Interpretation of the Eyvaz rune (K. Selchenok). Runes. Astrological interpretation of the Selchenok runes to runes and astrology

* This rune demonstrates the difference between the exoteric and esoteric approaches. The Laguz rune symbolizes water and flow. And this is her main secret. Many people who are not familiar with the tradition attribute to it the properties of Neptune, the elements of water, and sometimes Cancer and Pisces. In fact, this rune corresponds to Mercury, the great deceiver. It is a mistake to consider this principle superficially - as reason, mind, intellect. This principle hides many pitfalls. It is in the temptation of Mercury that many of the troubles of modern civilization lie. In an overly serious, naive and overly reverent attitude to the word. Mercury is truly a flow, it is truly water. It’s not without reason that they say: when a person talks a lot, he “pours water.”

SYMBOLIC FIELD

Flow of life (3rd and 6th astrological houses: minor growth and renewal).

Love, intuition, emotions as resistance to the temptations of Mercury. Only with the help of love, only with the help of refined intuition and only by trusting one’s emotions and one’s experiences can a person avoid the temptations of reason. Only by relying on the life of feeling is it possible to overcome the limitations of mental models. Only in his heart can a person feel the fallacy and falsity of certain rational institutions, and comprehend what is hidden behind Mercury. Mercury hides more than it explains. It declares more than it actually contains. Reason imagines itself to be the main principle of life and claims primacy in relation to other mental processes and phenomena.

Well-being is the result of contact with the Life Force. Increased prosperity through ingenuity, i.e. through the ability to follow the flow of life. This element is under the protection of Hermes. He supports scammers, thieves and manages the processes of skillful redistribution of wealth.

“It’s not difficult to deceive me, I’m happy to be deceived myself.” The great temptation of Mercury lies in the ability to lead people where they subconsciously already want to go. This is the phenomenon of fraud, theft, deception as such. There are no such scammers who would deceive a completely honest person. A fraudster deceives a fraudster like himself.

More often than others, those who consider themselves very smart are deceived. Anyone who trusts his thinking and does not rely on intuition sooner or later finds himself a victim of deception. Those who consider themselves not to be deceived are deceived - this is the great truth about lies.

A person must be prepared for the fact that everything he knows will not be what he would like to see, and, accordingly, for a revision of the picture of the world. At any moment, life can cancel old descriptions, ideas and give a clearer and clearer picture of the world.

Manipulators and scammers operate within the reality of the person they are deceiving. They subtly capture internal preferences and cleverly manipulate them (usually what we can be “buyed” with can be seen in our faces). Psychotherapy is built on this phenomenon. An experienced psychotherapist determines what the client wants not by words, but by reactions (behavior, mood, intonation). In fact, this is the art of healing the soul, the art of leading people, the so-called spiritual teaching: people get what they strive for. And nothing more than that. If a person is given something that he does not like, based on his current ideas, the person begins to resist, get nervous, he begins to reject knowledge that threatens what he already has. And that is why many spiritual teachers give what their students want to hear. Many mentors turn out to be quasi-mentors, because... they give what the mentee wants to see, know, hear, feel. Such are the temptations of reason, the temptations of prejudice.

In fact, we are dealing with superstition. With faith acquired in vain, shallow, superficial, not rooted in true values, in the depths of the soul; with unreal faith, faith, faith. It is this belief that determines many relationships between people. Genuine intimate relationships, truly high and productive, are rather the exception. Basically, the Laguz rune, the rune of water, flow, mentality and deception, operates in society. However, this does not mean at all that having pulled out the Laguz rune, all events associated with it should be considered deception or an illusion.

Laguz symbolizes an incorrect understanding of what is happening, associated with erroneous rational models. The great means of communication between people, human language (which is also the prerogative of Hermes), is designed as if specifically for deception. He is able to connect together what is not necessarily cause and effect, but subjectively people perceive such constructions as evidential. We want to believe that these things are connected to each other. We are too accustomed to the connection in our minds of everything with everything to resist such constructions. And the manipulator takes advantage of this. You just need to catch, smell, hear what the soul of your interlocutor unconsciously strives for - and direct it there.

An experienced person does not trust words. He trusts his feelings, that inner feeling of truth, which is never final, which always suffers from a modicum of doubt. But besides this, a person has no criteria at all. And the more mature and significant he becomes, the less he trusts words, phrases, statements, arguments. Human maturity is associated with disbelief in words and trust in vibration, emotion, intonation. Slogans can be beautiful and at the same time hide banal self-interest.

In life, we often encounter a situation where, as psychologists say, the speaker is congruent. He imperatively talks some nonsense, and we believe his words. Why? Because the practice of social life proves to us: a person who is convinced of his words is already right. Although in fact this quality is the result of ordinary psychotechnical training.

The path of reason is tortuous. And if you are led in a straight line, then the devil is leading you. The line of reasoning itself is subject to constant interruptions of gradualism. It is human nature to doubt, to search, to contradict, because this is the structure of language. The structure of human speech contains oppositions, contrasts, inconsistencies, inaccuracies, and ambiguities. And if someone wants to achieve ideal harmony from the language, build a consistent model of the world, describe the world consistently, unified, holistically, consistently, then he will definitely fall into the pit of stupidity. Having missed the opportunity to intuitively assess the truth, he will certainly fall into the sin of philosophizing. It seems to people that the more reasoned the premises, the more harmoniously connected the words, the truer they are. In fact, the orderliness of such verbal series only indicates an attempt to persuade, that is, to force one to accept what the persuader needs.

In this sense, the very image of the Laguz rune - a half-arrow - is indicative. She points in the direction, but as if not completely, as if not quite right. Everything seems to be going according to plan. And suddenly an opportunity arises to make a turn on the path. This possibility of evasion on the path is present in the rune itself and in the intellect itself. It contains hidden contradictions (which require an eye and an eye), it contains the possibility of error, even if we try to be impeccably strict in our judgments and logical constructions.

The image of the rune looks like a gaff or hook. Moreover, this hook can be used both for fishing and for artistic knitting and knitting. And what is the speech of an orator if not a skillful script with which the weak human soul is entangled?

The main imperative of the Laguz rune is very simple: without experiencing the truth cannot be found.

The art of living, understanding, and acting lies not in the ability to speak, but in the ability to feel. Laguz requires the education of sensations, feelings, conscience, and intuition. If we rely on books, teachers, etc., then we are already subject to temptation, because we deprive ourselves of the opportunity to verify what is said, we are deprived of a touchstone.

People rely on anyone but themselves. They do not learn to stand on both legs, because they do not like to learn, but like to accept everything ready-made. They do not like to earn experience at the cost of their mistakes, they do not like suffering, because they are confident that suffering is unnecessary. They do not want to understand that every difficulty is an opportunity to gain experience. And then they get offended when others deceive them. Why be surprised? After all, they themselves created the supply by demand for truth brought by someone from the outside, and not smelted in the heart during their own reasoning.

Only holy behavior is a defense against unscrupulous people. Only sincere light, life in inner truth is a guarantee that no one will deceive a person. However, people are accustomed to relying on the word. And the result is evasion upon evasion, half-truth upon half-truth, and deception upon deception. And therefore the statement of the esotericists naturally becomes understandable: “There is no support in the external world.” This statement is rarely taken seriously. People think that a solid foundation is the true long-term support. They do not understand that the only human support is in the heart. The only affirming stone is the depths of intuition. The only place where we can be safe is our own soul. The world is an illusion. The products of reason, civilization, and mentality are thoroughly laguz. This is how human life works. And if you do not develop in yourself the criterion of truth, if you do not learn to develop intuition, then it is quite natural to find yourself captive to all kinds of concepts and doctrines.

Omissions, half-truths, and bias are effective forms of lying. Bias often appears under the guise of emphasizing certain points. Manipulators use drawing attention to individual parts, to individual moments, thereby distorting the holistic and systemic vision, destabilizing it and then leading it in the right direction.

People expect only what they have already accepted within themselves. However, they are often afraid of getting what they expect. And this human fear of the possibility of certain events occurring allows us to manipulate them, because It is very easy and convenient to appeal to fear. “You don’t need a knife to kill a fool...” Human prejudice is rooted in elementary atheism. People constantly simulate all kinds of situations and choose from such models those that suit them. They fall into the trap of expectations, anticipations, prejudices and close themselves off from reality. They brush aside intuition and look with all their eyes and ears for confirmation of what they expected - and find it. Esoterically, this phenomenon is expressed by the saying: “Whoever is afraid of something will happen to him.”

A person who is very afraid of something begins to behave in such a way that he himself falls into a trap, and then says: “I knew it.” Thus, he receives the main reward - confirmation of his own “insight.”

The temptation of Laguz also lies in excessive trust in objectivity. People who do not develop intuition strive to find support. And this is understandable: thinking itself is fluid and iridescent, chaotic and amorphous, so it is in a hurry to gain a foothold on something. And people get used to trusting what is objective, what can be touched. However, excessive trust in “objectivity” sooner or later paralyzes our choice: we are unable to distinguish between truth and lies, we are suppressed by this objectivity. It is convincing for us, since we are not used to relying on intuition. We are suppressed by objectivity because we prefer external evidence to intuition.

This excessive reliance on objectivity carries over into words. The words are familiar, familiar. And it seems to us that the word is something real and worthwhile. However, poets, writers, philosophers know how easily a word is controlled, how easily it flows, deforms, distorts, bends. But we trust words everywhere, the words of others and our own. There is an internal conversation going on inside of us all the time. We support our own being with words, not realizing that we can be wrong in them. For example, a woman constantly convinces herself: “I’m ugly, I’m ugly...” and gets used to the sound of these words. Although she's actually quite good. But the word enslaved her and destroyed her. It became some strange part of herself.

When imposed, the word changes physical features. The body really becomes different. And the person suffers, yearns under his own oppression. The culprit is the habit of repeating the same words. It is difficult for a person to change them due to some strange stereotype: since I said it, I will continue to adhere to what I said. People don’t want to change opinions, positions, they don’t want to flow and change. They love granite, rockiness, concreteness - all the same excessive trust in objectivity. And only when a person understands that he is ephemeral, and life is continuous, then he calmly treats both himself and words. He knows that in the morning he will wake up as a completely new person, and in a few weeks he will become a completely different person. What will happen in a year? Who knows... When such experiences settle in a person, it means that words no longer have power over him. He does not trust the “objective” assessments of other people, because they can also be wrong. Such a person is no longer satisfied with average standards and criteria. He does not trust quantitative, mass authority.

Authority is mass, quantity, supposedly representing quality. In fact, quality can only be present in our own soul. Constantly acquiring new ideas, sensations, understandings, a person must learn to abandon them in favor of a more developed, subtle, perfect one, for the sake of gaining a better understanding.

It is difficult to put such a person on a chain of definitions. It is fluid, elusive, blurred in space, like a wave. And therefore free. The only criterion of truth for him is himself. There is no ego pride in this, but attention to experiences. This is how deeply the element of water is hidden in the mercurial Laguz. But do not forget that the same Mercury is on the surface.

