The Primal Time or First Time

 

I have shown in an earlier post how the Norse AR VAR ALDA may refer to the 'Primal Time' or 'First Time'. There are also two phrases which I believe can be found in Beowulf concerning the ship-burial of Scyld - ingeardagum & aet frumscaeft. 

ingeardagum - 'in days of yore'.

aet frumscaeft - 'at the beginning'.

These translations are rather simplified and I don't think they convey the more esoteric meanings of these phrases. 

The word in-gear-dagum as 'in days of yore' is quite straightforward, and the term is still used in some places to convey an 'antiquarian' feeling. It is thus well ingrained in our English Tongue, even down to modern times. This is very similar to Ar Var Alda in its meaning. 

The phrase aet frumscaeft seems to be a little more complicated, and not being a scholar of Old English I can only do my best to try to work this one out - especially in terms of the esoteric meaning behind the phrase. The word frumscaeft - i am assuming - is fruma (beginning, primal, first, original cause, creation) and scaeft (sceaft - shaft). The word scaefta munda occurs in relation to the 'king's grith' and sceaftmund seems to mean 'a span' - i.e. a span of time. Sceaft also means 'creation', 'origin', 'existence'. 

Both of these phrases hint at a 'First Time' or 'Primal Time' and the Latin mundus refers to the world, whilst the 'Shaft-Munda' reminds me of the 'Axis Mundi' or 'World Axis'. O very much doubt if the Anglo-Saxons were not familiar with Latin, since some of the rune-names are Latin in origin, or have Latin equivalents that can give different meanings. 

The Old English gear means 'year', hence the term 'yore' which derives from this, but which refers more to an ancient time or former time. The Ger-Rune has the meaning of 'year' and should no doubt be sounded as 'year'. The Ger-Rune is the Cosmic Axis with the central 'shaft' and twin Ken-Runes (as well as being two Thorn-Runes). It is thus a glyph of Ice & Fire. It cannot be a coincidence that in the same word - sceaft - we have the concepts of a 'shaft' or 'pole' and also 'origin', 'existence', 'creation', nor that both these words - fruma and sceaft have similar meanings, so why use both of these together? I can only think that this emphasises the meaning in some way so that the reader will understand that there is a hidden meaning. The Ger-Rune may thus have some connections to the 'Days of Yore' - the First Time. 

There is also the point that the Norse equivalent to the Ger-Rune (Year-Rune/Yore-Rune) is named AR, found in AR VAR ALDA. The following sequence helps us to see further into these Mysteries -

AR ER IR OR UR

It seems possible that the term AR refers to the Black Sun of the Ancient World, whilst RA may be the Sun-God linked to the Golden Sun. The term 'Ar' also means 'Eagle' and refers to the 'King of the Birds'. It also gives rise to the word Arya or Aryan - the Sun-Generator - but referring to the Ancient Black Sun. Today the Black Sun is the 'Occulted' Sun or 'Hidden Sun', since we are living through the darkest era of the Age of Darkness. 

At this time it is necessary to look inwards towards ourselves, in order to change things outside; Miguel Serrano pointed out that the Swastika (Fylfot) turns widdershins (anti-clockwise) - against the flow of time - and thus turns backwards towards the First Time or Primal Time and to the lost Golden Age. 

It is amazing how such a phrase as 'In Days of Yore' has weathered the storms of the ages, and can still be used to refer to a 'Former Time'. There are so many of these old phrases that contain hidden mysteries, and if these are lost to us then it negates the whole work of the Initiates who were responsible for keeping these alive through getting them into the Common Tongue for everyday use. This is also one of the things that is so often overlooked by those who seek knowledge of our past, since we have so many of the Ancient Mysteries hidden in nursery rhymes, children's tales, and in the everyday phrases we use that have hidden meanings. But...these will all be in danger of being lost to us as the Forces of Darkness seek to wipe out our past altogether.
