All things that are matter are made up of energy – little blips of light that move slower than the speed of light – something mentioned in the works of Deepak Chopra.
This energy can be thought of as living energy – this is a term I have learned from the works of James J Traitz (author of Don’t Stop you Mind). Both of these authors agree that all matter is made up of atoms; all atoms made up of electrons, neutrons and protons; these particles are made up of little bits of living energy – the little blips of light that move slower than the speed of light.
Since all things in our reality are made up of matter, then everything in our reality, including ourselves are nothing but energy (and lots of empty space). You, and all the things in your reality, are made up of small blips of light moving at less than the speed of light – that is, living energy.
This living energy that makes up all things is created from our minds that imagined what this reality must look like and how it acts. That is, conscious and unconscious intentions create the forms of energy that eventually take shape as matter in the world around us.
Now runes are included in this make up of all things. Runes are little bits of living energy that exist within all things. The thing about runes is that the living energy that makes up the runes was created in a time before time by beings that exist at a higher level of consciousness than any divinity that can be understood by mankind.
This runic energy that exists within all things, everywhere, is something that you can tap into. Runes are living bits of energy with a singular focused intention. It is this living energy that you can grasp and load into an object – like a piece of wood with a rune stave carved into it (the rune is not the carving, rather it is the energy that lives within the carving). When you do that, the piece of wood with the runic energy alive within it becomes the shaper of your new reality.
The Universal Principal of Attraction says “similarities attract and perpetuate”. Runic energy that has come to life in a piece of wood begins to reorient the energies that exist in the world around it. This energy can be of the nature of abundance, peace, prosperity, enlightenment, or any other intention you create it with. This runic energy draws people, situations, and reorients the energetic nature of the matter that exists around you (and it). All of these pieces working together create a new, energetic world in which you can build you new life.
All you have to do:
- Tap into your own living energetic intention – what do you want to create in the world
- Create the body for which this intention shall live in –a rune stave carved into wood
- Bring that intention to life with the living energy of the singularly focused intention of the rune
- Then allow the rune to work, knowing that it is working to alter the energetic nature of reality around it
Little by little, day after day you will notice your reality starting to shift.

Ei – Eiwaz (aye-wahz) is the rune of the yew tree. It is long associated with graveyard, and the realm of the dead. Eiwaz also represents the world tree Yggdrasil. This is the conduit of energy that connects all the worlds together. Traveling along this tree is one way of achieving shamanic journeying.
E – Ehwaz (eh-wahz) is the rune of the horse. It represents travel and status of the traveler. Ancient Nordic Shaman, or Seid-workers were highly revered, if not feared, for their talents. There are stories in the Norse lore about a horse being used to cross from the land of the living, into the land of the dead. This is especially true of Sleipnir, Odin’s horse. In the case of shamanic journeying, Ehwaz represents the vehicle, or means by which a person crosses the veil. It can take on the imagery of a horse, or it can simply be the energetic conversion of one’s spiritual being into a different realm.
L – Laguz (lah-gooz) is the rune of water mysteries. Tied in with Laguz is emotions and psychic abilities. Since we are dealing with a spiritual journey, words of the conscious mind are not as useful. One must tap into their emotional being in order to process and understand the energetic states they are experiencing. The depth of the water mysteries connected with Laguz allows one to tap into this energetic part of themselves so they can truly understand the spiritual nature of the realms they are traveling to.
A lifeline that will bring you back into reality, and into your own body is Mannaz. Mannaz is the rune of our world and of mankind. Singing this rune will bring you back into normal consciousness and back to Earth. The drum beat for Mannaz is three solid beats – XXX. Sing Mannaz and beat this rhythm until you feel yourself fully returned.
Another useful rune is Elhaz. If ever you feel uncomfortable, uncertain, or worse, call upon the rune of Elhaz. It is a protective rune that is connected with the higher vibrational energies of the upper world. Calling upon Elhaz will dispel all those will ill intent and will bring you to a safe place