An unstable ship will lead to death. Therefore, a person must be able to swim himself, no matter how good the ship he has. People who cannot swim are not taken into the sea. At any moment the ship could be holed. And then... Words are such a ship. Unfortunately, in many cases people depend on this "floating suitcase". They do not pay attention to the development of nonverbal experiences and nonverbal presentations of truth. And yet you will have to work on creating an experience of truth in yourself. Flow, water flows, changes, develops non-stop. And no mercurial dam can stop him. A person is free to become such a flow. And then he will learn to cope with any difficulties and deceptions, because it is impossible to deceive someone who does not trust anyone (in a good way).

Subconscious preferences are always exploited. Therefore, we must be very careful about what we really want. Understanding your own desires requires inner honesty. This is what protects you from manipulators. The most deceived are suspicious people who do not know themselves. It is very difficult to manipulate a person who knows his weaknesses, who has studied himself deeply.

Self-knowledge turns out to be an excellent means of protection from unscrupulous people. Manipulators focus on what we seem to have no idea about, but what we secretly strive for. The more a person gets to know himself, the more difficult it is to hook him with Laguz. Inner honesty and openness are a wonderful shield against any attempts to allow yourself to be used.

True security depends on the quality of inner honesty.

People tend to use certain forms of manipulation, subconsciously enlightening each other. A person who wants to manipulate may not realize how subtle and complex the whole process is. In his mind, only the task of coercing, coercing, evading is alive. And then a mysterious process of interaction between two subconscious minds occurs. And if we are not cleaned inside, if we do not know ourselves, then we will almost certainly find ourselves a victim of such a hunter.

A person who passionately wants to steer us in the direction he wants will achieve his goal. There can be only one resistance to it: to study ourselves, what we really want, how seriously or frivolously we take ourselves, how great our sense of self-worth is. Without such work we are defenseless. Apart from internal honesty, there is simply no other defense against manipulators. People are prone to subconscious manipulation, because society, whether we want to admit it or not, is based on lies and mutual deception. This is due to many factors: the structure of language, the nature of life, the need for a superficial balance of interests, etc. A person who does not study himself automatically falls into the chains of the social subconscious.

The ship of the mind must be stable and controllable. A person must be able to think in different directions. Thought is a tool, a means, an instrument in our hands. However, we view our own mental constructs as a reality that we have to deal with. This is a mistake associated with a misunderstanding of Laguz. The ship of the mind must be easy to control and direct. But God forbid you turn into a slave chained to this ship. We must be captains. It's easy to say and not easy to do. But it is useful for us to at least know about the very possibility of changing the direction of the mind. The simplest exercise is to try to prove something to someone. And after a while, with the same diligence, prove the opposite and analyze what is happening to you at this moment.

Esotericists believe that a certain real figure lives in a person, which is conventionally called the “Builder of Arguments.” When we try to prove something, it’s like we let the dog go ahead: “Bite him!”

Man must become the master of reason. He must learn to prove to anyone and anything, but only in order to understand the mechanism of mental manipulation and thus feel where the truth is and where the lie is. Sometimes it feels like the human psyche functions with the help of words, apart from which there is nothing else in it. But when you start practicing, some kind of intuitive Priest behind the Argument Builder suddenly appears inside. He can see what the trickster Hermes is doing. We must tune in to the second figure, feel it, understand it. This is difficult because the picture of the world collapses and guidelines are lost. The search for the intuitive Priest within oneself does not happen immediately; the result manifests itself slowly, year after year.

If a person wants to live happily, he is forced to go in search of an intuitive Priest. In ordinary life it is very difficult to follow this path, because it is a path deep into oneself. Because one feels one’s own plurality: there is a Builder of Arguments, and there is a Sage who knows everything. And at what moment we suddenly discover that a wise Priest also tends to make mistakes. But we can still wake him up, keep a ray of attention on him and see what really is. The argument builder is in the business of justifying our sins. It closes our eyes to many truths, makes us passive and aggressive. The path is difficult, but without an unbiased consideration of one’s own depths, it is useless to count on finding the truth.

Laguz may be the most terrible rune. It questions our entire lives. Upon closer examination, our existence turns out to be ordinary black magic. (Let us recall its definition: black magic is hidden influence for the purpose of obtaining personal gain.) And because we, in ignorance, rely on our own reliability, this does not change the state of affairs. When esotericists talk about the need to overcome lies, they are primarily talking about self-deception, about getting rid of the illusion of impeccability and constant truthfulness. A person must understand when he is truthful and when he is not. Only with this can the path to truth begin, the path inward, the path upward. For those who wear blinders will never see the light.

When Laguz comes, the first thing we need to do is relax and reassess the situation, remembering that we only find what we are looking for. There is a very good criterion that is used by many seekers of truth. Hidden behind the Priest is another figure, symbolizing the will in man, the highest spiritual principle. This is the so-called Doer. And if we live correctly and move towards the light, then this Doer is truly joyful. If we can calmly look into this feeling and separate it from external unpleasant experiences, if the Doer wants to move further along this painful and difficult path, then we are really moving towards ourselves.

REVERSE LAGUZ

The situation is misunderstood. It is necessary to radically change the criteria for assessing the situation.

The danger of over-reliance on one's own opinions.

The temptation of the easy way and theft. You can stray from the truth and take the path of least resistance. Thus, the life of the Spirit is extinguished in you. You may become unhappy.

Distress and loss in case of reverse Laguz are associated with the poor quality of the acquisition. This means we went in the wrong direction or picked up extra things we didn’t need. In the words of A. Tarkovsky, “they committed a sin, which is excess.”

METAPHORS OF LAGUZ

Cartoon "Hedgehog in the Fog" - finding a life path, strategy, mission.

Sailing ship. The metaphor symbolizes forward movement on water, at the same time easy and irresistible, purposeful and leisurely.

A technique used in A. Tarkovsky’s films: slow camera zoom. A unique esoteric find by an artist who managed to convey the movable real estate of the world.

CHARACTERS OF LAGUZ

Professional psychotherapist.

Ostap Bender. His highest seriousness was that he did not take anything seriously.

Count Cagliostro, who used the first rule of the wizard.

MANTIC MEANINGS DIRECT LAGUZ

Situation: call of life.
Challenge: connecting to the natural course of things.
Caution: superficial rationalizations.
Directions: Feel what is happening with all possible senses.
Advice: you can allow yourself everything that is not prohibited.
Consolation: Trust your irrational intuition.

MANTIC MEANINGS REVERSE LAGUZ

Situation: rapids on the river.
Challenge: Maintain integrity.
Caution: rigid fixation of attention on one thing.
Instruction: do not force events with specific actions.
Advice: it is necessary to maintain internal balance.
Consolation: most of the coming trials are empty phantoms.

A person is truly protected when he is not personally interested in what is happening. The highest quality of impersonality is the key to all achievements. Personal interest, partiality, prejudice, construction of expectations and arguments are the prerogative of the mental part of the Ego. To master the key to freedom from being controlled, to overcoming susceptibility to external influences, it is necessary to analyze your own interest. As long as it remains without our attention, we are almost certainly being played to the extent that we are personally interested.

Non-oppressive pedagogy

We will look at the sources that feed people’s false ideas about the process of acquiring knowledge, skills, and abilities. Let's try to find out what is connected with the incorrect perception of the practice of education and training as a harsh, violent procedure that exists in society. Let's explore the roots of this problem.

Let's delve quite seriously into why all this is happening, and most importantly, what to do with all this. How, first, to change at least your own being, your worldview and personal relationships. And if we want to engage in self-education, then this is also pedagogy in a certain sense.

Therefore, it makes sense to become familiar with the non-repressive principles of non-violence pedagogy and, if possible, to become deeply imbued with them.

Methodology of esoteric medicine

It is very difficult to write about a subject about which virtually none of our contemporaries know anything. It is very difficult to talk about an entire system of knowledge that has existed since ancient times and to this day in a hidden, as if sealed, form. And yet it is necessary to write about this, because... The New Time is coming, there is a radical breakdown in man’s habitual ideas about himself and about the worlds surrounding him and contained within himself.

The author sincerely thanks those who helped him become acquainted with the amazing system of Secret Medicine, who introduced him to the holy of holies of the Art of Healing. The author is grateful to all those who helped him both in dialogues and in clashes, to all those who know about Esoteric Medicine not with their minds, but with their hearts. Finally, the author is grateful to the Reader who holds this book in his hands and is ready to begin searching for meaning in its pages. And God forbid this work will not be in vain!

Psychological support for health-improving activities

This project summarizes the cycle of theoretical research and practical developments carried out by the author in 1988-2000. Their content and results are reflected in 16 published monographic works and 19 anthologies (see list of publications on the research topic).

The developed methods were tested at the Faculty of Psychological Counseling of Aquarium University. They were introduced into the practice of a number of public associations, medical and preventive institutions and sports and recreation centers in the years. Anyksciai, Vilnius, Gomel, Kaunas, Minsk, Mogilev, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Tolyatti and Trakai.

Ancient medicine of the future

Everyone knows the phrase attributed to many thinkers: “There is nothing more practical than a good theory.” The statement would seem to be more than trivial, but few people seriously think about its essence, much less effectively and consciously apply it when organizing their own activities.

It is not so easy for a modern person, seduced by technical progress and crushed by the power of ubiquitous technologies, to believe that practice is not at all a set of algorithms, operations and actions, but necessarily includes in its very being a deep understanding of the essence of what is happening and being produced.

In pedagogy, psychotherapy and healing, this understanding unfolds in the process of joint meditation with a partner, interlocutor, client. And without such a broad vision of the place of one’s own actions in the context of the living reality of what is happening, success is not easy to achieve, at least in the field of esoteric healing.

Secrets of Eastern Medicine

There is no science that is closer to the life of every person and at the same time more complex, constantly developing and therefore not always accessible to the understanding of a layman than medicine. Interest in medicine, as well as in its history, has never been as great as in recent decades.

Changes in the life of society always affect the state of medical science. Everything that happens to humanity in its historical movement towards an ever greater understanding of the laws governing nature and people is invariably reflected in the theories of medical science and in the practical system.

Fate and will

Fate. Freedom. Will... These are fundamental ideas, regardless of personal confessions, that concern everyone and everything. They contain the idea of ​​responsibility to others and the right to understand the organization of life. Have you ever thought that all the problems and questions regarding fate and fate are incessantly insoluble? This is an eternal secret. This is the original philosophical paradox - fate and will, freedom and responsibility, readiness and submission.

But the trouble is that we still have to figure this mystery out. For depending on how we understand our own personal relationships to fate, freedom and will, we build our lives. Moreover, along with our own lives, we are forced to build the lives of those around us. So from a universal point of view, fate is a Mystery. But this Secret must be known to us, otherwise we will not live our lives as we should.

Psychology of religion and mysticism

The proposed collection of works presents to the inquisitive reader many original approaches to the study of the causes and mechanisms of a person’s active manifestation of attention to certain mysterious areas of his own inner world.

A mystical journey is always mysterious in that even the traveler himself probably knows nothing about it, while those who return from distant internal wanderings invariably amaze those around them with very real changes in their own behavior and thinking associated with some kind of internal transformation. The very nature of religious quests is paradoxical: we strive for the beyond, desiring and fearing it at the same time.

