RUNE EHE (Krumm- Heller)
Number: 17
Astrological Correspondence: Gemini
Color: Bright Violet
Stone: Turquoise
Symbolism: Truth, Faith, Hope, Uniting
Meditation:
The EHE Rune is very similar to the NOT Rune, because they always warn the person of the danger that threatens them when something crosses their path in order to disturb or upset them.
In the [Spanish] word “eje” meaning ‘axis’ is the value of the other form of this Rune, it refers to the axis around which everything revolves.
Short Practice Description:
Same preparation as for the NOT Rune, but start with the right arm raised higher than the left.
Long Description:
The present Rune is also the Rune of Marriage (the EHE Rune), since the man (who is absolutely alone) has only partial forces, as is unilaterally the same for the unmarried woman.
United in marriage is how the positive and negative powers are coupled in order to form a stream of tremendous and effective power.
Celibacy is, then, the renunciation of this force as absolute sexual abstinence, but both sexes united (as when the protagonists unite themselves in a true embrace of love with the male covering all the astral centers of women), engenders a powerful force capable of making inconceivable miracles and we will be very careful to not allow them to be known prematurely by those who can still jeopardize a certain drawing back of the mysterious veil.
All religious sacraments are to a certain extent operations of Magic and marriage. The perpetuation of a Magic that can be white or black depending on the character, or purity of love, that both spouses bring.
That is why, although we respect many couples who have united without appealing to the Church, we know that they cannot mobilize runic forces, such as those that can be mobilized by legitimately married couples.
Hence we constantly recommend to the Gnostic Priests to celebrate the ritual of Marriage with married or unmarried couples thereby connecting them to the great chain of immense strength/force.
There is, however, a small difference between the EHE or EH Rune and the NOT Rune of the ancients.
Sometimes it crosses the pole horizontally. Other times, from left to right and still others from right to left.
As we shall see later, the horizontal line is the Rune of the SELF (the IS Rune) and this SELF is crossed by other lines forming a Greek Cross.
