Rún Valdr (which means "Rune Power" or "Rune Authority) is a system of energy healing and spiritual development that employs the ancient Norse Runes with additional channelled symbols of power.
The Norse Runes are more than just 'letters' or an 'alphabet' (although they were used for writing). They were also symbols of power, each depicting and evoking a different component/facet of the Universal Light energy that permeates all of creation. These symbols were used for many purposes including healing, protection and magick.
The Rún Valdr system was devised by Rodney Cox - a dedicated Priest in the Northern Tradition. Through his spiritual work, study of the Runes and his communication with his gods, Odin (God of the Runes, poetry & magick) and Freya (Goddess of fertility & love), the Rún Valdr system gradually took shape. And through practice, Rodney (and many others since) recognised the power and authenticity of Rún Valdr.
As well as being a wonderful method of passing on Universal Light energy (also called Reiki, Chi, Prana, Odic Energy and Universal Life Force Energy) for healing, Rún Valdr empowers the practitioner to direct the healing through the application of specific Runes and symbols that are most beneficial. The active role taken by the practitioner is very different from the more passive function of the healer in other systems. This major difference leads to a more shamanic healing experience with Rún Valdr than with other energy healing modalities.
Many healing systems have developed in recent years that combine the teachings of Usui Reiki with additional techniques and symbols. Although, as an energy healing system, Rún Valdr may be compared with techniques such as Reiki, it is a system complete to itself and is far more versatile in its application.
In addition to working with Rún Valdr to effect healing, it may also be used for magickal purposes - hallowing sacred objects or attuning them to be used for specific purposes and so on. The possibilities for using Rún Valdr in this way are virtually endless - the system is so comprehensive that the potential applications are limited only by the ideas and practices of the practitioner who works with it.
Therefore, through regularly working with this system, the Rún Valdr applications grow and develop with the knowledge and experience of the practitioner.