Psychosomatics, the relationship between psyche and health

The author's materials, combined in the anthology offered to your attention, are devoted to one of the most fundamental problems of human science - understanding the unity and interconnections of the bodily and mental aspects of human nature.

Psychosomatic issues are actually a border zone in which all human sciences are represented, from experimental medicine to social psychology.

Psychospiritual self-healing

This is not a scientific article or an academic treatise. Perhaps the language and content of this material will be unexpected and unusual for many. But still, it is for you, fellow practitioners. Today, many people talk about strengthening and maintaining health.

We will talk about the main way to restore and increase the health of children. Of course, the limited volume will only allow us to outline, designate, outline the directions of efforts and areas of action of the teacher in instilling in the child the skills of effective self-healing. But if the path is clear and well considered, it is not difficult to follow it yourself.

Psychology of dreams

Against his will, every person spends a good third of his life sleeping. However, during this third we all continue to live. Even if in a modified form, our psyche continues to actively function. Let the unconscious sometimes express itself in an incomprehensible, but still very creative way.

Even if sometimes we don’t dream, we still wake up slightly changed. Understanding the psychological patterns in accordance with which dreams are ordered and developed is an integral part of the general psychological culture of modern man.

Mind control and methods of personality suppression

The most terrible sin is betrayal. This is the verdict of all cultures, all religions, all peoples. The worst betrayal is betraying yourself. Even more terrible is teaching others the art of betraying themselves and others. But what can a young man do if everyone around him is constantly and tirelessly teaching him not to be himself!

The overwhelming (literally!) majority of fellow citizens quite seriously consider the loss of personal identity as the main condition for successful cohabitation. Husbands and wives remake each other in their own way, teachers distort the student’s psyche. And rulers are so successful in modifying the behavior of their subjects that they become like primitive mechanical toys. One of the most frightening syndromes of mental illness - depersonalization - in fact turns out to be an imperative requirement for anyone who is going to get along with their own kind.

No wonder the brilliant K.-G. Jung described the cultural and psychological situation of modern man in discouragingly gloomy tones: “He who really strives to cultivate his own individuality is obliged to pretend to others that he agrees with their regulations and rules in everything. Otherwise, he will simply not be allowed to achieve his desired goal and become yourself."

Psychology of human aggression

The words closest in meaning to the term “aggression” are the following: attack, capture, crossing borders, violence, manifestation of hostility, threat and implementation of belligerence. Since ancient times, humanity has shown interest in the phenomenon of aggression. This is especially true for representatives of the ruling classes, from century to century concerned with the practice of governing their subjects and strategies for the targeted education of law-abiding and executive members of society.

And in our time, aggression is the subject of active scientific and practical research. Every year, hundreds of articles and dozens of monographs are published on various issues of stimulating and curbing aggression using a variety of methods: from psychotropic drugs to psychotechnologies for covert control of the ideological orientations of entire population groups.

The world of human problems

The information explosion, which over the past decades has brought down avalanches of information on the heads of contemporaries, makes it significantly difficult not only for non-specialists, but also for professionals to become familiar with the most important materials in practical terms. Moreover, the wider the range of interests of the practical reader, the more difficult it is for him to find in thousands of books, brochures and magazines exactly the information that gives the necessary and sufficient understanding of a specific problem.

The above explains the reasons for the hitherto unprecedented popularity of encyclopedic dictionaries, abstract publications and anthologies. People strive to receive information in a condensed, concentrated form, without wasting time studying multi-volume publications or studying several dozen sources on each narrow issue. Understanding this, the compiler sought to select texts for this anthology that would collectively give a broad view of the problems of applied soul science.

Psychology of sexual deviations

The materials in this anthology are dedicated to one of the most mysterious and, for many, frightening areas of human existence. Unconventional sexual behavior in all centuries has simultaneously frightened and attracted the attention of millions of people.

Many ancient rituals unfolded with symbolic or actual reference to intercourse with animals or homosexual intercourse. Many thinkers and poets have devoted considerable time to thinking about the mysterious phenomenon of love for another, unlike anything known.

Psychology of Death and Dying

Whether we want to admit it to ourselves or not, the themes of death, dying and postmortem existence are extremely relevant for everyone living. This is fair, if only because sooner or later we will all have to leave this world and go beyond the boundaries of earthly existence.

Despite the active interest of many in this most important problem of interest to people, the available literature in Russian devoted to the problem of completing the earthly journey is very fragmentary and incomplete. First of all, this is due to the fact that the problem of death itself is very multifaceted and multi-level.

Carl Gustav Jung. Mosaic of the Soul

Carl-Gustav Jung was born on July 26, 1875 in Keeswil, Switzerland, near Lake Constance. His paternal grandfather, after whom he was named, moved here from Germany in 1822, when Alexander von Humboldt secured for him a position as professor of surgery at the University of Basel. His father, Johann Paul Achilles Jung (1812-1896), was a priest, and his mother, Emilia Preiswerk Jung (1848-1923), came from an old Basel family.

When the boy was four years old, his parents moved to Klein-Hüningen, near Basel, where his education began. His father taught him Latin, and his mother, as he says in his later memoirs, Memories, Dreams, Reflections, read him a book about exotic religions, to which he constantly returned, as if spellbound by drawings of Indian gods.

Psychology of artistic creativity

The content of the works collected in this anthology is devoted to one of the most important aspects of human mental life. It is interesting to note that the phenomenon of inspiration, which is central to all artistic creativity, was sacred and secret for ancient humanists.

He remains the same for us. Over the past decades, psychologists have managed to lift the sacred veil over the secrets of artistry. The best of these achievements are collected in the collection presented to your attention.

Esoteric psychotherapy, a gift from the Rosicrucians to the Age of Aquarius

How joyful it is to see the spread of enthusiastic interest in Max Lüscher's psychotest, even in its partial, collapsed 8-color version. And how sad it is to realize that contemporaries have no idea about the secret that the creator - or rather the transmitter - left us all! - non-verbal projective color-psychodiagnostic technique known as the Luscher test.

The Third Millennium has arrived, and therefore the time has come to talk about that fantastically valuable surprise that was transmitted through Max Luscher to planetary humanity.

Astrological interpretation of Runes

Since ancient times, Runes have been genetically associated with the Nordic civilizations of the Celts, Germans and Scandinavians. The interpretation of the symbolic meanings of the Runes presented in this monograph is characteristic precisely of the last representatives of the Nordic metaculture and corresponds to the characteristics of the psycho-ethnic style inherent in the Eastern and Northern Slavs.

In ancient times, a collision with the energy of a particular Rune was directly associated with the intervention of a specific representative of the pantheon of Gods. All those who directly encounter runic practice are convinced from their own experience that to this day Runes help strengthen the connections between heaven and earth, helping a person to consult with heaven.

Compiled by: Selchenok K.V., Taras A.E.

Psychosexology

Ancient philosophers argued that “love and hunger rule the world!” If there is no food, there is a threat to human biological existence. And if there is no love, then life in its content is limited to this biological existence. It is no coincidence that all world literature, drama, and cinema are based on the cult of sexual love. Love is the quintessence of human relationships.

From a purely medical point of view, happy sexual love maintains mental and physical health, improves relationships with other people, increases self-esteem, and creates a feeling of completeness and meaning in life.

But how can you ensure happiness in love? Or at least establish a fulfilling sex life? Each person independently seeks answers to these questions. This anthology, dedicated to the ancient but always relevant “science of love,” will help him in such searches.

