor game, and were later given esoteric meanings by the ceremonial magic orders, somewhat in the manner of occult flashcards. However, today thousands of people effectively use tarot for divination, as well as for spiritual development. I'm not saying you're wrong, this is just how I reconcile the fact that runes and tarot work.

Ive been faring forth and learing the runes for 8 years or so, i commited to it, moved to the forrest, every day, blood sweat tears, screams, joy , ecstasy. the runes came when my 6 month old son was taken from my (in a separation) his eyes dilated he screamed Algiiz!! algiez three times,, didnt blink stared into my soul. then his pupils went normal again. i said....yes, and i made my oath to do it. i gave everything up, burnt my things, killed my previous life, walked away from everything i knew. it took 4 years to start meeting the gods and other beings in their worlds. i often was visited by Odin and a few other gods here in trancework. then the astral work started happening. the first time i went to Asgard was full abduction i was a bit overwhelmed, tears and all, blew my mind out the back of my head. This is a huge path. indeed. sometimes i still wish to give up cause it requires so much sacrifice ,, but hey,,, for the greatness of my soul, of the multiverse (many songs) and all life and sentient consciousness beings. The jotnar, Alfar, Dweagar have their own runes, we use odins, there were human runes they were lost, u can re discover them. no one teaches them here, people do know, but its full occult secret stuff, i havent being that successful in that just yet, though i am learning different runes with Arianrhod. i was given 13. different magic entirely. Odins runes will get you through the door, help you deal with the paradoxes required to do it. the real stuff is given way after all that.

Another word of warning concerning one of the authors. I looked through the comments, but couldn't find it yet. Geza von Nemenyi is a racist and nazi and here in Germany every selfrespecting Pagan, Heathen on Witch avoids him as best as they can. He also actually tried to proclaim himself head of all German Pagans - something we understandably didn't appreciate at all. In my Pagan bubble, he is a persona non grata, not only because of his authoritarian attempts at power, but foremost because he advocates white suppremacy in a form that even most europeans aren't "white" enough for him, let alone 99,9 percent of all humans. That has nothing to do with Pagan values whatsoever and I will not throw my money down that stinkhole. Thank you so much for your videos, Jacob! Sometimes the Gods find strange ways to talk to us, like the infamous KZitem algorithm ;) Blessed be!

Love your channel. I wonder if you know anything about the Odu (16 letters) of the oracle of Ifa, as there are many parallels between them and the runes, and between the two systems (there are also differences). For example, in Asatru there's Ice and Fire as the two primal foces, in Ifa there's Ogbe (light) and Oyekun (void / darkness), which I relate to expansion and contraction. Each odu has its runesongs, its mysteries and teachings. In Asatru, gods have a type of shrine known as horgs which are heaps of stones, in Ifa / Santeria the Orisha "dwell" in containers of sacred stones known as otanes--in both cases, sacrifices and libations to the deity are offered to the stones. Differences: Ifa uses the binary language like computers do, whereas runes are strictly 24 and there's no numerology that I know of. Also, babalawos (high priests of Ifa) claim to have a pact that helps protect people from women's magic / seidhr, whereas the runes don't but the rune Nied is scratched on men's nails to protect them from women's magic ... there are also curious parallels between European and African deities in Voodoo (Maman Brigitte is literally a Celtic Goddess who somehow made it into the Voodoo pantheon, and the Ghedes wear glasses with only one lens which reminds me of Odin) ... Not saying they're the same, but the parallels between the traditions remind me of how Odin was a Wonderer and traveled the world seeking wisdom.

runes were actually my first foray into all things norse. i was drawn to ralph blum’s book (set). you remind me of his style of writing- he was presented with the information, but is by no means THE expert, or only author on the subject. i have since made my own set, from clay. for me it honors all the elements; clay, the earth from which we all are created, mixed with water and dried by air and finally hardened by fire. the ritual of creating and naming each piece (incising the rune on it) makes them intimately mine. i also do not allow anyone to use my set. if i am doing a reading for someone i may ask them to pick the rune(s) but i am the one reading them. i 100% agree on not using menstrual blood for any divination. its purpose is different than the blood coursing through your whole body. thank you for mentioning it. a friend drew a tattoo for me when my brother passed away. he knew i worked with runes and wanted to incorporate some into the image, so he pulled several, i read them as: (under his date of birth) the warrior’s strength flows and (by his death date) the journey(is at a) standstill. quite fitting. thanks for another great and informative video! skål

