The Runes are the most perfect weapon of the witch and mage in all magickal workings. Other methods are sure to reach the same results if worked ardently enough. The Runes are the indigenous language of northern Europe and the earliest know use of sigil magick directly related to the English language. So you have your effigy or sigil in the atheyric plane of vision and you cast a runic message into it say, the anoetic of agapae for the Mysteries, Isa-Lau-Othala-Uruz-Ehwaz-Thorn-Hagal-Ehwaz-Radho-Uruz-
Naudhiz-Ehwaz-Sowilo cascading into and falling into thine Sigil and thereby savoring the powers thine Sigil acquires. When you reach success in this other discoveries will be sure to follow. I came to this by projecting runes at apt times. Sometimes hand signals or mudras are capable of re enforcing the Current. It's my recommendation that ones heart chakra be fully opened just before beginning this Rite, be sure to use diverse means to reach ekstasis ( I practice my own personalized form of Stadhagalr or yoga ). By doing so you open yourself up to the inner core of what love is about.

Sitting before your alter, sit or stand before ones alter. After sometime it will be possible to do this exercise discretely wherever one is. With one hand lightly punch your other hands palm, 24 for times each fist. Then begin alternating after each hit of your palms . When ready, imagine with each hit on ones fists you imagine a rune (in the runerow of your choice) fly past in your auric vision, for the entire runrow. This will teach you how to be operant in the Runic realms and the Yggdrasil Tree. Variations of this technique can also be very poignant.