Runa Nautiz

Symbolic field: constraint, necessity, pain, want, lack, inhibition, impossibility of advancement, labor, difficulties, acceptance of limitations.
Nautiz is a Saturnian rune. The first law that should be observed when it falls out: slow down so that the tires don’t burn out!
Nautiz implies the ability to cope with necessity. Every difficulty, every obstacle should be considered as a specific work assignment. Nautiz is an unpleasant, but very useful rune. Regardless of how it falls out - upright or inverted - very serious polishing processes take place in a person, which make it possible to cut character and polish the psyche. It is these shackles imposed on a person that cultivate tactical ingenuity.
Nautiz has a wonderful motto: crossing the abyss under the sail of patience. Such situations are naturally perceived as unpleasant. But the pressure in the chest pumps up energy - the principle of a cauldron with a tightly sealed lid. The external shell (restrictions) allows you to forge internal tensions and increase pressure in the system, concentrating energy. Focus is one of Saturn's keywords. Concentration means focusing attention on a specific problem, gathering consciousness at one point, in a very narrow space.
Unfortunately, very often this one direction is mistaken for abject poverty, because a person is accustomed to having a range of possibilities. Nautiz narrows the field of possibility to one single thing, nevertheless providing complete freedom to act in this direction. Moreover, it implies such an action. It seems to channel energy, direct it in a certain direction. This direction is always unambiguously presented to the figure. But for some reason people tend to perceive such a narrowing of opportunities negatively, as deprivation, instead of accepting freedom of action in a very specific direction.
In some ways, Nautiz is painful. But on the other hand, Nautiz decides for a person what to do, what point to hit, what road to move on. It doesn’t just force, it formalizes movement, which, given the usual dispersion of a person, is naturally perceived as limitation and lack. Modern civilization values ​​the choice of probable actions more than the gift of moving in a certain direction. We generally prefer projections to actions. Nautiz precisely implies not only patience, but also an act performed within specific limits.
This rune is crystalline. It does not allow it to remain amorphous and scattered. She gathers a person, concentrates, focuses, directs. But it depends only on the person whether he will move along the evolutionary channel. Most often, people stop and begin to complain, although there are no situations in life in which creative action is impossible. By working with stressful situations, a person learns to discipline energy. And the more specifically he uses it, the more he respects himself. He feels, in a good sense, a winner over himself, because there is nothing more difficult than overcoming the boredom and emptiness that accompany the action of the Nautiz rune, direct and reverse. But in order to act this way, you first need to disidentify with the situation, that is, look from the outside, remove the negative emotional attachment to the unpleasant situation. This attitude helps to discern the only necessary path of action that Nautiz implies, and accordingly change the direction of consciousness and effort.
If Nautiz falls out, you must try to analyze the psychological cause of the inconvenience. Constraint or limitation causes an inadequate reaction in us - resistance. We feel more upset about what happened than it deserves. Nautiz teaches, firstly, to explore your emotional state under the motto: “Why are you pounding? There is a case. Create it!” Secondly, considering the psychological reason allows us to remove the internal block and use the will that remains in us.
A. Podvodny has a wonderful expression regarding the Gray Beast (it is ruled by Saturn): “You need to work, create and love even in very rainy weather.” It is not external circumstances that give rise to unpleasant emotions. Illusory expectations, when unsatisfied, cause a storm of discontent.
If we focus on an unpleasant situation, if we are turned outward, that is, we look blankly at the limits that limit us, we lose energy, we stall. Only when we look inside ourselves and say that everything is fine with us, everything is fine, but just not as rosy as we wanted, then we have a reserve of will. Turning inside ourselves, we understand that the key to changing our state is in us: in our thoughts, plans, desires.
Nautiz has some differences from Saturn. Saturn brings coldness and prostration. Nautiz is accompanied by extreme emotional tension. The rune advises to hold on to failures until the last, and not to give up. This rune encourages you to consolidate your will and preserve your strength. Like any other rune, Nautiz is not eternal. But if a person gives up and lets things take their course, he loses the energy necessary for a further breakthrough and exit into another space.
Nautiz declares the following maxim: genuine needs often contradict our desires. Human desire is Jupiter. Needs are Saturn. When Nautiz arrives, it turns out that everything necessary, in general, is already there. That is why the Nautiz mark vaguely resembles a cross, inspiring with the motto: God does not give a person a cross beyond his strength.
Nautiz is never too heavy. She's just heavy. And it is never unbearable - it can always be endured. Nautiz situations are designed to train human strength. Although if Nautiz is not taken seriously, the situation may drag on for a long time. The more seriously we take the instructions of the runes, the more consistently we carry out what they call us to do, the more often the runes change their readings, and, accordingly, internal and external situations. Runes exist so that a person fulfills their requirements. Therefore, if you take Nautiz into account and follow her advice, she will soon leave.
Nautiz requires conscious positive motivation, which is not typical for other runes. Under Nautiz, a person has no right to be upset. This deprives him of his strength and ability to act. Frustration is a failure to comply with runic instructions.
Only positive motivation and the search for the good in the current situation help to make changes to it. When you pull out Nautiz, you know that you should at least be in a good mood. Under all the constraining, limiting conditions, Nautiz requires, albeit tortured, optimism, because falling into pessimism under this rune makes its effect extremely negative. This is a rather tough Deity who crushes those who bend. The man decides to fall, and the rune neatly finishes him off. As a result, a person can become exhausted to the limit. The gray Saturnian beast in the seven of the Underwater is the most terrible. It can completely deprive a person of power. And no one from the outside is able to lift his spirit. Only he himself can do this. That is why when pulling out Nautiz, the mood should be as high as possible.
This rune has an interesting motto: be able to overcome poverty both in energies, and in decisions, and in methods of action. Another motto of the rune: future protection is earned through perseverance. A person can count on overcoming Saturn and reaching, for example, Jupiter or Uranus only through perseverance and patience. Then circumstances benefit him, and in the future he experiences the support of fate. Nautiz tests a person for “liceiness” through patience, perseverance, and endurance. And if he passes the test, positive circumstances appear after that.
Nautiz requires restraint in external manifestations. It implies greater accuracy in words and actions, maintaining a readiness to move forward, no matter how difficult the road may be, no matter how unfavorable the situation. This rune prevents external growth, but implies internal growth. This is a very important point. Development actually never stops, under any circumstances, but we are used to assessing it by external signs: environment, people, things, energies, finances, etc. Nautiz blocks them and slows them down. Human energy is directed to internal searches. And sometimes he discovers in himself such reserves of patience and perseverance that he never suspected.
Under the influence of Nautiz, a person magically attracts trouble if he voluntarily consents to it. Failures result from an involuntary feeling of one’s own weakness and inadequacy. Wailing and wailing significantly increases the number of troubles because a person loses the power of resistance. Nautiz implies holding the situation on oneself, because the situation is under pressure from external forces. Man must resist this onslaught. This is how a watermelon is squeezed when they are checked for quality - this is approximately how Nautiz affects a person. This is precisely pressure, a decrease in speed, a slowdown in rhythm, a drop in energy, and the cutting off of favorable circumstances. The person feels that he is left alone with the situation. Its outcome depends on whether he can find reserves and initiate the forces that sleep in his soul. Therefore, with all unfavorable signs, Nautiz contributes to the awakening of human consciousness. (A similar situation: if you sleep while walking, the pillar will wake you up.)
Nautiz trains patience - the ability to wait until a certain moment. But this is not a passive skill. Man continues to resist the onslaught of chaos. But he must know that relief can only come at a specific time, and this time has not yet arrived. Hence the unpleasant state. Nautiz warns that it is very dangerous to spread negative energy. Under Nautiz, a person tends to generate a bad mood and infect others with it. He is annoyed by smiling, joyful, successful people. Nautiz disciplines the external manifestation of emotions. That is why they talk about restraint, about self-restraint - so that a person does not broadcast his negative state to others. Otherwise, it all comes back to him a hundredfold.
The first thing that is instinctively born in a person under the pressure of Nautiz is the desire to feed on the energy of other people. The point is that we are trying to solve our problems at the expense of other people. In a biological sense this impulse is justified, but in a social sense it is reprehensible. Saturn is the planet of karma. It's one thing when someone is ready to help us. But to manipulate and force him to help, energetically or actively, is very doubtful. And the main thing is that this will not make it any easier for us, because Nautiz does not mean the support of other people. It requires ingenuity, independence, self-activity, perseverance from the one to whom it came, and not from those whom a person can attract to change the situation.
Nautiz is generated by a person who produces a lot of hackwork, who is irresponsible about what he produces, who solves his problems at the expense of other people. Saturn closely monitors each of us and usually comes when we are not expecting it. He takes a person by surprise and asks: “What can you do, what are you capable of?” And everyone responds to Nautiz in their own way. It is well known that postponing the lessons of karma has never saved anyone, nor has it helped anyone to live or develop. Nautiz says that things that seemed simple will require more mental labor and more time. Nautiz forcibly corrects people's plans. It poses the need to change erroneous programs. This is a kind of editor, censor, wise judge. He explains what can and cannot be included in the plans. It is this rune that deals with illusory hopes. But if a person constantly postpones adjusting plans, continuing to persistently strive for what he is mistaken about, then Hagalaz comes and, like a tornado, destroys what was built according to erroneous forecasts and out of connection with the environment.

Reverse Nautiz

We are talking about reverse Nautiz and particularly unpleasant conditions associated with direct Nautiz. The first thing that needs to be stopped is wrong actions, as they lead to failure and disappointment. If Hagalaz changes a person’s orientation very abruptly, violently, then Nautiz adjusts plans harshly, but not very significantly, without causing a disaster, but creating a lot of tension when a person moves in the wrong direction. In a sense, Saturn protects a person from Uranus. This is, as it were, our last assistant on the path of evolution, which protects us from the action of trans-Saturnian, that is, major planets. Nautiz comes not as a punishment, but as an adjustment, as an offer to change within completely understandable limits. Moreover, she does disciplinary work for us. We only need to agree and accept the situation. Therefore, Saturn in this case is a purely fertile planet. Like a wise mentor, he will wave a sickle - it shouldn’t grow here, but there he will pass it with a scythe and - away with the weeds. Well, in some places you have to work with a sword - there are a lot of fools.
It is necessary to pay special attention to the fact that all runes are situational. They may be blurred in space and time, or refer to objects that lie outside the scope of our consideration. But it is pointless to ask the runic oracle about what will happen in ten years. Past events, if necessary to revise them, will be interpreted by runes in the context of today. Runes always correspond to the moment in time when they are pulled out. Therefore, any rune requires execution, because it comes as a controlling influence, as specific advice given by the Divine through an egregor. A person asks a question and receives an answer. But if after that he does not follow the instructions, then subsequent answers will be incorrect. What is the point for Heaven to conduct a dialogue with someone who does not listen to his advice and is not going to follow even the minimum instructions. That's why people who work with runes rarely use them.

Negative Nautiz suggests reviewing the mistakes and mistakes already made. She says: “If I came, it means you have something to change in what you have already done.” And in order to get rid of the real suffering associated with Nautiz, you need to try to get out of the situation and, as they say, think and look more broadly. Both in space and in time.

The rune is the answer to the cause of suffering, to the cause of inconvenience. Runes are not comforters, runes are pointers, they are advisers. The rune always leads from the darkness of misunderstanding into the light of awareness if we follow it, if we listen to this rune, if we really try to understand what the rune is trying to tell us.

Negative Nautiz has one reassuring thesis: troubles make cleansing easier.
Negative Nautiz points to a very curious problem: the main internal evil that led to a bad situation lies in lack of faith in oneself. Most unpleasant situations occur due to lack of inner peace, inner self-confidence, and not due to pride, bragging and boasting, as is usually believed. The fact is that the psychological basis of bragging, boasting, and pride is precisely self-doubt. A confident person will neither be proud, nor brag, nor arrogant.

Negative Nautiz draws attention to a very important point: all internal problems are rooted in the main thing: self-doubt, lack of contact with oneself. This ignorance of oneself, dislike of oneself, lack of understanding of oneself, this is the source of all troubles. And what we don’t know, we usually fear. Especially if it's inside. The so-called karmic problems, the problems of Nautiz, Saturn, are generally based on the same thing - a person does not understand himself, does not know himself and is not even interested in himself. But sooner or later, life and the learning flow force him to turn to himself and figure out the reason for his failure.

Negative Nautiz often comes when problems that have already happened are repeated. The rune imperatively states that evil is within a person. This problem already existed, but he did not solve it. Negative Nautiz implies self-confidence and refusal of despondency in any way: from an ice-cold shower to two fingers in a socket. This rune encourages you not to freeze internally. Stagnation can be anything, but not internal. Any freezing of external events is an invitation to the kindling of the Spirit! By the way, people are very wary of the word “spiritual.” They can talk about the body, for example, about the soul, but as for the spiritual - “What kind of Spirit is in me. It has not yet manifested.” Although the fact that a person babbles is already the action of the Holy Spirit. When a person treats himself more respectfully as a bearer of the spiritual principle, when he remembers that the Spirit is incessantly present in him, that he and the divine environment are one and the same, when he knows that there is always a channel to the truth in him, in him there is a source of peace when he remembers all this, then there can be no self-doubt.
How to find a channel for the manifestation of spirituality? We somehow shyly react to the word “Spirit”: “It’s with them, with the saints, that the Spirit lives, but I’m a simple person, I only have a soul.” A person who is convinced that he cannot pronounce the word “Spirit” disconnects from himself, from the source, from the spring. If he does not hope for the manifestation of the Spirit, if he does not wait for it, does not ask for it, does not rejoice at its manifestation in the form of joy, in the form of awareness, a selfless desire to help - whatever, if there is no such constant or periodically renewed connection, then in general The spirit disappears from the person's field of vision. And he completely falls into the clutches of social reality.

Metaphors Nautiz

Wire production. To make wire, the metal is heated and pulled through dies. For wire, the process is apparently quite painful. But God, who needs a thinner wire from man, passes him through his dies. Spinneries are Nautiz. If the direct rune fell out, you got a hot wire; if the reverse rune fell out, you got a cold wire. If the hot one does not go away the first time, it cools down, and the reverse Nautiz comes: everything starts from the beginning. The logic is simple - the plant (evolution) needs a plan, so no one is interested in the wishes of the wire.
Maturing of drinks. It takes a lot of time to get good wine. You have to swallow saliva for eight months to then drink the real drink. Nautiz just forces you to wait a certain period of time.
Pregnancy is an archetypal process of nature. This is a process of growth, development, consistent unfolding over time. If we show disrespect for natural development, then we ourselves suffer because of this. Nautiz returns us to the bosom of nature: he doesn’t just push or press, but invites us to slow down and get into the rhythm of events. If we have run ahead of events, in the wrong direction, she returns us to the true path, trying to explain that we need to move more slowly, gradually.
Well, the most disgusting nautiz phrase: hard in learning, easy in battle. Life on earth is a learning process. Esotericism exists in order to acquaint a person with future reality through the correct learning of lessons. The point is not that that reality is more important than this one. Both are important. But life in this reality is subject to the laws and needs of that reality, the deep, causal one.

Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn. But it should be remembered that he is exalted in Libra. This position of Saturn corresponds to the curious motto of Nautiz: any structure is strong only when it corresponds to the canon of beauty.

Saturn in Capricorn teaches that sober firmness protects against chaos, and any living creature grows on the soil. Nautiz is this soil, a nourishing principle, solid, fundamental, fixing and at the same time living.

Nautiz gives one more important instruction: errors must be analyzed independently, that is, within the limits of individual understanding, without outside help. Because trying to solve your problems with the help of others leads to a superficial, formal understanding.

Nautiz is often given as a test before serious achievements. It symbolizes the inspection of troops before a parade or before an offensive. To do this, you need to gather all your strength and conduct an audit of everything available.

Rune Nautiz is a cross devoid of harmony. The cross is Capricorn, and the deprivation of harmony refers to Libra.
Another motto is that circumstances suppress vitality. Moreover, the balance of Libra is not in your favor.
Mythological characters

Kashchei the Immortal was the image of an initiator who preserves the truth in the lower world of Navi. He demanded serious tests for those who claimed the truth. The mystery of disidentification with bodies is associated with Kashchei the Immortal: there is an oak on the island, there is a chest on that oak tree, there is a hare in the chest, there is a duck in the hare, there is an egg in the duck, there is a needle in the egg. Getting rid of the shells symbolizes the way out to an awareness of the mission, to complete freedom of action. The limiting limits are Nautiz. Freedom is achieved only by breaking a chest, destroying a hare, duck, etc. It is impossible to defeat Kashchei by external force, but only by ingenuity.

Kashchei is a great creator of illusions. It seems to us that illusions are associated exclusively with Neptune. However, Saturn creates the darkest illusions, for example, the unattainability of goals, the illusion of death, the illusion of weakness and limitation, etc. Illusions are destroyed with the death of Kashchei, which implies magical ingenuity, a creative streak combined with patience and perseverance, with a fearless desire for results.

Nautiz is symbolized by gnomes, dwarfs, and Scandinavian miniatures. They work underground, forging treasures, manufacturing precious metals, but away from human eyes. Nautiz forges the treasures of the Spirit. This work takes place quietly and unnoticed, under the cover of everyday circumstances.

Nautiz symbolizes the sowing situation. The sprouts are not yet visible, but the seed has already connected with the soil and is growing in the depths. Under the ground of the seed of the seed it is uncomfortable, dark, boring. However, whether the plant grows depends on its ability to break through to the light, overcoming the constraints of soil, darkness and cold.

Nautiz and Saturn are associated with ideas about archons and world rulers. In the Gnostic tradition of the Mediterranean, the archons personified the laws of the universe and therefore were perceived by many people, especially exalted mystics, as negative beings that limited creative freedom and did not allow one to do whatever they wanted. From the point of view of the most ancient esoteric traditions, the archons were represented as the creators of the material cosmos, the very same divine builders who created the world through laws. For form and law are synonyms.

Mantic meanings of straight Nautiz

Situation: difficulties.
Call: don't look away, concentrate.
Warning: do not look outside for reasons for failure.
Note: restraint.
Advice: use the experience of failures, work with the internal enemy.
Comfort: If an obstacle is handled correctly, it will turn out to be a blessing.

Problems of direct Nautiz

Life under severe duress. Pressure denotes darkened, undeveloped areas of the Self, the growth of which is inhibited. It is necessary to work with the Shadow in the Jungian sense, that is, with the shadow side of a person.
Studying the mental focuses of attracting external misfortunes helps you make the right decision.
Nautiz gives a person the opportunity to jump out of the chariot of events and reconsider what has been done. It involves clarifying your relationship with yourself. External events will not go well until you can get along with your own inner world. In other words, the time has come to tell yourself the whole truth about yourself - both pleasant and not so pleasant - without despondency, without pessimism and giving up. The task is to find a compromise between expectations and needs, between desires and real needs, to reconcile conscious and shadow positions. When this is done, Nautiz stops acting. Everything changes: the vision of the world, people, circumstances. Otherwise, Nautiz's action continues.

Mantic meanings of reverse Nautiz

Situation: trial.
Call: cleansing
Warning: despair.
If with direct Nautiz the problem is despondency, then here it is despair, and aggressive, the goal of which is to deny oneself and everything around.
Note: responsibility for oneself and for what is happening.
Advice: start small, using the energy of failure.
Comfort: The meaning of what is happening is to increase your strength.

Reverse Nautiz problems

Psychologists believe that the best way to have good contact with an inert client is to try to deliberately anger him. Energy appears in a person, even if it is aggressive. Nautiz seeks the same from a person. She plunges him into a gloomy situation, cuts off the path of movement. This should arouse in a person the desire to move, to stand, to overcome, to achieve in spite of everything, in spite of everything. Unfortunately, we experience most situations with the opposite effect. The reason is our inability to cope with such Nautiz. Our culture is based on the idea of ​​comfort as a guarantee of development. But in comfortable situations, a person simply sleeps.
Failure encourages you to strengthen your will and strengthen your character.
Reverse Nautiz symbolizes the pressure of the Shadow, that is, negative complexes: irritation, intolerance, despondency. Shadow Pressure integrates the integrity of a person. The emergence from within of everything indecent leads to getting to know oneself, to mastering oneself. We perceive both external and internal troubles as a disturbance of peace, although there is a deep meaning hidden in this disturbance of balance. A person is called upon to reconsider positions, to gain greater integrity. So he lived and did not suspect what kind of beast he carried within himself.
And the last, very important problem: control the bitterness that arises and maintain faith in yourself. In Agni Yoga it is presented very well: the night is especially dark before the dawn. It is difficult for a person to overcome a negative attitude towards Saturn, because he views tests biologically, according to the habitual reaction of the body. Although any Saturnian situation is a reason to change. These situations are beneficial because they keep us awake. They call us to study ourselves. Man is inexhaustible. The man is deep. Development never stops, in any of the worlds, in any of the lives. There is always something to improve in a person. The blessing of Saturn is that the cross is not given beyond one's strength.
If a big trouble falls on a person, it means that he has a lot of strength. The biblical saying “To whom much is given, much will be required” can also be formulated in another way: “If much is asked, then much is given.”
This is Saturn's motto: by what is asked of you, you can determine how much is given to you.

Astrology is an ancient science, known even to the civilization of Mesopotamia. People have long observed the stars and the positions of the planets, with the help of which they predicted future events: harvests and weather, natural disasters, even changes of rulers, wars and the birth of prophets. Traditionally, astrology is considered an eastern art, but it is not. Star divination was practiced in all parts of the world, including in the northern countries.

In the 16th – 17th centuries, the Northern Tradition was significantly influenced by the works of Eastern occultists, which apparently fell into the hands of Icelandic priests and with their light hand became part of the Tradition. These are mainly the Key of Solomon and the works of Cornelius Agrippa, as well as books on medicine, including herbal medicine, and Kabbalah. Thus, in the traditional Icelandic books on magic, collections of galdrastavs, such obvious features of Western magic appeared as divine Kabbalistic names, magic squares like SATOR, Christian prayers written down in full, even planetary symbols and seals. Practical northern magicians used, integrating into tradition, everything that seemed reasonable to them. In the same way, the runic horoscope got into it.

Relationship between runes and zodiac signs

Ancient people lived according to a solar calendar, marking the changing seasons. They noticed long ago that the day has different lengths in winter and summer, and twice a year, day and night are equal in length. This is how 8 holidays of the annual circle appeared, tied to the agricultural cycle: sowing, cultivating the land and harvesting. All these holidays are dedicated to various gods and are tied to northern mythology.

It’s hard not to notice that there are only 24 runes - just like there are hours in a day, but twice as many as there are months in a year. In addition, in the futhark itself there are runes indicating various celestial phenomena and time cycles: Yera - year, Dagaz - day, Soulu - sun.

Various researchers have tried to tie the runes to the signs of the Zodiac, relying either on the days of the equinox or on the days of the solstice, tying the beginning to both the astrological new year and the Nativity of Christ. Among modern runologists, Kenneth Meadows and Freya Asvinn tried to do this. There are also authentic Icelandic sources, however, very few of them are translated and available. The most famous is the manuscript “Gandreid” by Rev. Jonah Dadason. The name translates as “Magic Flight”. This is a collection of information from local folklore and Western occultism, which he himself considered white magic.

In the text of the ancient manuscript, “Runology” by Jón Ólafsson of Grunvik, the entire Futhark is divided into 3 attas: the world of the gods (Asgard), the kingdom of nature and the world of people (Midgard).

Modern researchers distribute gods and runes in accordance with zodiac signs and elements as follows, according to this logic:

• Fire element: Aries - Teyvaz, Uruz, Leo - Soulu, Dagaz, Sagittarius - Kennaz, Nautiz;
• Water element: Cancer - Turisaz, Perth, Scorpio - Hagalaz and Isa, Pisces - Laguz and Algiz;
• Earth element: Taurus: Fehu and Odal, Virgo - Berkana and Yera, Capricorn - Inguz and Eyvaz;
• Air element: Gemini - Raido, Eyvaz, Libra - Ansuz and Gebo, Aquarius - Mannaz, Vunyo.

The zodiac circle of runes begins with the sign of Aries and the spring equinox. There are a pair of runes for each sign.

Reverend Jon Dadason in his manuscript “Gandreid” cites the so-called “runes of speech”, which correspond to the 12 signs of the Zodiac. He refers to quotes from the Bible, the sorcerers described there - astrologers or astrologers, and also cites the “Hebrew alphabet” with runic names, alphabetic and numerical correspondences. This system of correspondences forms the basis of modern Western magic of the Hermetic branch and is tied to the mantic system of the Tarot. However, it is worth noting that there are 22 Hebrew letters, while there are 24 runes.

Each zodiac sign is divided by runes into two equal periods. People born under the sign of a certain rune will have its qualities. In a horoscope, the interpretation of runes has an astrological meaning and largely indicates a person’s character.

• March 23 – April 5- Fehu, livestock. Gives great potential in character, activity, desire to have property, energy and ease of perception of life.

Eyvaz is a very interesting, unusual, even unexpected rune. Symbolically, it corresponds to Venus, one of the most complex astrological symbols.

Modern astrologers do not pay special attention to this planet. They love Saturn, Pluto, or at least Jupiter more. What about Venus? Aphrodite, beauty, harmony, balance, interests - and okay. In reality, Venus is about values ​​in the broadest sense. The Eyvaz rune, both in its design and in the meanings associated with it, corresponds to Yggdrasil - the world tree that connects heaven and earth, penetrating with its branches into all areas of space and time. It is the one who connects everything and everyone.

Value is the focus of the synthesis of various programs, directions, objects, phenomena. Venus carries out a synthesis based on the sublime. For example, the beauty of love between a man and a woman does not lie in the man or the woman, but in the synthesis of both of them, although we are talking about principles opposing each other. A beautiful picture is woven from a variety of colors. It is the interaction of polarities that gives rise to a beautiful image. If Uranus polarizes, explodes polarities, pushes them apart, then Venus pulls together a variety of forces, ideas, meanings, energies on a certain common basis.

