RUNES – SIGNATURE OF CELESTIAL POWERS

The age of the Runes and especially their origin is still a disputed subject.
The oldest mentioning of their use as a written language is from about 200 A.D. but old Viking and Anglo-Saxon chronicles mention the system of runes as the written language of the druids (Celtic priests). They would use it for religious acts, magic, and divination. The symbols had been transmitted among priests as a secret religious alphabet, since the 7th century B. C.
The word 'rhuna' is provided by the term 'runa' from the Gothic language and it means secret; the verb 'runen' means 'to whisper in secret',' to exorcise', or 'to invoke in whisper'.
The Celtic migration determined the spreading of the Runes to other European people who used it as an alphabet. The most common alphabet is “The Old Futhark” (called as such after the first six letters) – between 200 B.C. and 7th century A.D.
Both spiritual traditions of the Germanic people and the cosmogony concept reflected in the Northern mythology clearly refer to the symbolic runes who had been considered as a 'bridge' between power and Divine Will. It used to be present within all elements and signs of Divine Creation : 'gods' (high evolved celestial entities) who reign these symbols, simple graphic signs representing forces and objects in Nature, a 'language' people could understand.
The runic symbols had been considered like a real mystery. They had been considered to be 'forces', secret allies whom only the Initiate people could have used. Goals used to be different: they influenced the weather, the ripping of the crops, cures, protection, but their magical use had been transmitted by word of mouth. Old chronicles keep certain notions about the art of divination; the goal is performing “a dialogue”, consulting the Celestial Powers, asking for the opinion of the “invisible advisors” - spiritual entities who represent the Divine Force, connected to a vital action that would be performed.
Runes are connected to Christian religious mystery. Not accidentally, there are 24 Runes – the same as the number of the members of the Divine Court of Doomsday. The Christian esoteric science states that Son of God is assisted by The 24 Old men, at Doomsday. They are high evolved Spiritual Entities of the celestial hierarchy – their identity and spiritual evolution are mysterious; they form the “Divine Council” for judging human beings and have the mission of judging human souls and their evolution in the moment of Doomsday.
The 24 High-Spiritual Entities who surround the Divine Throne of the Righteous Judge consider the present human being less evolved. “The 24” are mentioned in religious texts as: The Old men, The Princes of the Sky, God’s Gathering, The Judges of Human Souls, The Divine Advisors, God’s Apprentices, God’s Collaborators, The Masters of Destiny, and The Masters of Karma. We can consider them evolution and time rulers, because Time and Evolution are strongly connected together and they rule human thoughts, feelings, and actions. They decide the judgment or the reward and the shape human beings would reincarnate in. We gain our 'shape' according to the results we obtain while living on Earth (the number and the degree of difficulty of the trials as well as individual and collective experience). Beauty and perfection of the Divine Principle are not the same thing; there is only harmony and purity within the Divine Plan.
The astral projection on the life of “The 24” is present in the Cancer Constellation: there is a group of 24 stars whom we generically call Praesepe (in Latin) – 'The Presidium.'; it is situated in the middle of the constellation.
