In addition to being representative of the Aryan caste system Mr Cooper also proposes that they represent a three-fold system of initiation. The ancient Germanic system of magical initiation has 3 degrees of Apprentice, Fellow and Master. The Rune Gild is one organisation which follows this system. Universities continue to organise their academic degrees in a three-fold system, although Master is the second rather than the third degree. Mr Cooper makes reference to both the tripartite caste system and initiatory degrees in his book and how they are based on the division of 'Aryan tribal societies'. Mr Cooper's work is highly esoteric in nature but is well worth examining. By working with the runes we engage in a magical process of initiation. We remember that they are the gift of the High Lord and Rune Master Woden Himself and it is He who initiates us.

The Tripartite Aryan Caste and Initiatory Systems Reflected in the Elder Futhark
D. Jason Cooper in his Esoteric Rune Magic theorises a link between the 3 aettir of the Elder Futhark and the tripartite Aryan caste system. In his theory "when the Aryan tribes swept from the steppes" they brought with them a society that was "already divided into three groupings". He calls these groupings 'protocastes'.He refers to the first Aett, Freyja's Aett as being the aett of the nurturer, the second aett, Heimdall's Aett as being the aett of the warrior and the third aett, Tir's Aett as being the aett of the priest/king.
