- The Yew Working
-
- By Edred Thorsson (transcribed by Grendel, profaner of copyrights who
- thinks this is helping popularize his material, not
- steal it).
-
-
- The Yew-Working seeks to synthesize the runic forces of the heavenly
- and chthonic streams in the consciousness of the vitki.
-
- (Preferably, this working should be performed in bare feet on the
- surface of the earth.)
-
- 1. Stand facing north with your arms at your sides.
-
- 2. Settle and concentrate your mind with a few deep breaths or through
- the use of breathing exercises.
-
- 3. Center your attention below your feet, at the imaginary infinitely
- small center of the Earth, where-from the subterranean streams of power
- spring; visualize this as pitch black and then intone the formula
- uuuuuuuuuuuu. As this force rises from the center of the Earth and
- streams into your feet and is formulated into a black sphere of about
- 6" diameter, halt intonation of the vocalic formula. Hold this image in
- your mind.
-
- 4. Turn your attention to the wide expanses of the World above your
- head. Visualize the zone of white energy of infinite expanse, intoning
- the vocalic formula aaaaaaaaaaaa as this force flows from a wide
- expanse into a vertical column to the crown of your head and formulates
- a white sphere. Hold this image, along with that of the black sphere,
- and stop for a moment to consider the polarity, the force of
- attraction between them which is palpably manifested throughout the
- vertical column formed by the length of your body.
-
- 5. Next, turn your attention to the region of your genital organs and
- visualize a column of energy rising from the black sphere, slowly
- becoming deep blue as you intone the vocalic formula iiiiiiiiiiii and
- it stops in the genital region and forms a sphere. Holding these
- various images, proceed to the next step.
-
- 6. Turn your attention to the region of your upper chest (at the top of
- your sternum) and visualize a column of force descending from the white
- sphere and the crown of your head, becoming pink and finally bright red
- as it reaches your upper chest, where it too forms a birght red sphere.
- During this process, intone the vocalic formula eeeeeeeeeeee. Once this
- sphere has been established, you may halt the intonation of the vocalic
- formula, again to pause and consider the polarity between these two
- complexes of cosmic energy. As you do so, you will feel the ever
- increasing force of attraction each has for the other.
-
- 7. Now visualize the forces of these two complexes simultaneously
- meeting in your solar plexus region as a bright green sphere is formed
- that radiates with a golden or bright yellow light from its center.
- Intone the vocalic formula oooooooooooo during this process.
- Concentrate on the wholeness of this structure and its fundamental
- unity with yourself.
-
- 8. Now, to end this rite, being to circulate the collected and
- intensified force from your center throughout the length of the
- structure with the vocalic formula eeeeeeeeeeee (a lax neutral vowel
- sound during which all the muscles of the mouth as relaxed). The energy
- will flow up and down the length of the vertical column within your
- body, becoming focused and intensified at each of the centers, or
- wheels, within your system.
-
- 9. End by gathering all energy in the center, allowing it to re-balance
- itself throughout your system. Relax and finish with a few deep
- breaths.
