RUNE UR (Krumm- Heller)

Number: 2

Astrological Correspondence: Virgo

Color: Dark Violet

Stone: Jasper, Carnelian

Symbolism: Science, Comprehending

Meditation:

This Rune has as its goal, liberating the Light that has already entered our body with the FA Rune. The UR Rune carries the command “Know yourself”. We bend our body and raise our hands to polarize with the ground, we recognize that we are cosmic-terrestrial beings in our physical form and divine beings through our origin. In addition, the spine loses its erection in this position, a detail which shows that man is in repose. Man is a Deity that tries to realize himself in the materials which he has at hand.

The position of the body for this Rune makes us think of the following:

  1. The shape of the letter A is adopted with the legs.        
  2. The arms make an inverted U with the body when facing the floor.
  3. Looking at the figure from the front the shape of an M.

It is the “A U M”.  Which although not pronounced in this rune, is described with the body.

Practice Short Description:

The student should face the North or face the Sun, and once the hands are raised as in the previous exercise, one should incline oneself forward, bringing the hands facing the floor with the legs open; in this position it is necessary to think firmly that the cosmic current penetrates into the interior. Repeat the following invocation:

“WITHIN ME RESIDES THE LIGHT, THE DIVINE LIGHT. THE GREAT OMNISCIENT WILL GIVE ME DIVINE WISDOM AND I WILL TURN MYSELF INTO A SUPERMAN THROUGH MY UPRIGHT BEHAVIOR, AND THROUGH MY EQUABLE WAY OF BEING. I RECOGNIZE THAT DIVINE LIGHT IN MYSELF, THAT IS BEGINNING TO IRRADIATE AND THAT WILL UNFAILINGLY HELP ALL THOSE WHO APPROACH ME.

So be it.” 

 

Long Description:

If the previous Rune, FA, always carries that mandate to ENGENDER YOUR HAPPINESS IN THE PRESENT, then the UR Rune now carries the other mandate of KNOW YOURSELF and even RECOGNIZE YOURSELF…

The significance of this last RUNE, UR, in the Nordic Kabbalah, is immortality, Eternity, Cause, Principle, as well as primordial LIGHT.

In extending the cards – for we will also give the Runes as Tarot and each of the disciples will learn to throw cards with the Runes when it falls face down (or is reversed) it changes from signifying the Eternal, and instead is a symbol of the temporal, the ephemeral, the passing, of that which ends and finishes soon.

For the numerical correspondence, the UR Rune has the number 2 and represents the Science.

Its sign is the Zodiacal Sign of VIRGO.

VIRGO signifies an Order that is peaceful and harmonious, and anyone born under its auspices is orderly, peaceful, with harmonious desires and is, therefore, the creator of interior LIGHT.

Under the Sign of VIRGO, there are good writers, sincere priests, and excellent insurance agents.

They are people who do very well with the duties of parents and of children at the same time.

The Hebrew Kabbalah gives them a circle as a symbol and since this sign corresponds to the planet Mercury, it was considered by the ancients as the Demiurge, guide of the other planets, the representation of the Omniscient, of Trimegistus or the three times wise.

Those born, under this aspect, are self- centered in the good sense of the term and generally do not admit philosophical opinions of other people, but instead they take them from their Internal Being through which they benefit by a great inspiration.

The same thing happens to those people whose Kabalistic or Runic name forms the number 2.

This confirmation is curious in one and in another aspect, given that people who are kabalistically centered in 2, were precisely born in VIRGO and under Mercury. That is why Astrologers should complete their astrological calculus using the Numerical Kabbalah.

PRACTICE:

The student should place themselves to the north or facing the Sun and once having raised the hands as in the exercise for the FA Rune, crouch down with the legs open; and in this position, firmly think that thus the cosmic current penetrates into one’s interior and repeat in this way:

“Within me resides the LIGHT, the divine LIGHT. The Great Omniscient will give me divine Wisdom and I will turn myself into a superman (or superwoman), drawing everyone’s attention to my upright behavior, to my equable way of being, and to my awakened and wise answers when others interrogate me.

I recognize the superior entity, that divine LIGHT, in myself, who is beginning to irradiate and who will unfailingly to help all those who approach me. So be it.“
