# Runic Seminar: Shi School — Rune Meanings, Tree Correspondences, and Runescript Craft

Based on the Velya forum thread "Конспект рунического семинара" (Notes from a Runic Seminar) by Амон Ра (t509), from the School of Magic Shi (Школа Магии Ши).

This reference documents a distinct Russian esoteric tradition of runic practice that differs significantly from the English-language RuneDictionary.com tradition in its tree correspondences, auxiliary rune meanings, and practical magical techniques. It complements the Batyushkov/Asvin mantic tradition ([rune-combinations-mantic.md](rune-combinations-mantic.md)) and the Kys A.N. psychological tradition ([rune-mantic-kys.md](rune-mantic-kys.md)) by providing a **third school** focused on runic crafting, runescript construction, and the material-energetic dimension of rune work.

## 1. Core Principles

### Primary and Auxiliary Meanings

Every rune possesses, first, its own **direct meaning**, and second, an **auxiliary meaning** — a functional role it can play when added to a runescript:

- **Raido**: direct = "path, journey"; auxiliary = "synthesis" (connects and combines elements)
- **Eihwaz**: also serves as a synthesis rune (connecting and harmonizing)
- **Fehu**: direct = "wealth, money"; auxiliary = "providing a runescript with material loading/energetic charge"

### The Principle of Directed Flow

When you carve a rune, you are **tracing a flow** and directing it into the channel you need. A runescript is created to adjust this flow relative to a specific situation or desire.

### Fundamental Rules

1. **Never inscribe the current situation.** For example, if you want to protect someone, do not carve Hagalaz to represent their current dangerous situation. Instead, immediately inscribe what you want to *achieve*. Casting runes gives diagnosis; carving runes allows you to correct the situation based on the prior "case history."

2. **Carve runes beautifully and harmoniously.** Runes must be cut with aesthetic precision — they work more cleanly when well-crafted.

3. **Unexpected runes are meaningful.** If an unplanned rune emerges in a bind-rune composition, it is likely not accidental — it is cause for reflection on what additional force is manifesting.

---

## 2. Runescript Types

### Bound Runescript (Вязаный)

A runescript in which an **ordered sequence** of rune actions is established. A bound rune is like an irrigation system — the flow passes through each rune in a predetermined order. "Weaving differs from tangles by the presence of a pattern" (Плетение от колтуна отличается наличием закономерности).

### Complex Runescript

A runescript in which **all runes are bound simultaneously** and act as a complex — all forces activate at once rather than in sequence.

### Palindrome Runescript

A runescript with a **central rune** to which identical runes are attached on both sides. It is read as a single entity from either direction.

**Important caution with palindromes:** The central rune's full spectrum applies. For example, a person who wants to become rich through transformation takes Dagaz (transformation). But Dagaz's spectrum is wide — theoretically, the person could die and become a holy martyr. Adding Fehu on both sides of Dagaz clarifies what transformation and what outcome are desired. This can be further refined by adding Uruz on both sides.

**Palindrome combination examples:**
- **Uruz-Dagaz-Fehu** — "get rich quickly" (primal force accelerates transformation into wealth)
- **Fehu-Dagaz-Othala** — "get rid of a relative and receive an inheritance"

In a palindrome, runes can be interwoven not only horizontally but also vertically simultaneously.

## 3. Pigments and Coloring

### Traditional Color

The traditional color for painting runes is **red**. The use of blood is a highly personal question, the answer to which depends on your readiness to use it and the meaning it acquires for you.

**Blood options:**
- Your own blood — creates a **harder binding** between you and the rune; can be considered a **sacrifice** when you need to achieve something
- Animal blood — also acceptable

**Recommended pigments:**
- **Ochre** — red from iron oxide
- **Hematite** — red from iron content
- Acceptable shades range from **orange to burgundy**

**Naturalness test:** Drop a pinch of the proposed pigment into a glass of water. If after a few hours the substance settles as sediment and the water remains clear, the pigment is natural. If the water remains colored, the pigment is artificial (synthetic dyes are not suitable for runic work).

