Rune for the Day

The Rune for the day is Wunjo.
The Rune of JOY

Joy
Hope
Happiness
Light
Emotional Satisfaction


The Wunjo rune is similar to the 9 of Cups tarot card and The World tarot card.  There is the emotional satisfaction of the 9 of Cups and the feeling of completeness of The World.   When Wunjo is picked in a rune reading it brings a feeling of contentment and/or completeness to a reading. Wunjo as a rune of the day is reminding me of the joy and happiness I have in my life and to continue to take the necessary steps to keep these feelings alive.  
Wunjo rune poem

He enjoys Delight who know little of woe,
Of suffering and sorrow,
And has for his own prosperity, pleasure,
Eke the plenty of cities.

Rune for the Day.

I'm enjoying this lazy Sunday afternoon with my family.  I took time to write the Tarot Horoscope for The Whispering Path Tarot Blog and also to pick a Rune for the Day!

The daily rune is Pertho.

Chance

Unknown

What a nice rune for a lazy day.  Anything or nothing can happen today. I'm fine with whatever the day brings.

The tarot card equivalent to the Pertho rune would be The Wheel of Fortune.

Rune Reading for My Vacation

I'm so excited!  I'm leaving for a cruise in a few days.  It's the first cruise I have ever gone on and I hope I enjoy it.  I decided to draw a rune from my rune bag to see what energy is surrounding this event.  The rune was Raido.


The meaning of Raido is travel, (arrival or departure).  It can mean events concerning travel or vehicles.  What a perfect rune for my trip.  

On a deeper level, Raido is concerned with movement and direction.   It reminds us of the planning and foresight that is necessary to make these happen.  Raido can be a symbol of The Journey of Life and a spiritual quest.  

The Wheel of Life tarot card is similar to Raido.  They both speak of cycles and changes in ones life.

If you would like a personal rune reading or tarot reading email and book your appointment time now.  :)

Rune Reading-My Rune for today

I needed some guidance and looked to my runes.  What do I need to be aware of?

My rune for today is Sowelo


Sowelo is the rune of energy and revelation.  I took the advice of this rune and spent most of the day in the beautiful sunshine.  The energy of the sun melted deep into my soul and uplifted me as I was feeling rather 'blue'.

This rune is speaks of;


  • heat
  • energy
  • revelations
  • light
  • wholeness
  • victory
  • discovery
  • disclosure
I feel this is a very positive rune and a very positive message is being sent to me through Sowelo.  I took some time for introspection and saw that things are not as bad as I felt they were.  If fact, there were no issues at all.  I was just feeling blue.  It's amazing what a bit of sunshine can do for you.

Rune for My Anger - Today I'm Mad

Today I'm mad.  Mad at my husband.  Never mind the subject, but he's ticked me off royally.  So today, I've been doing a bit of manual work around the house, inside and out, and grumbling in my head all the while.  Now I've got the grumbles out, or at least mostly, I've decided to settle down and cast myself a Rune reading to see what I can do around the issue that set me off, and also around the issue of the lingering grumbles.

My Rune casting tells me that my concern is around a lack of forward motion - that there's a breakthrough to be had, but I'm feeling constrained and this is probably the cause of my frustrations.  In fact the lack of movement here is reinforced by two of the runes and no wonder I'm mad.  LOL.

k... I'll get over it now

Learning the Runes - Hagal


This is the second in a series of three discussions on learning runes - today it's about Hagal's runes

These eight of Hagal's are about intellect, understanding and spiritual growth.  It is often called the Mother of the Runes since it encompasses the entire universe in the process of creation.  This group of eight runes are:  Hagalaz, Nauthiz, Isa, Jera, Eihwaz, Perth, Algiz and Sowelu.

The only 'power' rune in this group of eight is Hagalaz.  It is significant when pulled up in a reading.

For now, here's a brief summary of each of the Hagal Runes...
Hagalaz is about disruption, hail, sleet, or any natural forces that damage (think floods, tornados for instance)
Nauthiz is about constraint, need, necessity, causes of human sorrow, lessons, hardship
Isa is about standstill, ice, freezing
Jera is about harvest, the term of a year, a fruitful part of the year
Eihwaz is about defense, a Yew tree, a bow made of Yew, avertive powers, runic calendars or primstaves
Perth is about initiation, uncertain meaning, a secret matter
Algiz is about protection, the elk, sedge or eelgrass
Sowelu is about wholeness, the sun, life force or victory

As with the first group of eight runes, perhaps put these on flash cards.  Get to know the basic meanings.

Stay tuned for the next eight...

Learning the Runes - Freya

Sometimes, when one is just learning a new subject, like Runes, there's an overwhelming feeling of confusion.   How to do it?  Where's the theme?   What's the rhyme?  How will I ever get these straight?

