Runes may be used in spell work to form words or to evoke images, and thus enhance energies. To empower a stang (a two or three-pronged staff used as walking stick and portable altar), pass it through a fire and sprinkle it with the symbols of the elementals: salt, smoke, flame, and water. Engrave on the stang the symbol of possession, the rune Ethel (o). Beneath it, create a monogram of your craft name. Next, place the symbols of the Lady and the Lord, the runes Beorc (b) and Os (a), at either side of your name. Then connect them all with the symbol of endurance, the rune Eoh (c). Finally, decorate other portions of the stang with the symbols of protection, the rune Thorn (u), and joy, the rune Wynn (w). |