---

## 4. Universal and Specialized Trees

### Three Universal Trees

Three trees are suitable for carving **any rune**:

1. **Ash** (ясень) — the world tree, Yggdrasil; universal connection
2. **Yew** (тисс) — the tree of death and immortality; Eihwaz's tree; connects to the lower worlds
3. **Oak** (дуб) — the tree of strength and endurance; Thor's tree

### Secondary Universal Trees

- **Birch** (берёза) — good for most runes; pure, pliable growth energy
- **Hazel** (орешник/лещина) — particularly good for **mantic** (divinatory) use of runes

### Purpose-Dependent Tree Selection

The Shi school's tree system is **polyvalent** — each rune can be carved on different woods depending on which aspect of the rune's meaning you want to activate. This is a major difference from the English tradition which assigns a single tree per rune.

## 5. All 24 Runes — Shi School Interpretations

### I Aett — Freyr/Freyja's Eight

#### ᚠ Fehu
- **Direct meaning:** Money, wealth
- **Auxiliary meaning:** Sending energy into form-creating spheres; providing a runescript with material loading
- **Combination:** Fehu+Nauthiz — binds a person to what they acquire (creates lasting attachment)
- **Trees:** Black elder (чёрная бузина; use red elder if black is unavailable). Rowan (рябина) for achieving wealth through inspiration and success; elder (бузина) for achieving prosperity through patience ("You don't have to dig up a chest of gold — you can earn it")

#### ᚢ Uruz
- **Direct meaning:** Vital force, the difference between poles, the contrast between black and white
- **Auxiliary meaning:** An infusion of primal force
- **Correspondences:** Contrasts with Sowilo as contrast relates to brightness. One of the **runes of sexual magic** — used in love spells (across the "+" and "–" poles, male and female). Connected to Kern. Can also mean the destructive force of nature, the elements, and can invoke it or its manifestations in a person's life
- **Tree:** Birch — tree of pure, pliable growth energy

#### ᚦ Thurisaz
- **Direct meaning:** The gate, the threshold
- **Magical applications:** Used in love/sexual magic. Associated with Thor as the defender of common people; protection from witches; structuring chaos. Connected to thorn and the subconscious (depths, illusions) — can be used to create **mists/illusions** (мороки), to prevent someone from realizing something that is already approaching. As a "thorn" it causes anxiety (in love magic). Thorn is a tree used in **Black Moon magic**
- **Protection caveat:** The rune can serve a protective function, but remember that Thor's hammer is not a precision weapon — "it's better for everyone to duck"
- **Combinations:** Thurisaz+Ansuz — direct appeal to Thor for help; Ansuz adjusted by Thurisaz — helps a person lie so flawlessly that "a mosquito won't nose in" (invoking Loki)
- **Tree:** All thorny shrubs, especially blackthorn (тёрн) and hawthorn (боярышник)

#### ᚨ Ansuz
- **Direct meaning:** Order, legality, erecting a wall — not as limitation but as the axis on which order rests
- **Magical applications:** Ensures contact with the gods. Rune of speech, word, breath — grants eloquence before an exam or legal proceedings. Through Ansuz you can **breathe life into a rune**. For an ordinary person — divine patronage
- **Combinations:** Ansuz+Thurisaz — appeal to Thor (see above). **Isa+Ansuz** — total muteness (variant: throat cancer). **Isa+Nauthiz** — asthma
- **Important:** Pay close attention to the sequence of rune carving. Order matters.
- **Tree:** Ash (ясень)

#### ᚱ Raido
- **Direct meaning:** Movement, driving force; direction must be set by other runes
- **Auxiliary meaning:** Synthesis (see Section 1)
- **Combinations:**
  - Raido+Kenaz — loops the situation, forces going in circles
  - Raido+Dagaz — going back and forth
  - Raido+Jera — an enchanted circle (замкнутый круг)
  - Raido+Thurisaz — knocks off the path
- **Trees:** Depends on purpose. Direct aspect: **oak** as symbol of the core of human personality — the path to oneself. Can be adjusted for any other task. **Maple** (клён) — accelerates movement, but remember that maple is the tree of human life and human conflicts

#### ᚲ Kenaz
- **Direct meaning:** Torch, ulcer, wound, fire (Promethean); warms some, burns others
- **Magical applications:** Plague is the same fire, only occurring inside a person or community. Corpses during epidemics were burned. Fire, by burning, can purify a human body to the point of death (body temperature exceeding 42°C). The **first rune in the group of healing runes**
- **Tree:** Pine (сосна). Pine oil and the scent of a pine forest bring clarity and healing