Venus is called “small happiness” in comparison with Jupiter’s “great happiness”. Jupiter symbolizes noisy happiness. It's a lot of unexpected joy. Venus requires more work, because it is thin, delicate, openwork. It encourages a serious concentration of attention on the interweaving of opposites, on the interweaving of polar principles. Venus requires special care in handling. Therefore, it is very difficult to work with her. Venus is responsible for rational synthesis: reason as the unification of reason and experience. In this regard, Venus is understood by few people as a particularly important factor.

Our life is experiencing a clear lack of Venus. We are not talking about external decorations, but about a sense of integrity, balance, connectedness of everything with everything. Moreover, the connectedness is logical, harmonious, natural. Unfortunately, people are used to relying on reason. And therefore they emphasize one side or the other of the polarities. Venus is the middle path of the Buddha, the path of harmony, balance, synthesis of upper and lower, left and right, light and dark, hot and cold. Venus, like an axis, permeates all planes of existence, creating with beauty something holistic, unified. Venus is a very living, mobile planet. She is surprisingly informal. Its balance is always changing due to the fact that life changes, time passes, and emphasis is placed differently. But the principle remains constant: grasping the opposite in the context of the whole.

We rarely understand the feeling of beauty, the feeling of beauty as synonymous with the legality and naturalness of development. Beauty in itself is valuable because it corresponds to certain correct constructions. They are informal, uncountable, unformulable. They can only be experienced, felt. People with a strong Venus in their charts feel very subtly the line between the beautiful and the ugly, the line between vulgarity and art, the line between hackwork and impeccability, but they cannot explain this. A person with an undeveloped or affected or weak Venus does not feel such nuances and subtleties.

In the light of the Eyvaz rune, a special depth opens up, a special dimension of Venus, sacred and very deep. It takes on a cosmic sound. Eyvaz shows the depth and pinnacle of the Venusian principle. In the ancient civilizations of the Mediterranean there were no cults that did not pay special attention to the pacifying, ordering feminine principle. The ancients understood perfectly well that Venus teaches people to be human. A person must, in one form or another, worship a beautiful, harmonious principle in order to withstand the chaos of days, having before his eyes an example of perfection, living, moving, different at every moment of time.

Unfortunately, Venus has now left many areas of life. The very understanding of feeling as the only basis for synthesis is gone. The understanding that experience, deep emotion, empathic empathy with what we are doing - only this makes it possible to harmonize the processes of life has disappeared. Man communicates with the world through Mars, Mercury, through the imperative pressure of solar energy, which may gather everything together, but does not bring order. The sun is the king. And Venus is the mistress, and in her highest form. This is the beginning, putting things in order, putting everything in its place, a musical, symphonic, polyphonic, multi-colored beginning. Venus can be compared to a canvas in which every detail is important: color intensity, shape of spots and their relative position, etc.

Eyvaz talks about such a cosmically solemn, sublime-sounding Venus: a combination of incompatible things, a dynamic interaction of opposite principles.

Symbolic field Eyvaz

Removal of obstacles, higher protection, organic increase in strength. We usually understand power as the pouring of fuel into the tank of a car, that is, as something that must be invoked and appropriated. Under Eyvaz, strength grows with us, gradually accumulates, improves, becomes more powerful, dynamic due to the fact that we do not force the process of its growth. The increase in power occurs progressively, without pressure, without appeals and violence.

Influence. Preventing trouble. Perseverance and consistency as a condition for transformation. Wisdom as an understanding of universal connection. Protection through balancing efforts. Experience as harmonized knowledge.

Most often, obstacles on a person’s path are associated with the fact that he rests his forehead in one place, connects himself with one pole of the surrounding or internal reality, without seeing the other pole. Thanks to Eyvaz, a person has the opportunity to move away from an obstacle and see a workaround. Knowledge, harmonized in experience, allows him to remember every minute that there is a way out in any situation. But you need to feel it. You need to take a closer look at it, try to feel it, but not by trial and error, breaking the door with your forehead, but simply by refusing to forcibly overcome obstacles, considering the situation more holistically and synthetically.

Venus suggests that polar forces are intertwined in every event. If we cannot overcome one force, then we must resort to the help of another. If we are unable to get around an obstacle on the left, we must try to get around it on the right. Any event allows you to approach it from different angles. The point is to feel, to emotionally understand what we are faced with. However, we perceive obstacles as insurmountable. Our mind gets stuck: here is a wall that needs to be broken through. This technique is often used in comedies. Let us remember the moment from the film “Prisoner of the Caucasus”, when Shurik in the psychiatric hospital tried enough
open the door impressively. It turned out that the door simply opened in the other direction.

A serious obstacle is associated with loss of balance, with inattention to the second side of the phenomenon.

Venus symbolizes the middle path. It allows you to walk along a thin thread between two abysses, bypassing both the left and right extremes.

The most important point to realize is that Venus calls for coordinating your actions with the actions of your environment. The values ​​symbolized by Venus are an egregoric phenomenon, because they are always transhuman, supra-individual. When receiving the Eyvaz rune, we must think about how much we have coordinated our reality with the surrounding reality, how expedient our work is in the broader system in which we are included. We are talking about coordinating rhythms, action vectors and the amount of effort expended. Venus calls for alignment with the whole. A person is never alone. He is always a representative of some system larger than himself. And any event, any situation, has meaning not only for ourselves, but also for the whole that we represent in this situation.

Most human difficulties stem from being self-obsessed, self-obsessed, and limited in one's point of view. Venus encourages you to open your field of perception and look around. Maybe you shouldn’t break into an open door, but just open it in the other direction. We need to feel some broader context in which we operate. This is not an intellectual operation, but an experience, an empathic experience of the situation. There is not just “me and the situation,” but there is a whole: I am its representative and an obstacle that, according to the influences of the whole, I need to overcome. When a person feels such a connection with broader programs, when he learns to detach himself from the formulas of failure and experience more broadly, he almost always finds that his views are restructured, and he actually finds a way out. That is why Roerich called for beauty, calling this path the middle path of harmony.

A good person is one who acts beautifully, acts in a balanced manner, on the basis of synthetic ideas, and not only on his own, but as a messenger of the whole, as a representative of a wider system, as an egregoric conductor. And then everything turns out beautifully. Such a person has protection because he is in connection with the egregor. He finally comes to understand the path. By soaring higher and looking at the situation through the eyes of the whole, he is able to perceive the winding middle path that is never straight and which from a personal position is simply impossible to see. Venus is a kind of wings. With their help, a person rises above the situation. But he rises not intellectually, but sensually.

Unfortunately, in most cases we associate emotional experiences with ourselves personally. The trouble of egoic self-isolation originates not only in reason, but also in feelings. We touch only ourselves, we feel only ourselves. But egregoric influences and big programs remain somewhere on the sidelines. And we experience, sensually perceive our isolation. This is a colossal mistake: not only do people imagine themselves as separate, they also experience themselves as separate.

Beauty and harmony exist on the basis of the whole. Integrity and beauty are synonymous. When faced with an obstacle, when necessary to find protection, when necessary to find a middle path, a person must become larger, but not bloated, but open, change, unite with what is happening not only to him, but also around him. And then the walls crumble. He steps onto a path that he has not seen before, being in an isolated state.

Mercury and Venus are complementary principles. Their synthesis, the synthesis of calculation and intuition, gives rise to reason. A person who simply has a large amount of formal knowledge and knows how to combine it cannot be called intelligent. Nor is anyone reasonable who cannot listen and understand another person, who does not look into our eyes and does not try to realize that we are also alive. Venus and Mercury are two principles, thanks to the activation of which a person is very effectively oriented and actually follows the paths that he should take. Without Venus, without emotional empathy for the world, without empathic integration into the whole, the right path cannot be found.

A feeling or experience is based on emotions. Emotions generalize our state. They integrally cover the body. The nature of experience is something unifying, synthesizing. Thought divides, concretizes, pulls apart, disidentifies. Emotion does the opposite. It connects and makes the disconnected whole. You cannot find the middle path without Mercury and Venus. They must be synthesized. But preference is still given to Venus. Feeling, especially if it is purified, trained, developed, it is higher and subtler. The mind is too crude an instrument.

Eyvaz says that each specific goal must be consistent with fate. Our destiny is ourselves, unfolding in time. When we subordinate goals to destiny, to the strategy of life achievements, to the strategy of life growth, then we actually unite them with ourselves. Often people are busy doing work that is not theirs, striving for achievements that are not their own, and being interested in facts that are not their own. Rune Eyvaz encourages you to compare what you are doing now with what you are doing on Earth. If a person empathically and emotionally comprehends the line of his destiny at this particular moment, he unmistakably finds the answer to the questions posed to him.

A person is effective only when he acts out of necessity. This necessity is dictated to him by his own destiny, which he feels within himself and which is himself. We are lucky, successful, productive and happy when each step, to a greater or lesser extent, correlates with the whole, with the general line of our development. This correlation is not a simple procedure. It cannot be accomplished with the help of reason. But you can feel the Venusian feeling using the example of opposition: what’s mine is not mine, what’s necessary is not what’s needed, what I want is what I don’t want, the soul is lying there – it’s not lying, I like it – I don’t like it. Including such oppositions for Mars impulsively does not produce any effect. Venus requires a certain calmness and tranquility. Venus insists that these emotional feelings should occur against the backdrop of a relaxed mind, abandoning intellectual conversation. It brings a person interest.
And he gains protection coming from fate or, according to A. Podvodny’s terminology, from the personal karmic egregor, the highest in a person’s life.

To act without error in the situation of Eyvaz, it is necessary to climb to the top from which our entire earthly life is visible, after which we will understand what to do and whether to do it at all. The heart feels the need for any action. But not only for yourself or for others, but to fulfill your mission. Rational analysis is hardly possible here. But Venusian, sensory analysis is available to any person. This kind of meditation should always arise in situations of difficulty, in situations of reluctance to act. For example, according to the environment, a person needs to do something. But he is overwhelmed by laziness. He is unable to raise his hand. Venusian analysis shows that he really doesn't need it. But he must honestly admit this to himself.

Venus is also the temptation to refuse to go through difficult places, the temptation to laziness. When a person analyzes laziness from the standpoint of the necessity of his destiny, he suddenly overcomes it, realizing that somewhere deep in his soul lives a subtle, quiet imperative: “Dear, this will have to be done. If not today, then tomorrow. Not tomorrow, but in a year.” And the person feels in his heart that the action is inevitable - there is no method against crowbar - and he calmly gets to work even with outward reluctance.

Eyvaz teaches a person to relate the current moment to the entire strategy of life. Life strategy lives in our heart. In fact, we always know where to go, how to act, what to do. The trouble is that we rarely listen to this. We start from reason and end our analysis with reason. We avoid Venusian meditations because they are unusual. We were not taught to listen to music. We were not taught to remain silent while contemplating the sunrise, to listen to the rhythm of poems without understanding them with our minds. Like any lazy student, we avoid mastering this new style of mental activity. And it is necessary. When the Eyvaz rune falls, it is needed three times, for this rune orders: “You will receive protection, energy, and direction; you will make a choice and follow the right path only if you abstract yourself from the situation, soar above it and consider it in the general mystery of your destiny.”

