RUNE Rita (Krumm-Heller)
Number: 5
Astrological Correspondence: Jupiter
Color: Blue, Violet
Stone: Lapis Lazuli, Carnelian
Symbolism: Religion, Understanding, Law
Meditation:
The RITA Rune impresses itself upon the positive part, the masculine part. It exerts its influence on the glands of internal secretion and on the male hormones. It is under the influence of Jupiter: the personality and the Being. To move forward in the sanctuary of the mysteries of the supra-physical world we need the Law. The realization of the RITA Rune awakens the internal consciousness (or the conscience of the Being) so that it proceeds within the laws of justice.
Before, justice and its application were linked to religion. The practices of the RITA Rune give personal independence, so that the disciples have to sense themselves above human laws, intimately united with the divinity, since this is the Law itself, the power, the Light that shines within the disciple, being their only Judge, Lord, Guide and Master.
Short Practice Description:
Standing up, the left arm makes a handle with the hand at the waist. The left leg opens to the side, with the suspended foot suspended from the ground. Then syllables are pronounced “Ra, Re, Ri, Ro, Ru” seven times.
Long Description:
The Rose Cross disciples, who for years have had this preparation by reading the good Theosophical works and have subsequently verified the practices of the various Hermetic courses, have their organism free from complex barriers and obstacles and can with more clarity than others hear that divine voice within ourselves.
Similarly, the practices of this RITA Rune will serve them in order to achieve a certain personal independence, through which they must feel above Human Laws, intimately connected to their God, who is no longer an entity that dwells transposing the dense veil of the clouds, but the Law itself, the Power, the Light that blazes within them, being their only Judge, their only Lord, their only Guide and Master.
The numerical value of this Rune is 5 and, consequently, it symbolizes the Five-pointed Star. The syllables: Ra… Re… Ri… Ro… Ru… must be pronounced rhythmically.
In the F [or the Fa] Rune we had to raise our arms.
In the U [or the Ur Rune] we opened our legs.
In the D [or the Dorn, Thorn or Torn Rune] we put an arm on the waist.
In the O [or the Os, Othil, or Olin Runes] the legs were opened and the arms were on the waist and in the present Runic exercise, we have to open one leg and one arm and in this position, one must vocalize, pronouncing the previous syllables.
With these positions one will see that the disciples are the Runes themselves, just as they are written.
The disciples who have done this great course have already felt all the forces of these Runes in their vocalization practices.
