Lesson 1: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Do I have to commit the Rune Songs to memory?  You do not have to commit the Rune Songs to memory.
• What is magic? Magic may be defined as manipulating vital life force and cosmic energies in accord with divine and natural law, through mental concentration and visualization, charged with emotion, directed by unwavering will, strengthened by symbolism and ritual to effect a conscious balance between inner transformation and external manifestation.
• What is Autogenic training? It is a relaxation method where you focus on each part of your body....first saying to yourself "(body part) is heavy" several times and focusing on feeling the heaviness. Then focusing on that body part and saying several times to yourself  "(body part) is warm" and feeling the warmth. 
• Do I place the Runes clockwise or counterclockwise around me?  Karl Welz differed from other Rune Masters by promoting a counterclockwise placement of the runes. This he did to align the Runes for astrological affinity.  For the purpose of the KOR coursework,  we recommend the same. However, feel free to experiment with both. Only through your own experience will you develop mastery.
• What is the right pitch of each Rune? The pitch and sound is not covered in our coursework.
• Where can I get the KOR tape on Rune mantras? Reference the YouTube videos in the Complementary Materials to learn how to pronounce each Rune. 
• Some Runes, when turned around look the same as another Rune. How do I know what side is the right side up when I make a Rune set?  Place a dot or a mark at the bottom of each rune.
• Can you derive my personal Runes from my birth data and name? Yes, we will on request, there is no fee attached for course participants.
• Do I need a Chi generator? No, you do not need a Chi generator and this course does not supply or source Chi generators. 
• I struggle with visualization. How can I improve it? Stand in front of a window of a shop focus briefly on all the contents in the window. Close your eyes and try to visualize the shop window with us much detail as possible. Open your eyes and see what you have missed. Then repeat the process again for two times. Over time your visualization will improve. 
• I cannot concentrate. How can I learn to concentrate? When it is evening or early morning light a candle. Sit about a meter and a half away from the candle and focus on the candle. First start for a short time like a minute. Focus for that period on the candle, then snuff out the candle and relax for at least thirty seconds before repeating the process. Gradually increase the time span to at least ten minutes.

• There will always be more to learn about each Rune.
• The Runes are beyond all known mappings and verbal descriptions of the world.
• It is considerably more important to practice Runes than to describe them.
• The most powerful methods of magic are also the simplest ones.
• Rune practice is a direct route to your Higher self.
• The Runes enable us to evolve more rapidly.
• A general healing of the planet is needed - healing is a personal responsibility.
• First heal yourself - strengthen and empower your individual consciousness.
• Transcend the polarities of individual consciousness and collective consciousness.
• Love yourself first and foremost, then proceed to universal love that encompasses your being as a whole.
• Global healing requires a collective effort to clean up the debris of Karma that has accumulated over the ages.
• The Book of Ceremonials is an important tool for your practice with Runes.
• Capture you own ceremonials in the Book of Ceremonials in your own handwriting. 
• Before you begin to write, bring yourself to a state of meditation and write with undivided attention.
• The Book of Ceremonials acts as a powerful talisman which connects you with the Rune realms.
• In your diary write insights, visions, actions, and results of your Rune practice.
• Write down your Rune ceremonials in detail; include your impressions during the ritual and the results of the ritual. 
• Keep your Book of Ceremonials and your diary safe, secure, and private.
• Rune healing should not be used to replace healing by licensed processionals and approved drugs.

Lesson 2: FAQ

• Is the idea of of a Book of Ceremonials the same as a Book of Shadows? The Book of Ceremonials and the Book of Shadows has, as far as I am concerned, the same purpose --recording what one is doing, how it is done in order to sharpen your intentions, and how to learn to improve your ceremonials. It also is aimed at improving your own mastery rather than relying on other people to design rituals and ceremonials for you. 
• Is the idea of a Book of Ceremonials somewhat "new age"? The idea of a Book of Ceremonials is a very old and proven method to increase one's own mastery of the Runes by actually recording the use of the Runes. As an esoteric approach to the Runes, I promote that we learn from all traditions and wisdom over the centuries and look for what they present in terms of its usefulness for our own aims rather than labeling ideas. The consistent advice I received is to test everything in the course and see what works. Give it a proper test over time, then decide what works for you and what does not. 
• May I keep my journal electronically? I recommend that you keep a journal electronically for easy note taking. However there is much power in a handwritten journal. I keep most of my notes electronically and then once a week I write the most important observations and thoughts into a handwritten journal. I think here it is important to experiment and decide for yourself what works best for you. 