Choosing the right target guarantees an accurate hit.

We are happy, lucky, successful only when we strive for what we really need. If something doesn’t work out for the umpteenth time, then you should think: “Or maybe I’m in the wrong place? Maybe there is no door? In any case, it is closed for me. Should I try to go into the next room? Or is today a day off and we have to wait?” In any case, the correct choice of target in accordance with our destiny ensures a 100% hit. If we still missed, it means we chose the wrong target.

Why is Venusian analysis so important? Why is it so important to emotionally address the imperatives of your soul? In life, it often happens that values ​​are imposed on us by our environment. We are constantly told in our ears: “Strive for this. Do this. It’s important for you...” At first we just listen, trying to somehow resist. And then we get used to it over the years. And what is imposed becomes our goal. For example, the common phenomenon of single women. For a long time they were explained that they should strive for a family, have children, etc. Nevertheless, the woman remains alone and suffers. But one day she realizes that she does not want this cooperation, that she has other forms of interaction, other interests. Moreover, it does not feel any unnaturalness. She is doing well. There are people, on the contrary, who are in vital need of a family. No matter how bad and difficult it is for them, they will still climb there. Because internally they know that they need it for something.

An example of Eywaz meditation is the answer to the question “Do I need...?” Under Eyvaz it's about choice. It must be done by the person himself. This does not mean that we will almost always answer: “No need.” But in our lives there are many useless, meaningless things, phenomena and programs. As if stuck, they trail behind us, cling to people, interfere with our lives, make us idiots. We don't want to get rid of them. And then, with pain and blood, we have to tear off these programs, because in some strange way they get used to us, stick, grow. And then, at about 65 years old, you realize that a lot has been done in vain and that you could have taken a different path. To avoid regrets and even a reason for such thoughts, it makes sense to think more often about Venusian self-determination and strive to comprehend your path. At the level of reason, this sounds like an abstraction. At the level of Venus, this is a real experience: I want - I don’t want, I will go - I won’t go, I need - I don’t need, what’s mine is not mine.

The beauty and mystery of feeling is that when calmly deepened, it really gives an answer. Not verbal, but in the form of desire or unwillingness: “I don’t know why it’s necessary. But I feel in my heart that it’s mine.” The gift of feeling is given to every person from birth; Venus is in every horoscope. But this gift must be mastered and put into action. To do this, you need to constantly turn to Venus, that is, reflect on your own life.

The development of Venusian sensitivity is the meaning of Pythagorean solar studies. At sunset and sunrise, the students sat in a semicircle and reflected on everything they had lived and learned during the day. They compared the day with their line of development, leveled out deviations, brought them into compliance, analyzed mistakes, but not from a social point of view and not even from the point of view of the quality of execution of actions, but from the position: did we go there that day? What are the causes of unpleasant experiences? with the wrong choice or with the inability to cope with the situation? In the morning, the man planned the day, thinking about his short earthly life, about his mission. And his karmic line was naturally corrected. He came into a state of balance and followed the middle path.

In the occult school of Pythagoras, solar studies were a daily discipline. Therefore, people developed there at cosmic speed. They transformed the culture of all of Greece. Twice a day, doing meditation, they straightened the path of their development. Meditation took place in silence. Nobody asked anyone questions, because people were conducting a dialogue with their karmic egregor. At sunrise and sunset, when natural currents are balanced, they sought balance in their destiny, emotionally viewing the current day in resonance with the whole of destiny.

Another motto of Eyvaz: all dubious situations can and should be foreseen and prevented.

Eyvaz is symbolized by a tree: roots below, branches above, a rough trunk, the finest flowers, some branches to the south, others to the north - and everything remains integral, unified. The tree contains all possible oppositions. It is the focus of synthesis. A person lives, moves, moves in a huge semantic space. It contains both the internal and external world of events. Eyvaz helps you feel the connection of all axes, all vectors of movement. Eyvaz calls to become like a tree, synthesizing all oppositions. When receiving Eyvaz, a person must gather, coordinate, but not rationally, but through experience, to feel whole. And then he begins to see what is needed, what is not needed, where to go next and how to act.

Modern civilization has accustomed a person to explosive development, like at a gas station: he took the power (gasoline), filled it up and moved on. In the same way, he applies to knowledge, to experience, to study, to contacts with people, to any opportunities. A Martian man is trying to capture, receive, acquire something. This development is symbolized by the verbs: receive, seize, appropriate.

There is another path of development, corresponding to Eyvaz, Venus. Organic development through the assimilation of what is received. Such a person puts his own integrity above all else, and not the volume of what he has acquired. Food, from physical products to knowledge and insights, enters his body sequentially and is patiently incorporated into his own integrity. Explosive development is dangerous because a person, receiving often and a lot, is not able to digest (or organize) what he receives. He is torn apart by internal contradictions. He is unable to balance between opposing positions, between contradictory impulses. Venusian development allows you to maintain greater stability and at the same time take for development only what is really necessary.

At every moment of time, in every situation, a person must acquire something specific that is vital for him to grow further, not quantitatively, but organically, qualitatively. The sprout turns into a stem. The stem produces a bud. The bud opens and turns into a fruit, etc. In the spring, you cannot pour all the water on the plant that it should receive during its entire development cycle. You can’t put all the fertilizer into the soil without burning the plant. Everything must come in the right quantities and at the right time.

The Eyvaz rune reminds a person of the need for organic, natural, gradual growth, because only in this case a person maintains stability, stability, integrity, remains protected, and easily balances within the limits of acquired values. They say about such people: “He knows his place and what he wants from life.”

It is a serious temptation to follow the explosive Martian path. Excess information is expelled by the body. Excessive forces do not so much help to move as they tear the body to pieces, disrupt the course of events and, as a result, cause acute dissatisfaction with oneself and life. Organic development is accompanied by minor restructuring, unnoticeable crises, quiet periods of transformation and, in general, brings much more pleasure than explosive development.

How to determine the path of organic development? Through preference.

A person is in the field of action of forces. A living organism is always directed from something to something. Preference is the process of choosing what you need and rejecting what you don't need. Preference is essentially irrational. This is an intuitive, emotional, deep, empathic, almost physiological human reaction to two proposed stimuli. The famous Luscher test is based on this phenomenon. A person is presented with two colors. He chooses one of them. Based on the analysis of preferences, a broad picture of the internal processes of emotional life unfolds. When we want to move along the path of organic development, when we strive to determine the zone of nearest growth, then we need to turn to preferences. Another thing is that preference is a very subtle instrument. A person must learn to listen to himself, of course, not to the point of obsession, so that this does not turn into paranoia and attachment to some vague internal states. Very often, people who like to cry: “Listen to the voice of your heart,” are actually listening to unknown things (mostly what they want to hear). Preference requires high internal integrity. Our organism, body, soul - they are always aware of what we need, better than our mind or reason.

Reactions of disgust, indignation, hostility, illness, etc. are also related to preferences. An unpleasant state of the body signals us about what is not necessary and what we should avoid.

Preferences operate at different levels of a person's organization. For example, a drowning man screams for help. To save him, a person needs to immerse himself in cold water. The body doesn't seem to like it. Preference seems to command: “Don’t dive into ice water.” But if the main thing in the soul is the highest preference - the motive of saving another - then the person simply does not notice the cold water. It is not perceived as an obstacle.

The more attentively and responsibly we treat the analysis of our subtle preferences, the more competently we choose our winding, ornate road of life.
The criterion for determining the correctness of the path is not a mental formula, not an ossified attitude of the mind in the form of the motto “This is how it should be,” but the person himself, when his whole being cries out: “This is not necessary!” But he still rushes ahead, hits a lot of bumps, without ever reaching the goal.

Instead of an inanimate core of mental attitude, we must nurture a very subtle indicator of preference, ask ourselves, turn to ourselves, respectfully dialogue with the body, with the soul, with God (whatever you want to call it), check our progress with the map, with the adviser who lives inside us. When we know about the phenomenon of preference, when we remember the Eyvaz rune, that Venus helps us emotionally find our way, we go through many tests much easier, we experience inevitable events easier and brighter. Many situations, unpleasant and obligatory, can be mitigated due to Venus, due to a subtle understanding, smooth, competent change in the rhythm of passing certain obstacles.

Working with Venus and preferences is quite difficult, because people are used to assessing situations rationally. We replace feelings and emotions with a diagram, a straight line, and logic. Preferences exist at different levels, which is why internal honesty is necessary. It is very important to understand where the voice of preference comes from. This problem is very well covered in the section “Inner Voices” in the book “Signs on the Path” by A. Tikhomirov. Preferences are silent inner voices. You need to understand where the voice comes from, what level, what part of your soul, what egregoric program testifies to itself in the choice “I want - I don’t want.”

A person unerringly chooses a path if he gives preference to strategic programs that he cannot understand either with his mind or intellect, but which his heart tells him about.

An egregor is not a sadistic structure. This is not something or someone enjoying our suffering and tasting our irritation and tears. Egregor is just interested in making sure that we feel good, that we are happy. The trouble is that we don't listen to his voice. We listen to anything: the advice of others, flat book formulas and make hasty decisions - not on a whim, the reins just got under our tail. If we begin to listen to the Venusian channels of communication with the egregor, his clear high voice, always different, situationally justified, then we become happier, because the egregor is interested in our non-traumatic passage of life. He is interested in us retaining more strength, so that we act more, so that our actions are more effective.

Emotional balance, human contentment and satisfaction are values ​​for the egregor, because we are not just his children or relatives, we are part of him. Therefore, it is believed that bodily abuse of oneself, all kinds of asceticism, flat and dull mental exercises such as memory rape or the development of vision to the point of a wild headache - all these things are unnatural. Egregor always predicts the zone of proximal development. He always guides you on the next step. You just need to learn to listen to him not with your mind, but in a Venusian way: through experience, conduct a dialogue with the egregor. This requires a certain, very subtle, but real internal effort.

A few more Eyvaz mottos:

• remaining realistic is protected from adversity
• foresight is built on an understanding of the nature of universal communication and mutual exchanges
• giving up haste does not mean giving up persistence
• insights come from the storehouse of experience, attracted by a sense of beauty
• To find a middle path, alternative solutions must be carefully considered.

In astrology, there is an interesting technique in the study of astrological symbolism. It's called control circuit analysis. In order to comprehend any planet, it is necessary to consider those planets with which it is associated in terms of control and exaltation. For example, Venus, Jupiter and Neptune contribute to understanding the Moon. The Moon rules the sign of Cancer. Jupiter is exalted in Cancer. The Moon is exalted in Taurus. Taurus is ruled by Venus. Neptune is also exalted in the sign of Cancer. To understand the Moon we need to take a deep look at Jupiter, Venus and Neptune.

