This work is the first systematic introduction to Runelore available in many
centuries. This age requires and allows some new approaches to be sure. We
have changed over the centuries in question. But at the same time we are as
traditional as possible. The Gild does not fear innovation - in fact we embrace
it - but only after the tradition has been thoroughly examined for all it has to
offer. Too often in the history of the runic revival various proponents have
actually taken their preconceived notions about what the Runes should say- and
then "runicized" them. We avoid this type of pseudo-innovation at all costs.
Our over-all magical method is a simple one. The tradition posits an outerworld (objective reality) and an inner-world (subjective reality). The work of the
Runer is the exploration of both of these worlds for what they have to offer in
the search for wisdom. In learning the Runes, the Runer synthesizes all the
objective lore and tradition he can find on the Runes with his subjective
experience. In this way he "makes the Runes his own." All the Runes and their
overall system are then used as a sort of "meta-Ianguage" in meaningful
communication between these objective and subjective realities. The Runer may
wish to be active in this communication - to cause changes to occur in
accordance with his will, or he may wish to learn from one of these realities
some information which would normally be hidden from him. This is magic and
divination respectively. Never is the Runer totally passive, because despite the
existence of these two realities, the runic fact is that the Runer lives in a third
state (at least when he is fully aware) in the Self - which is capable of
observing what is generally called both the subjective and objective universes
from an omrujective viewpoint.
Most simply put, the work of the Nine Doors is that learning of the Runes
and using them in self-directed and conscious work in a traditional framework
which can be evaluated by the Gild-Masters. |
