ANCIENT SCANDINAVIAN MAGICAL WORDS

alu ᚨᛚᚢ

The most common - and most, as is commonly believed, powerful - incantatory rune word. Perhaps it goes back to the most ancient northern European basis al, meaning magic power, magic in general. The magical use of the word was probably very varied. The most general interpretation is as follows - “Dedication; magical power and power; wisdom".

Several modifications of this spell are known; here are some of them: slalu - a variant supplemented by the rune of power and victory; folslalu is a complex variant known from the bracteate from Fakse; halg alu is another complicated variant, the meaning of which is restored with great difficulty.

sar ᛊᚨᚱ

Also a very common sacred word. A possible reconstruction of the meaning is “wandering in search of Power”, which should be understood not only literally, but also figuratively.

auja ᚨᚢᛃᚨ

This word itself means “luck”. The use of this word as an incantation has, accordingly, the purpose of bringing good luck.

gibulauja ᚷᛁᛒᚢᛚᚨᚢᛃᚨ

Complicated version of the previous word. This is a combination of two words meaning "to give good luck" or "to give good luck." It is important that in this version the Gebo rune appears, corresponding to the meaning of the spell as a whole.

laþu ᛚᚨᛒᚢ

A very common incantatory word; the connection of the word with an ancient stem with the meaning of “invitation”, “invocation.” This is one of the sacred words that were part of invoking spells.

laukaz ᛚᚨᚢᚲᚨᛊ

Many researchers associate this sacred word with the ancient scandal laukaz “wild onion”, which was a sacred plant and was revered as having great magical power, mainly of a protective, protective nature. Therefore, the word has a similar direction of action. However, it should be borne in mind that LaukaR is perhaps one of the oldest variants of the name of the rune Laguz, which should also be borne in mind when using this sacred word.

The names of those who practiced the Nordic Tradition also served as words of power: Erilaz - the lord of the runes; Gothi clergyman, priest; Vitki - magician, sorcerer, lord of the runes. Inscriptions - good wishes also have magical properties. The main traditional concepts are the following: Alag, "presence, influence", Auja- "luck", Gina- "endowed with divine power" attacks ”.

Title: the Runes Writer: Lisa Perschel I have tried my rune set with this book and I'm utterly lost & confused. I either need a better rune book OR I'm just doomed to fail with runes and should stick to tarot cards. it does well at explain each rune, but the rune spreads she gives are hard to understand and she don't explain well on how to read the runes within the spread. It's too much  "this rune means this this but if next to this rune it means this but only if in this spot..."
