|
PERTHRO |
This Rune is associated with
the Phoenix, the mystical bird that consumes itself in the fire to later
rise from its own ashes. Powerful forces of change and renovation are in
movement. On the side of the mundane, there will probably be surprises
such as sudden gains or the start of an unexpected relationship. On the
spiritual side, it is time to rise above yourself, above ordinary
living, in order to acquire a wider vision. Perth reminds you that the
external is unimportant, except when it is a reflection of the internal.

ELHAZ |
Opportunities and new
challenges are characteristic of this Rune. With them, however, unwanted
influences may arrive, and thus it becomes necessary to protect
yourself. Here, your maximum protection is the right action at the right
moment. If you are experiencing pain, don't deny it or try to hide from
what is happening. Observe it and learn from it, feel it and let it go:
the more you allow yourself to feel it, the faster you will be able to
release it. Algiz reminds you that you will grow, and being aware of
this may be your best protection in moments of doubt. |
|
SOWILO |
This is a Rune of great
power that indicates a moment of profound regeneration, a search for
totality. It signals the need to become aware of your essence in order
to express it in a creative manner, thus increasing your vital force. It
also points to the need of admitting something that you have long
denied, something that has remained under the shadows: now it is time to
bring it out unto the light. It might be prudent to stay away from a
pressing situation, remembering that withdrawing at the right time is a
sign of force and not of weakness. |
|
TIWAZ |
Masculine energy and the
active principle are characteristic of this Rune, bringing as a result
an anxiety to conquer. Tiwaz is the Rune of courage, dedication and
absolute trust in one's own resources. In situations on interpersonal
relations or devotion to a cause, Tiwaz advises perseverance, at the
same time reminding you that patience can sometimes be a kind of
perseverance. Look within yourself and deeply analyze the foundations of
your life. By doing this, you may get to know and harness your deepest
and most powerful resources. |
|
BERKANO |
This Rune indicates
flowering and maturation, and is related to new forms. Growth can occur
in everyday, family or interpersonal situations. The process of
self-change is in movement and will be benefited. For growth to occur
freely, however, Berkano advises you to
eliminate all resistances through a deep cleansing process. If
necessary, ask for expert help to carry it out. Once resistance is
cleared out through constancy and a proper attitude, then flowering can
occur. |
|
EHWAZ |
This Rune signals a time of
transition and transformation. It indicates changes of all kinds: of
house, attitude, life, business directions or personal relations. Ehwaz
informs you that you are required to face any necessary transition and
to carry it out diligently. There is a sense of continuous progress, a
notion of growth that could well be related to a business venture or the
development of an idea or project. There is much movement at hand. Now
is the time to allow the old to die in order to make room for the new. |
|
MANNAZ |
The starting point should
always be the self, and a proper relationship with yourself is
essential: on this depends that all other relationships may flow
properly, including your relationship with the Great Mystery. This is
not a moment to look for praise about your achievements, nor is it the
time to put all your attention in possible results. Do not judge and
don't be intolerant. Remember the past and think about the future, but
focus on the present. Try to live your ordinary life in an extraordinary
manner. |
|
LAGUZ |
The characteristics of this
Rune are water, intuition and the ebb and flow of emotions, relations
and vocations. Particularly, it announces the satisfaction of emotional
needs. In spite of the fact that everything flows appropriately at this
moment, it often signals the need to cleanse, revalue, reorganize,
recenter. It indicates that the intuitive aspect of your nature is
awake, and therefore Laguz advises you to harness it. |
|
INGWAZ |
This Rune represents the need to
share, to be wanted, the search for similarities and an impulse towards
harmony in personal relationships. It could well signal a new way, a new
relationship, even a new life. Ingwaz
symbolizes the end of a time of lethargy, a liberation from tension and
uncertainty. However, it is necessary to fertilize the ground for such
liberation. Keep your feet on the ground and stay away from any
undesirable influences. This is a good moment to complete any project
pending in your life. |
|
DAGAZ |
Dagaz denotes important
breakthroughs in relation to whatever concerns you. The moment is right
and therefore success is assured. This is the Rune of radical trust,
even if circumstances require you to jump to the void with apparently
empty hands.
It often introduces an important time of prosperity and great results.
However, you are reminded to pay attention and not allow yourself to be
carried away or to behave carelessly in your new situation. Humility and
generosity are advised. |
|
OTHALA |
This is the Rune of
beneficial gain. It indicates a moment in which tangible preparation
will yield tangible results. It is an excellent opportunity to learn, to
become better, to expand. New acquisitions will be favoured. It also
introduces a time of blessings in which actions taken will very probably
be successful and bring new and better opportunities for growth. This is
a moment that, if recognized, will reward you with all kinds of
important benefits for your development. |
