Bindrune to Burn It All to the Ground
Bindrune to Burn It All to the Ground: Ziu, Cweorth, Sowelu
If you are new to working with bindrunes, I suggest you read the introductory bindrune post here, then return to this post to read about this specific bindrune.
This is an intense and unpredictable rune. It is most definitely NOT a rune for someone new to magic and/or bindrunes.
If you are looking for a bindrune to help with change in a manageable way, I suggest the Bindrune for Gradual Change or the Bindrune for Navigating Change with Grace. Either of them will help you navigate your way to a new path in a less traumatic manner. Additionally, the Bindrune for Resources to Manage Change from last week will help you create the circumstances and physical needs to create needed change.
However, there may come a point where it really doesn’t matter. Where you truly do not have time or ability to dig your way out of this mess—or where it’s not safe to do so. Where you just need to burn it to the ground and walk away.
While doing that on the physical plane is a bad idea (arson is a serious crime), you can do it on an energetic level. If you are stuck in a situation that has just gone on too damn long, and if there is truly no gracious way out, then this bindrune can accomplish that goal. I suggest this only for the most extreme situation—an abusive relationship, or one in which you are being held captive in some way that requires sheer force to break free.
Ziu (gold, left tile): This is the strike of divine lightning of judgment that starts the fire. (Think of the Tower card in traditional Tarot decks.) Using this rune brings in the energies of Tyr, so make sure you are in the right in the situation. Tyr is all about justice, and you cannot invoke Him to ask for injustice without suffering yourself (and having your request denied in a most vehement manner).
Cweorth (red, center tile): This rune represents the human fire created by the fire-twirl, a hand tool used to start a fire using friction. Cweorth is the fire of the funeral pyre, burning all traces of the life that had been, and scattering it as ashes to the wind. There is no reclaiming anything consigned to Cweorth; it is gone completely and forever.
Sowelu (gold, right tile): The natural light of the Sun, rounding out the types of fire energy. The sun turns fields to deserts, streams to dry flats, and living things to bleached bones, stripping them to their bare essence before they, too, turn to dust.
Be careful with this bindrune and this magic. You are breaking bonds, which has serious psychological, emotional, spiritual, and karmic effects. If you are thinking to use this bindrune and its magic to break an oath merely for convenience, I suggest you think again.
Again, this bindrune is only for the most extreme situation—an abusive relationship, or one in which you are being held captive in some way that requires sheer force to break free. If it’s not life-or-death serious on some level, don’t use this bindrune. This is dynamiting your way out, and using it merely to loosen a humidity-swollen door is an utterly inappropriate use of its power.
The bindrune on the left was done in colored pencil. The one on the right was done with fine point calligraphy markers. They are shown in two different media to give an idea of how the same bindrune looks different depending on how it is created.
You could put a drop of cinnamon oil for to reinforce the fiery energy, or a drop of your favorite oil on it to reinforce the energy with your personal scent. You can also use a magical oil, such as a hoodoo oil like Block Buster or Van Van, or other type of specially prepared oil.
If there is no other way out, then this bindrune can get you out—but be prepared for a wild, unpredictable ride.
Use this bindrune—and all bindrunes—entirely at your own risk.