Lesson 2: Checklist for Progress

1. Have you started a Book of Ceremonials?
2. Have you started writing a Rune Journal?
3. Is your Book of Ceremonials and Diary secure?

• Rune Yoga prepares you to be a clear and powerful channel for the energies you draw from the Creative Rune Realm.
• Rune Yoga must be evaluated in terms of the effect it has on you -- not historical claims.

• Rune Yoga aims to:

1. Achieve balance
2. Clear chakras
3. Increase health

• Most important is that Rune Yoga improves your ability to project Rune energies to any target, anywhere.
• Rune Yoga is the gateway to mystical experience based on shape-induced energies in a multi-sensual and multi-focused experience.
• These shapes include: body postures, hand postures, mantras, etc. that can trigger cosmic energies.
• Shape, drawn down from the Creative Rune Realm, to the Inner and Outer Rune Realm, combined with intent generates fields of Rune energy.
• An intimate connection with the Creative Rune Realm develops mental, psychic and spiritual powers to receive and transmit rune energy.
• Rune Yoga requires:

1. Purification and control of your body

4. Breath control and rune visualization.
5. Rune sounds (galdr)
6. Control and harnessing of emotions

1. Mental discipline controlling thoughts
2. Psychic discipline controlling passions and instincts
3. Physical discipline harmonizing the body through moderation

• How we apply these disciplines depends on each individual's circumstances and constituency but must be done with an attitude of taking responsibility for personal development.
• Rune practice requires breath control which provides on its own health benefits.
• Correct breathing carries oxygen to every part of the body and ensure the elimination of waste from the body and massage the organs in the body.
• Breathing supplies life energy to the body that can be directed by will to the material, etheric, and spiritual planes.

Lesson 3: FAQ:

• What is proper breathing? Proper breathing is rhythmic, silent, deep breathing, through the nose, while relaxing the upper body and dropping the diaphragm down into the belly inhaling 70-80 % of the breath using the diapragm; not by lifting the rib cage. 
  See: https://patrikedblad.com/habits/how-to-breathe/  for more information.
• Should I adopt a particular diet to purify my body? Your diet is a personal choice. Do whatever you do with moderation and mindfulness.
• Should I isolate myself to deepen my rune practice? Isolation is a personal decision. Rune practice teaches you how to work within the community where you live while maintaining healthy and mutually beneficial relationships. There are benefits to isolation for short periods of time but practice it with moderation.
• What is a mystical experience? A mystical experience is a clear tangible (or real) and significant impression of the Creative Rune Realm that is difficult to describe in words. It often creates a yearning to experience it again because it was so mystifying and likely leads to a deeper spiritual awareness of self.
• How do I know a mystical experience is real and not just my imagination? It is easy to be self-delusional when one wants to have an experience. It is best is to remain sober-minded and critical of your own experiences. Be humble about the privilege of having had the experience and refrain from discussing it with the uninitiated (people not doing rune practice). A true mystical experience will usually enrich your appreciation of life, will give you a greater level of inner joy, and be beneficial to yourself and the people around you.