The first thing to do is give them a good sorting out... into the three groupings or aettir that they're meant to be in.  Right away that breaks it down into just eight runes to learn at a time.

Let's just take the first eight today... Freya's.   Freya is the Goddess of love and fecundity, so this group of eight runes is about love, life and happiness.   They are:  Fehu, Uruz, Thurisas, Ansuz, Raido, Kano, Gebo and Wunjo.

Now as well, Fehu, Ansuz, and Thurisaz are 'power' runes.  These are significant when pulled up in a reading.  And Wunjo, is a moderating rune - it will soften some of the impact if pulled with any negative rune.

For now, here's a brief summary of each of the Freya Runes...
Fehu is about possessions, wealth, communal wealth, cattle
Uruz is about strength, sacrificial animals, the aurochs (type of ox)
Thurisaz is about a gateway, a thorn, the God Thor
Ansuz is about signals, the mouth (source of divine utterances), a rivermouth, the God Loki
Raido is about journey, a carriage, riding, the journey of the soul after death, and can be a journey charm
Kano is about opening, a torch, a skiff, can be associated with the Goddess Nerthus
Gebo is about partnership, gifts, an offering from the gods or chiefs to their loyal followers
Wunjo is about joy, and an absence of suffering and sorrow.

So start with these... more in a later conversation.

Runes - Berkana

I love this Rune, because I love learning.   Berkana is about growth.  It is one of the Cycle Runes and represents the fertility that fosters growth both symbolically and actually.  This may be in the arena of family, relationships, the self, or even the world.

It is a gentle pervasive Rune - much like a gentle wind.  When you pull this rune, you are asked to consider your issue with care - dispense with negativity, and then just DO the work.   You are asked to be clear about the outcome, and work with patience and generosity.

I would wish this Rune upon everyone.

Rune Reading for Today

The Rune I pulled today is Raido, reversed.  Upright, this Rune Reading signals a journey, but given my present state of mind, in the reversed it's telling me to be particularly attentive to my personal relationships.  It's asking me to take care to respond with humour and resilience to whatever happens.

So while my desired outcome may not be without the discomfort of personal growth, I'm confident that this journey will be re-routed in the correct direction.

Rune Reading for Imagination

I've been a little stuck lately, and wanted to do rune reading for this - I wanted to know the energy surrounding this and how to re-charge my imagination.   The rune I pulled was Kano - the Opening which reassured me immensely.

Kano is about renewed clarity and shaking off the darkness that has been shrouding life.   So I'll take this to heart, with seriousness, intent and concentration.  It is a beginning of light and this light will allow me the ability to look around at the trivia that's holding me back and rise above.

I'll work on it.

Rune for Selling a Home

I pulled a rune today to find out what lessons there are around issues around selling my home.  It has just been put up for sale, and I wanted to know if there were any issues to be aware of .

The rune I pulled is Jera - the Rune for Harvest.  The reading attached is of good outcomes as long as it is an endeavour to which one is committed.   My husband and I are certainly committed to this move.  The rune also generally talks about a year, so this rune tells me that patience is essential for the process to complete - much like a harvest which cannot be hastened.

Sigh.

Learn Runes with a Master

I have to say I am partial to Ralph Blum's book, The Book of Runes since it was the first one I read when I was interested in learning how to read Runes.   This year is the 25th anniversary of first publishing so there's a special 25th Anniversary edition you might be interested in.

A Rune for a Birthday

It's a friend's birthday today.   I pulled a Rune for the energy of her day and got Mannaz reversed.  Mannaz is about self, feeling blocked.  I would encourage her to look inside for the enemy of her progress.  No matter what area of her life may be in uncomfortable, she needs to consider that the outer enemy is but a mirror to what she has not, until now, been able to recognize as coming from within.  She is to remember that she is always at the beginning. and with this rune,  breaking the momentum of past habit and practice is the challenge here.

The Self is required to balance the self.

Runes, Readings and the Destination


The readings of drawn or tossed Runes operate on the most basic and ancient forms of psychology.  It is a recognition of cause and effect and the interconnectedness of all things.


By accepting that fate isn't a helpless predetermined destination, but instead a destiny created by one's earlier actions then there is a realization that not only do our actions affect our immediate world and those around us, the actions of others affect us.  


So where does this leave us?  Examine a rune reading on the basis of discovering the whole environment around the issue at hand.  Know that the future is changeable based on one's actions and the various possibilities that those around us will bring to the mix.  Use the reading to uncover the likely outcome for the issue and the special care needed.

Learning Rune Meanings

The earliest runic inscriptions found on artifacts or tools give the name of either the craftsman or the propietor.  Sometimes, though it remains a mystery.  Doe to this, it is possible that the early runes were not so much used as a simple writing system, but rather as magical signs to be used for charms.

