The Rune NOD

by Karl Hans Welz

THE   RUNE   N O D

"An eighth one is mine, quite useful to hear
For all the people in danger and need.
Where hate should arise from man against man
This I settle fast!

The symbolism of the stanza of NOD points out that NOD is the Rune of karma, of karmic need and of karmic debt.  With NOD you will be capable of recognizing karma by viewing it from the creative realms.  It is evident that such a perspective leads to the skill to overcome karma.

The power of NOD is a very profound one.  It takes a high stage of your personal evolution to have to power of overcoming karma and of setting actually determining your karma.

In the mythology of the North NOD is one of the Runes of the Norns.  The Norns are goddesses who are spinning the threads of destiny, or karma.  Therefore to be capable of working with NOD means to be capable of evoking the Norns.  To be capable of such an operation, the Rune Master needs to have gained a thorough understanding of what karma means.  Otherwise such an evocation will invariably cause problems.  The Rune Master will gain this understanding by acquiring an appropriate mapping, or insight, of TIME in which DESTINY is EMBEDDED.

NOD allows you to gain an understanding of destiny and of time.  Therefore NOD helps you to gain access to the realms of the Norns.  To try to gain access to the realms of the Norns before you have gained the necessary understanding of NOD may bring some serious problems.  In most cases, though, the Norns will smilingly forgive the person who tries to approach them unprepared.  However, if such approach is attempted with negative, or unethical, attitude, then whatever the operator projects will inevitable backlash against him or her in karmic determinism and structuring.

At your present state of evolution, NOD allows you to recognize the reasons for your present karma.  Consequently you will be able to work with it and eventually overcome it.  NOD will give you memories of events that shaped your karma, present and past lives.  It will give you insights in events that were significant for the shaping of your present karma.  NOD also can help you overcome bad karma and change your destiny for the better.  At this stage, NOD is likely to help you accept your present karma and to make the best of it.  Read and murmur the Song of NOD to understand.  In addition, set up meditation practices with NOD in a ceremonial setting.

It is appropriate for this lesson to practice the following rituals that will change your destiny toward the better.  You may use these rituals to help others.

FA is at the beginning of this new venture.  It draws the fire of the beginning.
SIG provides you with the attitude of a victorious person.
MAN brings you in touch with your Higher Self, which transcend karma-subjected space-time.

TYR gives success without your attachment to it.

THE SONG OF NOD

NOD -- Today I begin to dissolve my karmic ties.
NOD -- An eighth one is mine:  Quite useful to hear
For all the people in danger and need.
Should hatred arise between man and man:
This I settle fast.
NOD -- Rune of the Norn who spins the threads of destiny.  Rune of karmic ties which I can dissolve when I am aware of my powers as a Rune Master.
NOD -- More and more I am aware of my karmic debts in my lives, and what these debts signify.  I am looking forward to settle all my accounts so that I can progress unencumbered by old karmic debts.  I can settle these accounts not the way my old ego did who was helplessly exposed to blind fate and time, but I am settling these accounts as a new person who is working knowingly in the network of karma and time, which I am understanding better with every new day.  I am getting the best results out of settling these old karmic accounts.
NOD -- Rune of karmic need that makes me aware of what I perform best in this present life.  It gives me insights of how I make the best use of the tremendous potentials that my karma contains.
NOD -- Rune of karmic law which I accept and which governs and structures my life and actions . . . and which I am increasingly capable to structure.  I am aware of Divine justice which balances.  I give and I receive.
NOD -- karmic law brought me to participate in Runic work, to become again part of the Great, Time-less Brotherhood of Rune Masters, of which I am a member, past, present, and future.
NOD -- I am aware that by being conscious of my karmic debts, discord, hostility, and hate can be overcome.
NOD -- It leads me to truth and to be part of a Great Cosmic Order.
NOD -- From now on out, I am using my karma, I am fighting it no longer.  I am living my karma consciously.  Awakening in NOD awakens my new powers within myself; it opens the hidden channel within my heart, and I am open to the voice of the Creator of the worlds.  NOD brings me the protection of spiritual realms.  AEPANDI NAM.
NOD -- With NOD I am capable to penetrate the webs of fate and times, I am capable to recognize my destinies, and, most important, to experience how my destiny is shaped.  Visions will come to me which, at first, can be flash backs, and which will develop into memories of the past lives later, and into memories of potential past and future destinies.
NOD -- As a result, I am longer exposed to blind destiny as it comes to me, and I am capable of shaping this destiny.  Instead of fighting karma, I am able to consciously live it, and, with the Rune of the Norn, to responsibly shape it.  More and more I am master of my karma.
