Chant for Change

If your time is limited, a simple chant may be the answer. Although this is a simple practice and Runes are not drawn and projected with the usual intensity, it can still be quite effective, provided, of course, that you are a Rune Master and can work with the procedures involved on a non-conscious level. Otherwise the chant may become a simple array of words with little effect, if any.

You can perform such a chant with others, of course, or you can insert it into a larger ceremonial as an addition that makes use of the powerful energies of the ceremonial, even though it is not an integral part of it. For instance if the ceremonial is to help a specific person, you may insert one or more chants to help other persons as well.

The altar is set up relatively simply. Rune staves, incense, and a candle. Light the candle before you start. Tune into your inner Rune realm, be aware of the outer realm and the realms of creation. Yes! The tuning into the realms is a practice that should be second nature to you, no matter if you do an elaborate ceremonial or the simple drawing and projecting of a single Rune to have creative impact upon a situation!

Continue as follows:

1. Chant:
"Powers of the Light
Eternal in the Universe
Penetrate darkness.
Sacred flame, shine!
Bring Light into darkness.
Around darkness, around night,
Darkness has merged with the Light.
Original fire of FA,
Burning since the beginning of times;
Light force of AR,
Born of the Sun
At the beginning of the worlds,
Give Light to the seeker!"

2. Light the incense and say:

May the power of the Runes
Lead us to a greater understanding
Of the Universe and of ourselves.
May the Power of the Runes
Further our path to Oneness.
We thank the singer of the Edda
For preserving the heritage of Atlantis.
We stride the direct path to Oneness.
We tear down the fences
That separate individuals, groups and nations.
Fences that have been
Erected by blindness.
We are wanderers to higher realms.
Unified with all people of good will
We work to achieve
A unified homeland of humankind
On the throne of which
Divine Spirit,
Divine Wisdom
Divine Love
Are ruling.

3. Chant MAN three times

4. Chant SIG-TYR three times

5. Chant:
NOD - NOD - NOD
Rune of the Norn
Help my awareness of karmic ties
Help me dissolve of karmic ties
So that good fortune
And good luck can manifest!
NOD, because of you
NOD, I am growing
Beyond misery
NOD -- NOD -- NOD

Body Position of NOD (cross position)

NOD -- NOD -- NOD
Calling in need
Screaming,
Brethren of Hermes
I ask you
Be advisors
Be Helpers
To me
Who I am erring
And searching
NOD -- NOD -- NOD

If you perform the ritual for someone else, replace "me" with the name of the person whom you help, of course.

MAN -- MAN -- MAN

MA, original word of abundance
My requests are merged with you
Increasing that
Which truly is mine
MAN -- MAN -- MAN

SIG -- SIG -- SIG
Creator-Spirit
Dwelling within
Be victorious!
SIG -- SIG -- SIG

6. Focus on your inner Rune realm for a brief period of time. As you are in tune with your inner Realm, notice all the Runes with which you have worked, glowing, pulsating and radiating life force, filled with strength. You are aware that your request is projected into the realms of creation from where manifestation comes. Know that you want the outcome. Know that your request is incorporated in the astral worlds.

Closing:

7. To close, chant:
Powers of the Runes
Thank you for your energies
Flow back to the
Sacred Realms of Creation!

Extinguish all candles.

Chant IS three times while imagining all energies draining into the ground and your room being cleared of all surplus energy.
