Ac Rune Exercises: Anglo Saxon Additional Runes
Ac Rune: The Anglo-Saxon additional Runes do not have the same weight as the 24 Elder Runes. The Additional “runes” actually denote a specialized application of a rune or other magickal potency or principle. As my primary instruction was of German origin, the Anglo Saxon additional runes were not used by us. Many years ago, I had decided to explore these additional Runes further. Though I do not use them much myself, they are sure to be of use to others. Likewise, they are a good exercise in further understanding the Elder Runes and Northern magickal symbols.
Ac: 
Exercise 1: The Ac is the oak, a tree sacred to Odin. It is also the wood of a sturdy ship and a source of fodder. That implies strength, and is akin to Urus. The Ac is like a boat plowing strongly through the waves. It parts the waves and moves boldly through rough seas. If you have ever been in a powered boat, you know how it feels. A sailboat or motor boat plows through the water, its movement sure and strong. To ride in such a boat is to experience Ac as a blend of strength and power.
Exercise 2: The Ac power pushes everything before it. Like the prow of a boat, it parts waves and brushes aside opposition. This is a forward moving power. Just as a boat parts waves, so a plow parts snow. If you have ever watched the snow plows at work, you are seeing a manifestation of Ac at work. If you have ever been shoveling, but pushed the snow (grain ,sand, dirt, etc) rather than lifting and heaving it, you have experienced th Ac principle.
Alternate Exercise: Try wading through waist -deep water or trudging through deep snow. There you are applying the Ac principle.
Alternate Exercise: think of the Urus Rune as a wild bull charging and breaking through a fence. Compare it to the smoother, forward rush of a boat taking on difficult or choppy water. In its role as moving through difficulties, Ac is a smoother aspects of Urus. In fact, it is Urus with a little Thurs at the front edge. Ponder this.
Think of references to Oak. Things like “the mighty oak,” “as dense as oak,” etc. These can offer more insight into the Ac Rune.