The name rune itself, taken to mean 'secret, something hidden', seems to indicate that knowledge of the runes was originally considered esoteric, or restricted to an elite.

Regardless, learning to read the meanings behind runes isn't hard - certainly it's no longer restricted to any elite except the elite who care to learn..  There are numerous books written to help out the beginner, and classes can probably be found in your locale.   I encourage you to take the time to delve into this scolarship because runes can help one divine the issues around a situation, and provide the reader with alternative solutions to their challenge.

Rune Meanings - the Elder Futhark


Elder Futhark

Elder Futhark is thought to be the oldest version of the Runic alphabet, and was used in the parts of Europe which were home to Germanic peoples, including Scandinavia. Other versions probably developed from it. The names of the letters are shown in Common Germanic, the reconstructed ancestor of all Germanic languages.
Elder Futhark

Notes

The letter k is also called kēnaz (torch) or kanō (skiff). The meaning of the letter nameperþ is unknown.

The Othala Rune



The Othala rune, pronounced “Oh-thall-ah”, is the rune of ancestral spiritual power, divine inheritance and earthly estate.  Othala deals with family, inheritance and estate matters.  Othala represents permanent wealth you have accumulated by yourself and your family over generations.

My Rune Energy for the day



The rune energy surrounding me today is Sowilo.  Sowilo is the rune of goal-setting, guidance and success.  This mirrored my tarot reading for today.  My day was successful as I had a list of things to accomplish and I completed all my tasks successfully.  :) In other words, I had a bunch of housework to do and I set my mind to it and got it all done. lol

I hope you had a Sowilo rune day too.

More About What to Ask of Runes

Sometimes when you're looking at drawing a Rune to get a general overview of the entire issue it can help you focus more clearly on your issue and provide you with a fresh perspective.

As mentioned in the previous blog, focusing on the one Rune invites you to go within and function intuitively - in other words, getting to know yourself.

Drawing a single Rune is particularly helpful under stress.  If you're dealing with an issue that is requiring quick action and you feel you don't have enough information, then search for a quiet place and draw a Rune.  Often times you'll find some more insight into the issue at hand fairly quickly.

If you'd like to learn the Runes, or receive a Rune reading on an issue you have, please contact us at The Whispering Path.

Question to the Runes on a Matter of Health

A woman came to me asking about the issue of the health of her husband, and what information he needed to know at this time regarding this issue.

The Rune I pulled was Isa.  It was apparent that her husband was feeling powerless and unable to make any movement towards good health.  She was able to confirm that he was refusing to acknowledge the input he personally had towards his health issue, and therefore, was unchanging in his personal habits.  This of course caused him to feel frustrated over the situation he was in, even though deep down, he had within him the tools to take action.

My suggestion to her was to help him find out what he believed at his core that perpetuated this situation, and then to help him release that faulty belief and prepare for new beliefs.

Stay tuned... I'll let you know how it goes.  If you feel that a Rune reading would help you gain insight into your own life, please contact us at The Whispering Path.

What to Ask of the Runes...

In general, the use of Runes isn't for fortune telling.  Rather, the Runes are a teacher and a source of guidance.  'Know thyself' is the mantra of the Runes.  Consulting them will help put you in touch with your own inner guidance, that part of you that already knows everything you need to know for your life now.

So when consulting Runes, a particularly good time to do this is when you have an issue that relates to timeliness and right action.  You might need advice on whether or not to make a career change, make an investment, move to a new home, sell a business or start a relationship.  It should always be about an issue, not a question.

In fact, the best question sometimes is to simply ask "what do I need to know for my life now?"

If you have an issue that is still troubling you, and you feel as if you have exhausted your own resources in trying to resolve the issue, then talk to us at The Whispering Path for a Rune reading.  We'd be glad to help.

Rune Reading for the Energy around bin Laden's Death

With the surprising news last night of Osama bin Laden's killing, I decided to pull a rune - my question was "what kind of energy will support the Americans through this news".  Interestingly, Eihwaz was the rune that stuck to my fingers.   This rune is about defense - perseverence and patience and caution are called for.  Take care of anticipated difficulties before they present themselves.

Very fitting, I think.

My Daily Rune


My rune for today is the rune Algiz.  This is such a positive exciting rune that some people will wear it as an amulet to enhance the positive energy that surrounds it.  If you are sick this rune can symbolize the return of good health.  Algiz is the rune of protection and suggests that now is the time to follow your intuition for a guardian angel is hovering in the background. Old and new friends at this time may offer you assistance.  An opportunity may be presented to you soon which will send you in a new direction. 

Algiz is a symbol of:
  • power
  • protection
  • communication
  • spirituality

Algiz--to have courage in the face of fear but not the absence of fear.  Fear could be a warning to us that protection and defensiveness will be needed at this time.
