Its migration season again and I can see fellow anons posting about our beloved Winter-chan again.

However something has been bugging me since the first time I saw Winter-chan and that is that the Binding rune for her is totally off.

What the original poster (see the infographic) ignored, is that the runes not only have a name and something that they symbolize, but they also had a place as the lunar calendar of the ancient Germanic people and thus are also connected to the seasons and certain astronomical events(summer/winter solstice etc.). I include a scan of the runic calendar from a book by German rune researcher Gerhard Heß, so you can understand what I mean.

As you can see, the Isaz, Naudiz and Hagalaz rune that make up Winter-chans current Binding rune are, despite the fact that you can associated them with frost, connected to the season of summer.

Isaz falls at the end of June, at the same time the summer solstice starts (the days become longer again) and represents an arrow. From Norse Mythology we know the story of Baldurs death, who was killed by his blind brother Hodur with a mistletow arrow, which he got from Loki. Baldurs name is reconstructed to mean the "the white, the good, the shining one" and his Saxon name Baldag literally means "day".

The Mythology follows that Baldurs body was burned and to this day Saint John's Eve is still celebrated with large bonfires in the European countryside at the same time frame the summer solstice happens, these large midsummer fires are still called in some region of Sweden "balders balar" which translates to Baldurs balefire. Thus we can see a firebow, two sticks being rubbed together in the Naudzis rune and we understand what need/hardship/emergency the name of the rune represents.

After the funeral of Baldur, his half brother Váli goes out and seeks revenge. Valdir slays Hodur, kills Narfi a son of Loki and binds Loki with the entrails of Narfi. Loki is then imprisoned with a snake above his head and this starts the process that will lead to Ragnarök. Following that the Hagalaz rune represents Valdirs and Hodurs fight and the reconnection of the twin brother Baldur and Hodur in the afterlife.

As a interesting site note, the time between July and August where the Hagalaz rune is shown in the runic calendar is also the time of the year in which the most hail storms happen in Europe and the story of two divine twins facing death by the hand of the other is known in all indogermanic cultures Kastor/Pollux in Greek Mythology, the Ashvins in Vedic Mythology, the Dieva dēli from Baltic Mythology and the Celtic-Irish story of Brawen/Brân.

So considering we got the wrong runes, I went and looked up the last three runes at the end of the year of the runic calendar, which are Thurisaz, Ur and Fehu.

Thurisaz means Giant/Troll/Fiend/Monster/Devil, but is also related to the word "thorn". In more than one book about runes that I have read, the rune has been compared to images of cave paintings from the stone age, showing axes and clubs. The Thurisaz rune falls at the end of October and the beginning of November, the start of the first cold month and we all know from the story of Ragnarök, that in the end Loki frees himself and together with his children and the giants he attacks the world of man and the gods during the so called Fimbulwinter. As an old islandic rune poem says:

ᚦ Þurs er kvenna kvöl Thurs is torture of women

ok kletta búi and cliff-dweller

ok varðrúnar verr. and husband of a giantess

Saturnus þengill. Saturn's servant.

Now doesn't that sound more like our rapefugees? But lets look at the next rune Ur, the rune has traditionally been translated to mean auroch(Uruz) and connected to bull worship, but the origin of the word could also have been "water"(Ūrą). In fact the meaning of both can be true, as the connection of "water" with the middle of the rainy month November can be easily seen, but November has historically also been the month when European farmers butcher their animals before winter. In old Anglo-Saxon the November was known as Blōtmōnaþ(Blood Month) and in some German region the old name of Opfermond(sacrefice month/moon) for November is known. A connection can be made to the bloody battles taking place during Ragnarök and the sacrifices made by the gods to defeat evil.

At last we have Fehu, after the runic calendar it represents the fullmoon at the end of November and the beginning of December. Fehu means lifestock/wealth and while that seems confusing at first, one shouldn't forget that after the end of Ragnarök peace returns to the world, new gods are born, Baldur and Hodur return from the dead and the human pair Lif und Lifthrasir survived by hiding in the world tree Yggdrasil. Interestingly all runic poems related to Fehu warn of the danger wealth can bring, as an old Norwegian rune poem says:

ᚠ Fé vældr frænda róge; Wealth is a source of honeypot amongst kin;

føðesk ulfr í skóge. the wolf lives in the forest.

And old Islandic says:

ᚠ Fé er frænda róg Wealth is a source of honeypot amongst kin

ok flæðar viti and fire of the sea

ok grafseiðs gata and path of the serpent.

aurum fylkir.

All in all, I find these three runes more fitting for the situation of the rapefugee invasion and the desired end goal of worshipping the gestalt of Winter-chan. So I went and constructed a proper Binding rune from Thurisaz, Ur and Fehu and the result was surprisingly this nice borderwall looking thing.

There is no authentic Norse/heathen calendar. That is a very recent invention, and the Elder Fuþark runes had long-since fallen out of use by the Viking Age.

There are runic calendars, even in use today, though mostly as decorations.

IMHO, a bindrune with the intention of being a powerful sigil should include these three runes

ᚼ (damaging) hail

ᛁ ice

ᚾ dire need

Though it had fallen out of use in the Younger Fuþark, the Odal rune (ᛟ) still survived as house marks in Scandinavia, symbolising a family’s inherited farmland, and it could be incorporated in a protective bindrune.

There are at least two variants of the Troll Cross, one similar to the Swastika, and one based on the Odal rune: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_cross / http://archive.vn/A6Dt9

>There is no authentic Norse/heathen calendar.

Everything about ancient European cultures outside the Roman and Greeks is based on reconstruction, even the names on the runes are reconstructions. I have chosen the calendar made by Gerhard Heß, because he makes a pretty good case for the Elder Furthark to work as a lunar-solar calendar from the time period of the age of Aires in which the Germanic culture had its origin. He is able to connect that to traditions in Germanic Europe that are still done today and cross reverences that with practices and mythology from other better explored Indo-European cultures.

Because of this archeological and anthropological approach to the runes I trust the work of Gerhard Heß more than other rune researchers. Other rune researchers often times either just regurgitate the work of authors from the early 20th century or they claim to have gotten their knowledge about the runes from supernatural enlightenment(see Armanen runes).

The runic calendars of Scandinavia have their origin in the usage of the runes as a writing system, there is nothing wrong with them but they do lack the connection to the Mythology of the ancient Germanic people. The Norse cultures of Scandinavia are descendants of the Germanic culture and share many aspects, however there are also differences to the original Germanic culture.

>IMHO, a bindrune with the intention of being a powerful sigil should include these three runes

So you repeat the mistake of just using the reconstructed names of the runes to decipher their meaning and ignore what kind of cultural significance they had to the ancient Germanic people.

Culture is what people do, regardless of how much you like or dislike it. Only by acting things out can they become reality.
