Rune Shamanism
“Ansuz, or Aesc, is the Rune of the Messenger, and it is used for speeding messages to others. You can draw it in the air, and then make a gesture as if releasing a bird to fly, at the same time time that you mentally send a message to someone. You can also write the […]
Today we went on one of our all-day rides. Up in the Carson mountains we traveled - surrounded by snow-clad ridges, frosty streams, and lofty trees. As Matt drove, Ansuz popped into my mind.
I saw and heard a harp. This reminded me that messages come not only on paper or nor are they only spoken. […]
This morning as I was walking Magick, I looked around me and realized the powerful place I am in. I pictured the Norse Odin on one of the mountains, arms outstretched with staff in hand. Right below him I could see Ansuz imprinted on the rocks in the snow.
As I thought about his status as […]
I continue to think about combining the Runes with Native American symbolism. This could be a real challenge. I don’t know a lot of N.A. symbolism and I can’t draw/paint worth a darn but want to try.
As I ponder Ansuz, I keep getting a Native American impression. I feel like I should be combining the Runes with a Native American influence. Maybe make my own Rune deck?
I tried to meditate on one of the aspects of Ansuz but realized that tearing the rune into its pieces/parts just doesn’t work for me. I need to follow where I am led on these journeys. I can’t dictate their path…….that makes me feel as though I am creating the rune to my specifications instead […]
I spent more time thinking about Ansuz. This time it was about the relationship of lapis lazuli to the Rune. Lapis lazuli is one of the throat chakra runes. Thus it has to do with communication. In this case it is usually about speaking out. It would therefore be a rune about standing up for one’s beliefs […]
Today I thought about the color blue and its relationship
to Ansuz.
There are many shades of blue varying from the palest to
the darkest. I thought about the palest blue sky to deep
blue of the ocean. Knowing that blue stands for
communication, focus, will power, peace, spirit,
rejuvenation, blessings, healing, speech, expansion,
fidelity, creativity, Water Energy, and the Throat Chakra
I […]
Today is my first day with Ansuz. My journey used boh the
Stag and Shakti (wolf) as guides. This is the first time
that both were with me.
There was a lot of brief scenes mostly with Asa on top of
a mountain with his arm outstretched holding a rod. Two
ravens were flying overhead. A lot of power was […]
