Othala is the rune of the tribe, clan or family. It is the rune invoked to protect the family from unwholesome influences. Othala embodies the concept of things passed down from generation to generation. Anything from genetics to spirits are passed down in this manner. Othala embodies the virtuous deeds and their rewards from being passed down from generation to generation. This is the positive statement of the idea “the sins of the parents are visited unto the children”. It was believed in ancient cultures that good deeds and bad deeds are passed down the generations. In modern terms it is the idea of; if your parents do right actions to their children by assuring they get a good education, helps the children get to collage and gives all the children the abilities to survive in a harsh world, than you have done right actions according to the Othala rune. If on the other hand you are a bad partent and cause disability and refuse to teach your children how to survive in this harsh world than you are seen as cursed according to the rules expressed by the othala rune.
The othala or “O” rune is a powerful rune of Odin and serves as a monogram. Othala is a balance rune because it gives you liberty in a lawful society. It balances liberty with authority. Here othala shares a concept with Albert Pike of the Free Masons. In the book called “Morals and Dogma” by Albert Pike, Pike clearly expresses the idea of the balance between liberty and authority. He explains the original reason for our three branches of government and how it was supposed to function before we destroyed the original idea. “Morals and Dogma” by the title sounds like it would be boring but it is not. The title is misleading due to the fact that it was published in 1871. So those terms meant a totally different idea than the way we have changed it. It is worth reading for any one who wishes to understand religious philosophy and multi-religious beliefs. “Magnum Opus” is the early name of the same book. Under this title Pike is less Christian sounding if you are curious about the first draft.
The othala rune embodies the concept of how a society should run. To ignore these principles of the othala rune is the destruction of your society. Even in forms of dictatorships they have to fallow this principle or they self destruct. Same is true in Democracies. Here is Odin as ruler of society and his way of balancing can be harsh for those who refuse to hear the polite message. The harsh way of Odin is if the people who are oppressed rise up and fight with force of arms to get the balance that was not given them in the society. It is the self correcting principle of history moving to correct the wrongs of society.
Othala also embodies wealth and prosperity in the form of land. This kind of wealth includes joint wealth by the clan, tribe or nation. This wealth is shared by the people not horded by the individual. Fehu is the mobile wealth like sheep, goats and cattle. In modern times this mobile wealth of Fehu would include money. Othala is solid wealth of land. This is a group centered rune hence the property is group property. It is not egotistical acquisition of wealth by the individual at the expense of the tribe. Othala is a loyal family, tribe or national unit working together for the better good of the whole unit. This is a concept that Americans have no knowledge of because no one here has a living memory when this country acted according to this rune. All ancient tribes had a form of primitive communism where things were shared and people protected each other as a unit and a whole. This life style has not happened since America had the American Indian tribes living on this land the way they did before they were put on Reservations. Europe on the other hand has attempted to embrace this concept in modern times.
Magical Workings
1, Maintaining order among fellows.
2, Concentration on common interests in home and family and nation.
3, Shift from ego-centricity to clano-centricity (group oriented ).
4, Collection of divine power and knowledge from past generations.
5, Acquisition of wealth and prosperity.
Draw the rune in red. Meditate and breathing rhythmically pronounce the rune three times. Othala, Othala, Othala. Ooooooooooo. Do this for five minutes working up to twenty minutes.