So this is a very important question for me that I hope you see (or someone who can give me guidance on this. So I guess listening to this I've had a very atypical journey into paganism, at 17 I have only been at this for about five days but I am taking some of the teachings of the Hedge Witch path with Norse Paganism as it is my belief that my workings are best suited to helping people, when I tried to find the ceremony involved with creating them and came up with nothing. It was the Runes that initially called to me, their power always felt right, even before I began my journey. I made my own set and have yet to truly activate them and have adopted a method of using them for castings in order to feel the way that they weave the pattern of the world and sometimes when I've done serious castings (as serious as one can when only having introduced it to their friends 5 days ago) I actually get the sensation of seeing these threads and the realization of these massive forces. I feel intensely connected to my Runes and plan on expanding my knowledge and bond with each of them to hopefully feel that even more. I even used them in sigil crafting without necessarily realizing what I was making were Bind Runes (a new term for me) in order to make a protection sigil for my book of shadows as I wasn't happy with the ceremonies I found, and one I gave to my friend as a charm to assist her in making decisions because she was having a rough time in life and was really really frazzled. I guess this is a whole lot of context for not a lot of question but is it wrong for me to be using the Runes in this way? I have an intense amount of respect for them and feel an incredible connection with them so I was only doing what felt natural in a sense. I'm probably overthinking this but I just found this religion that already aligned with every belief I had and I'd really hate to have made a mistake so early in my practice

Hence why you get Tree Oracle, Moon Oracle, Dragon Oracle, wouldn’t be surprised if there is Rune Oracle.. but Tarot is it’s own and separate thing if you use tarot, Oracle and runes you’ll understand what I mean.. plus you can just feel it in your spirit and soul. I often wonder why tarot and Oracle are so different yet similar.. personally I get an ikky and dark feeling with tarot.. doesn’t sit with me correctly.

I am thinking about starting learning runes and when I make runes am probably going to use rowan or bone to make them. If I make wooden runes would make them out of rowan because that is my druid zodiac.

my good friend got really into runes, and in class he showed me some of them and i thought they looked really cool so i started drawing them on my hands and on paper without knowing anything about them, then i started learning more about them and i regret it.

@@laurynasadomavicius7695 No, they are not symbols. They are just letters, like our letters. Runes were used to write the old Germanic languages: Proto-Germanic/Proto-Norse, Old Norse, Old English, Old Frisian etc. with Elder Futhark, Younger Futhark, and Anglo-Frisian Futhork. Whatever has happened to you is most likely down to confirmation bias, and nothing whatsoever to do with runes.

Hey so I’m new to Norse paganism and I’ve learnt that the gods don’t take the shape of humans. And in your notes it says that “Odin hung from the world tree for 9 days and 9 nights to learn these tunes.” If he doesn’t take the form of a human then how did he hang from the world tree?

Hi Jacob! I've interested in the Elder Futhark for years but never really gave the time to learn about them. Recently I've felt very drawn to them and thankfully found your video. I've purchased 3 books, 2 among the ones you've mentioned, and am excited to dive into learning about them. I do have a question though and wanted your opinion on it. I grew up and have a Christian religious foundation. However, I'm also a firm believer in truth and connectedness with all things, whether or not it's something that necessarily aligns with core values of what my (or any other religion) teaches. With you having practiced several years and being a Norse Pagan, would it be disrespectful to the runes to practice them with my Christian background, despite believing in their powers as well as the elements?

‘Metal doesn’t have a connection to the natural world” .... perhaps better to acknowledge that unless you are lucky enough to find large native nuggets of elemental metals such as copper, silver or gold, most metals require human manufacturing before being useful objects of a kind that could then be turned into runic objects. Additionally most average people do not have access to proper metal-working tools so this is a practical limitation in using metal to make runes. A final consideration is the electrical properties of metals may need to be considered in terms of empowering or possibly conflicting with the subtle energetic properties of certain runes. It is not impossible to use metals in rune-craft, it simply needs to be attended to thoughtfully.

hey, so this thing had to me and i don’t know if it’s a sign or not. so i was in class once sitting at my desk next to the door and i was zoning out looking out of the door window (whole door window) but there is a bar through the middle of the door (horizontal bar) and my class was on the 2nd story of our school and i saw a figure dressed in all white. white jeans and white suit, and then i moved a bit and the bar in the middle of the door swiped over the figure and then it was gone. not sure what happened but i feel like it was a sign from the gods. tell me what you think though

I wanted to learn runes, i had a set before but never connected to it. I don't feel connected to runes in general, I just thought that I should give it another go (not very enthusiastic about it). I wanted to get runes and try to learn, but I cant memorize all those rune meanings for the life of me. I have horrible memory and it's just not possible for me to read without looking at the meanings, so I guess this is just another sign that runes are just not for me.

Thorsson/Flowers takes a more eclectic approach to the runes which is unafraid to draw on any tradition, be it Thelemic, Eastern, Hermetic, Setian, etc. so long as it adds to rune study instead of detracting from it. His results and books speak for themselves. You can be a historical anachronist and basically get your jollies larping as a Viking, or use utility as your standard of truth. Personally, I'd rather have an eclectic practice that works for me rather than try to copy exactly what a viking godhi from 300 CE thought and did.

I don’t understand why menstrual blood wouldn’t be appropriate to use on runes. It’s my blood, my body made it, AND it’s blood with the potential of creating new life that is also returning to the Earth. The magical correspondences for menstrual blood make as much sense as using bones to make runes. To each their own but menstrual blood seems like an even more sacred version of my blood to use.

Any magical properties that we know of. And that is the great debate. Yes there were runes, and now they are considered divine and sacred. But that transition is unknown, or when it truly occurred. We know the pre-christian germans used some form of divination and we can infer so did the Scandinavians. But it is unknown exactly what they used to do so
