“A Judo of the Spirit exists; we are referring to the Runic exercises; these are formidable for the awakening of the Consciousness. Whosoever wants to work with this judo must begin with the rune of Mercury, which has a violet color that originates extraordinary cosmic forces. Therefore, it is necessary to know that this aforesaid Nordic rune encloses in itself the whole potency and impulse for fecundity. We need the Fohat’s breath, the Pentecostal sparks, in order to fecundate our own psyche, in order for us to become self-conscious. If we analyze the practices of the Rune FAH, we can affirm that Pranayama, prayer, meditation and a specific sacred posture exist within them.”
-Samael Aun Weor, Esoteric Course in Runic Magic
“FA… encloses in itself all the force, all the energy of Fecundity in the absolute sense of the word. Try, Oh Disciple! to fecundate all your success and all your happiness with this energy and it will come to you in the nocturnal silence of your spiritual night like precious gifts.”
-Arnold Krumm-Heller (Huiracocha)
“When we get out of bed, with immense happiness we must salute each new day by raising our arms towards, the Sun-Christ, our Lord, in such a way that the left arm is a little more elevated than the right one, and that the palms of our hands must remain before the light in that ineffable and sublime attitude of one who really yearns to receive the solar rays. This is the sacred posture of the rune Fa.
Once like this, we will work with Pranayama, inhaling the air through the nose and exhaling it through the mouth in a rhythmical way and with much faith. Let us imagine in those instants that the light of the Sun-Christ enters within us through the fingers of our hands, circulates through our arms, inundates our entire organism, until it reaches the consciousness and stimulates it, awakens it, and calls it into activity. In the mysterious and divine nights practice this runic judo before the starry sky of Urania, and with the same posture, pray. This short and great prayer can and must be prayed with all of our heart, as many times as we want.”
-Samael Aun Weor, Esoteric Course in Runic Magic
The rune FA is a Sun salutation to receive help, protection, and inspiration from the great Solar Logos, the cosmic fire, the active force of light within everything. It is excellent to greet the Sun rising in the morning, saluting the beginning of a new day and its possibilities. With this practice we receive the solar light into the chakras, or energy gateways, of the hands, through the arms and into the heart.
Fire is the potency of the sexual force, the drive and impetus within our bodies. Fire can be directed in useful or destructive ways, but it can never be put out. With this rune we can initiate each day with a devotion to the Solar Logos with courage and strength, and burn away laziness and confusion. We can use this rune practice to strengthen the Essence with devotion and transmutation and feel a deeper connection to our inner Being.
