Consonants and Vowels...

As I go on my journey that is my life, I am inclined to write about experiences or feelings, share pics, recipes, ideas, oh just whatever may pop into my cluttered brain. Feel free to read and or share if you so desire...

Runes of the day...





The Cross spread is used to plot the arc of your life and the forces acting on it. It is the most popular spread, giving a very complete view of the situation. Stone Runes are most commonly used for questions about the natural world and things beyond human control.
The left rune represents an important element of the past. Man refers to Mankind and your interaction with the whole of human population. This rune is reversed, suggesting a separation from your fellow man. There is a lack of harmony in your interaction with others, either because you do not accept society or society does not accept you. Alternatively, this rune may also represent your separation from nature, and your ability to rise above the base level of being. As the rune is reversed, this may suggest an incomplete level of spiritual attainment or an intellectual block.
The middle rune represents a deciding element of the present. Ansuz is the spoken word of God. This rune is reversed, indicating that you are misunderstanding the divine voice or failing to hear it all. The word is always correct, so you must strive, whatever the difficulty, to hear correctly. Be wary of the advice you are given, for it may prove incorrect. Do not attribute infallibility to fallible sources...
The top rune represents a force that works for you. Wunjo is the rune of joy. The reversal of this rune suggests that joy is withheld. Since joy is frequently communal, this rune often suggests loneliness. Alternatively, some have seen Wunjo as the rune of perfection and the rune of the gods. Therefore this rune reversed could signal a feeling of separation from one's deity, or as imperfection in an important work.
The bottom Rune represents a force that works against you. Ger is one of the runes that touches on the cycles of the year, in this case the fall harvest. These cycles are eternal, which is represented in the rune by the fact that it is unchanged by reversal. Ger can represent pregnancy or other forms of fruitfulness, and is especially indicative of the cycles of providence and karma - that which has been sown is now being reaped. This rune can also represent the cycles of wealth, for crops were frequently a sign of wealth.
The right rune represents the critical element of the future, at the core of the final outcome. Nyd is frequently seen as a powerfully negative rune. You have drawn the rune reversed, which will lessen some of its effects. Generally Nyd represents loss, sorrow, and a hard journey with lessons learned. Nyd reversed here might be cautioning that the lessons might go unheeded representing repeated mistakes. The rune here might also be representing a minor loss or a nearly avoided catastrophe. Be careful, things are tricky and require strong attentiveness.

Yea... Story sounds familiar, huh? Seems to repeat itself!

Past- Mannaz Reversed. Don't usually do reversed meanings, but it is so "on" that I'll go with it. Separation from harmony, talking about a block. I have separated myself from alot of things that I enjoy and from my own inner "harmony" in the past.

Present- Ansuz reversed- Failing to hear the divine... and failure to listen to myself- I have become deaf to my Gods and to my self.

Element working for me- Wunjo reversed... I don't see how this is working FOR me... But, I am lonely. Wunjo is joy, reversed is sad and I am so sad. I think this means my sadness is working for me... Maybe driving me in a sense at this point?

Against me- LOL... Jera- Cycles... Yea, Repetitive cycles, I get it.

Future- Nyd- Nauthiz- Comes up ALOT. Reversed.. Well, Maybe I am not sure what I need. Perhaps what I "need" isn't what is best for me either.

I have thought about that nauthiz rune. And what it may have stood for. Sometimes, what people NEED and what drives them isn't necessarily GOOD for them... Just my thoughts. ;)