#### ᚷ Gebo
- **Direct meaning:** Gift, equilibrium, partnership, friendship
- **Magical applications:** True union = freedom. A very mathematical, cold rune for achieving equilibrium. A gift awaiting a response. Can be used to **bind someone**: inscribe this rune in a gift with the binding "gift — response," and the person will be under the pressure of obligation to you; the link "response — responsibility"
- **Tree:** Elm (вяз) — synthesis, freedom

#### ᚹ Wunjo
- **Direct meaning:** Joy, glory, excellent completion of something
- **Magical applications:** Can induce joyous madness, create an illusion so that a person does not act because they have the feeling that everything is already done (+Thurisaz for mist). In this aspect: **spruce** (ель). If using the rune in the aspect of joy as calm and harmony: **ash** (ясень)

---

### II Aett — Heimdall's Eight

#### ᚾ Nauthiz
- **Direct meaning:** Need, necessity
- **Magical applications:** Can be useful to wake up, to move forward. Used in love spells as a **binding rune** and in general as a rune of compulsion, of binding. **Ingwaz+Nauthiz** in a love spell means "you really want specifically here"

## 6. Comparative Table: Tree Correspondences Across Traditions

This table compares the Shi school's tree assignments with the English-language tradition (RuneDictionary.com) documented in [rune-interpretations.md](rune-interpretations.md) and [elder-futhark-deep-dive.md](elder-futhark-deep-dive.md). Major divergences are noted.

| Rune | English Tradition | Shi School (Primary) | Key Differences |
|------|------------------|---------------------|-----------------|
| ᚠ Fehu | Elder | Black elder / Rowan | Same family (elder) but Shi differentiates black vs. red and adds rowan for inspiration-path |
| ᚢ Uruz | Birch | Birch | **Agreement** |
| ᚦ Thurisaz | Hawthorn / Blackthorn | Blackthorn / Hawthorn | Same trees, different emphasis: Shi adds Black Moon connection |
| ᚨ Ansuz | Ash | Ash | **Agreement** |
| ᚱ Raido | Oak | Oak / Maple | Oak agrees; Shi adds maple for acceleration |
| ᚲ Kenaz | Pine | Pine | **Agreement** |
| ᚷ Gebo | Elm / Linden | Elm | Elm agrees; Shi drops linden |
| ᚹ Wunjo | Ash | Spruce / Ash | Ash agrees; Shi adds spruce for "joyous madness" aspect |
| ᚺ Hagalaz | Yew | Rowan / Yew | Yew agrees; Shi adds rowan and distinguishes aspects |
| ᚾ Nauthiz | Rowan | Beech | **Major divergence** — Rowan vs. Beech (necessity + desire) |
| ᛁ Isa | Alder | Black alder / Oak / Aspen | Alder agrees; Shi differentiates by purpose (stabilize/slow/block) |
| ᛃ Jera | Oak | Hazel | **Major divergence** — Oak vs. Hazel |
| ᛇ Eihwaz | Yew | Yew | **Agreement** |
| ᛈ Perthro | Oak | Beech / Viburnum / Spruce | **Major divergence** — all different trees, polyvalent |
| ᛉ Algiz | Rowan | Rowan | **Agreement** |
| ᛊ Sowilo | Juniper | Amber / Laurel / Juniper / Spindle tree | Juniper agrees; Shi adds amber, laurel, spindle |
| ᛏ Tiwaz | Oak / Spruce / Holly | Spruce / Hazel / Oak / Holly | All overlap; Shi differentiates by purpose |
| ᛒ Berkano | Birch | Birch | **Agreement** |
| ᛖ Ehwaz | Ash / Oak | Ash / Oak | **Agreement** |
| ᛗ Mannaz | Maple | Maple | **Agreement** |
| ᛚ Laguz | Willow | Willow | **Agreement** |
| ᛜ Ingwaz | Apple | Apple | **Agreement** |
| ᛞ Dagaz | Spruce / Oak | Spruce / Oak | **Agreement** |
| ᛟ Othala | Hawthorn | Hawthorn | **Agreement** |

**Summary:** 12 runes show agreement or partial agreement; 5 runes show major divergences (Nauthiz, Jera, Perthro, and the purpose-dependent variations for Isa and Wunjo). The Shi school's most distinctive contribution is the **polyvalent system** — using different trees for different aspects of the same rune, rather than assigning a single tree per rune.