After conducting a similar analysis regarding all the planets, it turned out that Venus is the most branched of all the planets. It turns out that it is no coincidence that Venus rules the fertility of Taurus and the balance of Libra. And it is no coincidence that it is associated with the planets that rule the sign of Pisces and which are responsible for communication with cosmic consciousness. The understanding of Venus is influenced by five planetary factors at once: the Moon from the sign of Taurus, Jupiter from the sign of Pisces, Neptune from the sign of Pisces, Saturn from the sign of Libra, Chiron from Libra or from Taurus. There are three planetary principles openly represented in Venus. Venus is the synthesis of three principles. By themselves they are quite contradictory, but together they represent a complete whole.

Through Taurus, Venus is connected to the Moon - the aspect of nutrition.

Through Libra, Venus is connected to Saturn - the aspect of agreement.

Through Pisces, Venus is connected to Neptune - the aspect of prayer.

Venus is nutrition, harmony, and prayer.

These principles are irrational. And the Moon, and Saturn, and Neptune are experiences rather than mental schemes. Therefore, many astrologers argue that correctly understood and worked out Venus allows a person to reach the level of irrational organization of the world. A person becomes a high clairvoyant, a subtle intuitionist, a healer. This is where the magical power of many artists comes from. This is where the mystery of the lives of many musicians comes from. Neptune is when the subtle world falls on a person, when a mysterious sphere invades him.

Venus provides an opportunity to enter into balanced communication with the subtle world through a sense of beauty, through harmony and beauty.

Thanks to the elaboration of Venus, a person is able to leave the cramped confines of a flat, ordinary, horizontal existence and get in touch with the vertical channel. He can see forms, principles, meanings that lie beyond the tangible. All this directly relates to the Eyvaz rune.

Protection lies in empathic, subtle, artistic contact with reality.

Progress towards the subtle world is associated with choices: like - don’t like, want - don’t want, mine - not mine.

Most often, people proceed from rational constructs and focus on society, as a result of which they are deprived of the opportunity to move along Venus. They become noisy and cluttered. Regardless of external achievements, they cannot break into the subtle spheres because they ignore the principle of balance and harmony, think mechanically, act harshly, constantly violating that very harmony, although within the mechanically organized world their actions are correct. Their relationships seem to be orderly, their thoughts seem to be literate, but with every step they take, they accumulate karma. People accumulate karma through mistakes, slapdash moves, and mistakes that they make due to ignoring Venus, that is, the principle of universal connection. Relying on local, narrow, limited, blinkered perceptions, they do not feel the integrity of the world, do not understand its beauty. They act in an aggressive, persistent, hasty, explosive manner. And no matter how successful the external results are, such a life does not bring inner satisfaction, peace, light, because it is Venusian meditation that gives a person humanity.

Venus in the second house is responsible for self-esteem, in the seventh house it represents dialogue and cooperation with another person, in the twelfth house it represents loneliness, fantasy, imagination, prayer.

The human principle is not valuable in itself. But it is an integral, necessary part of any progress in life. When Eyvaz comes, you need to remember this, that is, you need to remember the need to search for harmony, balance, the need to pay attention to the beauty of what is happening or its ugliness and feel where it can be corrected: where to let go of events, where to give up part of the achievements , where to change the style of behavior so that the situation becomes more beautiful, more rainbow, more colorful. According to the internal Venusian imperative, according to the imperative of beauty and orderliness, but not mechanical, but living, a person can monitor the correctness of his life. If this Venusian feeling does not exist, especially if it does not exist, we can certainly say that a person does not live his life the way he would like, not the way he should live it.

Oddly enough, God always has in mind the contentment of man himself.

This Venusian criterion is an indicator of the correctness of progress. If a person does not learn this, he will never be satisfied with what he does, no matter how much he achieves and no matter what other people say about him. A person will not succeed until a stable experience of beauty and balance in the process of life reigns within him, even if only for an hour, for a day. When a person feels grace, peace, so earthly, without ecstasies, without so-called clairvoyant pictures, when he feels naturalness, then he probably moves forward on his own path and the egregor probably gives him this grace in response to the fact that he lives correctly. Any contentment of a person is evidence of the egregor that the person is right, that the person is on the right path.

The first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word “Venus” is love, the feeling of love, the experience of love. The lunar component is carnal love. The Saturnian component is social love, understood as agreement and interaction. The Neptunian component is sacred, divine love. All three types of love are combined in Venus.
There is no predominance of one love over another. Pure Moon is carnal pleasures, but not in the sense that they are bad, but in the fact that this type of love is limited to the body, bodily joys. The orderliness and harmony of Saturn is inclusion in society - a special experience of love, but also limited by adequacy to society. Saturn requires external acts of service and patience that accompany the feeling of love. Neptune - divine love. There is no person in Neptune. This is self-pleasure: I enjoy myself and the universe.

Venus connects carnal, social and divine love.

All types of love must be present in a person, if only because Venus is in every person’s horoscope. Unfortunately, many preachers present one form of love or another. Social Democrats shout about the need for social love. Missionaries are only about the divine. And hedonists say that social love is nonsense, and sacred love is a lie. Therefore, let us love with our bodies. In Yggdrasil, the world tree (the symbol of the Eyvaz rune, connecting heaven and earth), the forms of love are different, complementing each other. These are aspects of Venus. And Venus is integrity, a synthesis of any existing forms.

Plots of the Eyvaz rune

Gerda is looking for Kai. This is a very serious symbol when love leads a person through all obstacles, even seemingly insurmountable ones - the purest egregoric mystery, the sacrament of fulfilling one’s mission.

Snow White appears at the Seven Dwarfs. The feminine principle united opposing forces. Snow White brought to the community what it lacked - integrative love. A small, weak sister organizes the gnomes so that they perform many feats, although before that they simply lived for their own pleasure: they hunted, ate, drank, slept, cursed... But the hour of restoration of harmony came and Snow White came - a force aimed at overcoming completely unimaginable obstacles .

The cunning Odysseus is mistakenly perceived as a mercurial symbol. Odysseus’s ingenuity was based on the fact that he, as Odessa residents say, “had a lot of need.” He was on his way to Penelope. And where others no longer had enough intelligence, endurance, courage, patience, cunning, ingenuity, he found strength. He had a strategic task - to return to Penelope, for Odysseus was a fairly devoted person.

The Venus principle is perfectly demonstrated by the following situation. At a Swiss bank, an enterprising manager vowed that he could make a simple lumberjack the president of the Swiss bank. They say to him: “You are crazy.” And he answers: “Yes, but this is Rockefeller’s son-in-law.” “Well then, that’s a different matter,” those around him react thoughtfully. They ask the lumberjack: “Do you want to marry Rockefeller’s daughter?” “Why the hell do I need her?” “Yes, but you will become president of the Swiss Bank.” “Well then that’s another matter.” They ask Rockefeller’s daughter: “Do you want to marry the president of the Swiss Bank?” She replies: “I already have a good life.” “Yes, but this is a Russian lumberjack,” comes the tempting offer. “Then it’s a different matter,” the lady agrees. What is the point of the above example? In pairs, these things are incompatible and unviable. Only the triangle lives. There is a general occult principle: polarities cannot develop themselves (are unstable). Only the principle of synthesis is alive.

For example, astrology and psychology are a pair bred by Rudhyar. Astrology, as well as psychology, in itself is meaningless without the third principle - axiology, that is, without understanding the value of what a person needs, what he strives for. Astrology, psychology and axiology (the science of values) together form a holistic science of soul science.

Mythological characters Eyvaz

The Venusian principle takes on various forms. Therefore, Venus is very variegated and ambiguously represented in mythology among different peoples. Scandinavian Frey - mistress, mistress - lunar economic hypostasis. Anahit of the Persians is the daughter of the creator, who controls the power of the father of the Sun, like a crow in a cartoon: she gave to this, she did not give to that. Lakshmi – happiness, beauty, harmony – Neptunian principle.

Venus occupies a special place in Egyptian mythology. Here Venus is most clearly revealed at the collision of the Moon, Saturn and Neptune in the form of Isis. She is called the goddess of fertility, water and wind. It is very easy to decipher. Fertility - Taurus. Water - Pisces. Wind, air - Libra. Isis is the highest female deity of the Egyptian pantheon. It presents all three female potencies.

Roman Flora, Slavic Lada (flourishing, engagement, unification of principles, marital harmony) - all this is Venus.

By the way, the tree of life as an occult symbol is a female figure. In Slavic folklore, it is symbolized by a willow, flexible, easily bending, weaving. Oddly enough, except for oak and yew, all trees were associated with the feminine principle.

Returning to the difference between explosive Martian development and organic Venusian development, we note that modern humanity has adopted the metaphor of predation.
Environmental disasters, conflicts, wars, and clashes are based on this special human worldview. Psychologists have found out that our worldview is dismembering, dividing, scattering to the sides, this is the worldview of a predator. It classifies objects, selects what is necessary and determines the ways to achieve the goal. But along with rigid consumption in the form of “even a flood after us,” there is also a plant metaphor, a metaphor of organic growth, symbiosis - Yggdrasil, Venus. When we need something from a person, it is worth thinking about what he needs from us. When we are faced with a situation, it can be considered dialogically: what the situation (or egregor) wants from us. The ability to take the position of another, to consider ourselves through the eyes of the one with whom we encountered, is the implementation of the principle of plant cohabitation, coexistence, symbiosis - a calm, rhythmic, coordinated existence in the context of a single whole.

Subtle human bodies grow like a biocenosis. Bodies are not individual beings, but floors of life, plant communities. This understanding of subtle bodies, brought by A. Podvodny, really reveals their secret, brings rich, meaningful experiences associated with the search for answers to questions related to these bodies.

There are two reserves in a person’s life: large and small. A person discovers a great reserve when he breaks through into the unknown, when he overcomes the Ego, and frees himself from limiting circumstances. This is contact with a higher occult Power, merging with the Absolute, etc. But first it is necessary to master a small reserve.
It is very large compared to what we have in ordinary life. A small reserve is an ordering of what is, an attempt to fit into the rhythms that are given, the search and actualization of those possibilities that are natural for the present moment. A small reserve is a reserve of peace, gradualism, reasonable, calm persistence. And if you remember the Venusian metaphor of plant life, many problems will dissolve by themselves, and the door will easily open in the right direction.

Mantic meanings of Eyvaz

Situation: choice.
Challenge: threat of defeat.

A person will find himself on the razor's edge, on the verge of defeat, if he does not understand what to do, what state to find and what experience to rely on.

Warning: Your personal strength is not enough.

This implies the need for human contact with the egregor. A person cannot make a choice based on personal power. He needs to attract this force from above, from the depths. This can be done in a special state: in the experience of Venus. It is necessary to restore the vertical channel of communication with the egregor and see what the whole wants.

Directions: Overcome feelings of disgust (or reluctance to make a choice).

Disgust is a symbol of wrong vision. Distortions arise due to the accentuation of one or another pole. Correct vision is to see everything without any special preferences. And then it will be clear where to go and what to prefer.

Tip: turn on the anticipation mechanism and don’t rush your answer.
Consolation: correct behavior will coordinate your life rhythm with the global one.

Problems Eyvaz

The need to change the behavior that created the impasse. The situation does not allow you to feel yourself. Adjust your perception to a more subtle mode, that is, make a turn from external to internal: from yourself to the egregor.

Right actions are always calm. The basis of right action is adequate experience. It is not just about emotion, but about emotion that brings a response.
