The Magic of the Runes

“The script of the First Root Race was with the Runes. The mallet of Masonry comes from the arrow of the Egyptian God Ra, and this is a Rune. In that epoch, the rituals of the Polar Temple were all runic. The movements of the officials were runic. This is the Divine Script.” -Samael Aun Weor, The Perfect Matrimony “The runes are formidable for the awakening of the consciousness.” -Samael Aun Weor, Gnostic Magic of the Runes

Runes as a Language Runes have mysterious origins but are considered remnants of a very ancient language used in previous root races. According to H.P. Blavatsky, the word “rune” is from a Scandinavian term meaning secret. Runes have mysterious origins within the Nordic tradition, as letters of a language that also contain ritualistic properties. Samael Aun Weor received the teachings of the runes from his Rosicrucian teacher Arnold KrummHeller (Huiracocha), and from studying the Nordic tradition. His book The Gnostic Magic of the Runes contains three aspects in alternating chapters: explanation of the Runes, reflections on the Aenied, and a study of pure science.

Runes as a Map The runes show a map of the initiatic path– the journey that each seeker of God must make through psychological, emotional, mental and spiritual struggles and transformations. This journey is mirrored in The Aenied, the story of the founding of the city of Rome by Aeneas, the last of the great semi-Divine Greek heroes. Here Rome represents the Celestial Jerusalem, the Holy City that we build inside of ourselves, the cathedral of the soul.

Runes as a Science The chapters on science include studies on meditation and reflections on molecular and astrophysics. This shows that transformation on this journey occurs by utilizing the matter of the physical body and the universe, and working in a scientific way with the mind. As unveiled by Samael Aun Weor the runic practices contain a posture, prayer, mantra, and the transmutation of vital energies. Each rune connects us with a certain archetype inside ourselves. The runic practices are powerful experiential tools, allowing us to become the symbol and polarize intelligently the inner meaning of the rune. The following are some examples of the meanings of the runes and the accompanying runic practices as given by Samael Aun Weor in his book The Gnostic Magic of the Runes.
