Using a Bindrune for Casting Intention
Casting a witch’s intention can take a variety of forms but I wanted something I could use on a more regular basis when casting the final intention of a spell or working. Since I work rune magick, a bindrune is the perfect solution. I can use it as the foundational energy from which all other magicks can flow. In fact, I plan to burn it into a larger piece of wood to use as a table of sorts to provide additional power to the working itself.
The interesting aspect of this bindrune is the fact that all the runes used, other than Inguz, are presented in all directions. Inguz begins the energetic binding by appearing as the diamond shape in the center representing the sudden release of as yet undeveloped potential. It signifies the seed of creation, inner focus, and grounding.
But if you look more closely, both Thurisaz, Thor’s rune, and Kenaz, the torch or light of Spirit, are bound within Inguz. Thurisaz breaks through barriers and obstacles while also casting the intention for protection and defense, while Kenaz draws in and expresses the light of Spirit into the working itself.
I drew Fehu at each elemental quarter to cast the intention to the four elements which you’ll notice is reflected by the two intersecting lines which bind all runic energies together. A dot terminates each elemental quarter as well as their directions…
