High Galdr Runes and Rune Secrets


Book Description

Runes, runes and more runes! The sacred science of the Gods, the runes were made available to their children, our ancestors. Much information is available about the runes, yet so very little is known as to how they are actually used. They are chanted, they are written, and they are drawn, yet all these methods fail to produce rapid or tangible manifestations. Using the runes is a science and, like any science, the rules under which their principles and practices operate need to be known. Unleashing a runic vocalisation using proper Galdr has been kept secret for ages, known to only an extremely select few who were capable of mastering their very Self. These methods for Galdr (rune use) were passed down through generations as part of our spoken tradition, with only sparse written instruction preserved. At long last, actual methods and underlying principles of manifesting the power of the runes are being made known within these pages. Learn how to wield the runes, how to unleash and manifest them, how our ancestors use them to recode reality and reform events in life. Written in clear practical steps this books is the ideal guide for the beginner and experienced rune seeker. Each and every rune holds a secret, a key, a power, a source of knowledge and a potential. Learn to unleash it ALL using actual High Galdr.

Nordic Magic Healing


Book Description

Galdr is a song or howling by which a poem written in runes is "made active." Anthropological texts will often describe a healing ritual where the healer has been seen to mutter some indistinct words over the patient. This book gives these 'mutterings' back their true meaning and importance. It will also explain their rational value by clearly stating the root causes of the sickness, and explore their religious meaning. The poetry and creativity of these chants combine to form a very effective healing technique, albeit a very difficult one. Many of you will be familiar with karate's 'scream that kills', that came to us from the East. We will explore the 'scream (or song) that heals' called galdr by the Norse. In this book, galdr will be explored in two ways: by looking at a new interpretation of the famous Finish epic, Kalevala; and by considering pagan charms from various parts of the world, including two unexpected sources, those from Lithuania (not yet published) and those from Hildegard von Bingen (a German Christian visionary of the early twelfth century, whose charms were not considered to be Pagan). The Kalevala teaches us the twelve steps for physical healing, and the nine steps for healing mental illness. Old charms are used as a model for buidling new ones.