• OS is the Rune that teaches you to accept the fruits of your efforts without setting up new limitations for yourself.
• OS contains powerful spiritual energies leading to freedom.
• OS is the Rune of receiving the Rune that provides results.
• In ceremonials OS is used to receive and accept energies that belong to the mental and astral planes.
• Rune hand positions (mudras) serve to attract energies from the realms of creation.
• Hand positions trigger shape-induced energies capable of charging energies with specific requests, ideas, or wishes.
• Shaping the rune with the hands draws energies of the rune into the body.
• Frequent use of rune hand positions makes you aware of more subtle components of the body as well as the subtle parts of the universe.
• Practicing rune hand positions brings no overnight benefits but results in healing and cleansing of the body and developing of the chakras. 
• Mentally chant the mantra of the rune while inhaling and while exhaling feel the rune energy stream through your head into your body.
• Runic practice requires breath control.
• Odic energy gained, through breath, can be consciously directed.
• When you visualize a Rune into the air to be inhaled, it will connect with the Odic energy.
• The quantity of the inhaled air is less important than the quality, enhanced by the runes and impregnated with Odic energy.
• Perform breathing exercises slowly and calmly, without haste, tension, or strain.
• We must develop useful methods of working with rune symbols.
• We can observe the effects of runes on the material and conscious planes and formulate natural laws which explain the interaction of runes with the material planes.
• We apply these laws to formulate our methods for using the runes for different purposes.
• We must understand a symbol in terms of:

1. shape or physical outline
2. symbolic meaning derived from its shape
3. evocative meaning with an attached interpretation
4. energial connection that trigger an energy
5. ordered arrangement that connects meaning based on the position relative to other symbols.

• Symbols in general represent a form of mapping of the realms for which they are relevant.
• Hyperphysical symbolism has an essential distinction from purely materialistic symbolisms standing for energies of a higher order.  
• Hyperphysical symbolism generally contains a system of gradual initiation which reaches into realms of thought and into planes that are beyond the purely material.
• The 18 Sacred Futhork Runes:
• have all characteristics of a hyperphysical symbolism
• are a linear symbolism where the position of each rune is important 
• are also a symbolism of a higher order, which may be arranged in its own context of related meaning between the runes.
• Runes represent symbolic mappings of the Realms of Creation, which give us useful methods of interacting with those realms and relating them to the world in which we live.
• Odin's Rune Song shows you how to experience rune initiations, while the  "magical poem" provides a system of triggers that gives access to the transcendental energies of the runes.
• First, you will get acquainted with each individual rune, and experience the realm of each rune.  With your Runic empowerment, first as a Knight, and then ultimately as a Rune Master, everything will fall into place, and the symbolism of the Eighteen Sacred Futhork Runes will communicate itself to you.

• Just as the air you breathe contains energies that may be amplified, charged, and dynamized with Runic energies, through proper breathing of the runes, so does food.
• Desires, or wishes, which are impressed in food, have a strong impact on the material and etheric planes. 
• As a Rune Master, you will do well to consider this aspect of food, especially if you want to achieve things that have to do with the well being of your body, or if you have other material desires.
• Practice energizing your food with at least one meal per day on wholesome food.

• The material plane belongs to space-time.
• We divide the material planes into a dense material plane and the etheric levels of the material plane. 
• The dense level we experience on an abstract level as tangible and etheric plane we experience as energies which are in direct relation with what we experience as material.
• On the etheric level operates electric and magnetic fluid that is not subjected to relatavistic natural laws. 
• Odic force/energy is more than magnetic fluid of purely etheric planes as it reaches into planes beyond the etheric.
• Odic energy is important in overcoming the boundaries of space-time.

• Beyond the material plane we find the astral plane. 
• The astral plane also contains electric and magnetic fluid.

• The charging of water has a direct effect on the astral plane.
• Beyond the astral we find the mental world which relates to the element of air/mind
• Above the mental spheres is the causal plan which relates to the fire element. 
• The highest causal plane is the world of emanation, the mental is the world of creation, the astral is the world of formation and the conscious world is the world of forms.
• We use this "Mapping" of world for its usefulness to develop our metaphysical practices.
• The world of emanation is the will which determines that something is to be done.
• The world of creation refers to the creative mind, which lays out practical ways of how to do something.
• The world of formation gives shape by concentration of emotional forces 
• The conscious world is where change becomes manifested. 
• Thus in magic we focus our will, mind, emotion, and consciousness on an outcome.
• In a ceremonial the presence of the four elements is an important to align the four elements without needing the rune master to focus on it constantly.
