runes – Serendipities

This is the quick version of what I have come to think of as my personal associations and understandings of each rune, based on the rune poems and other secondary sources. I’m writing it up here and now for two reasons: 1) hopefully it will be of use to some of you, and 2) the Old Man seems to want me to and I’m currently inclined to humor him.

Each of these key concepts is a category, a container of meanings. For example, one of Uruz’s key concepts is “physicality”, which contains within it all of the following, and more: strength, speed, high energy, good health, action, nourishment, endurance, vitality. So if you would use these for yourself, first use each concept as a free-writing prompt, and see what associations you have. Build your personal meanings from those.

ᚠ Fehu: Wealth as a physical object. Wealth as a process of prosperity.

ᚢ Uruz: Physicality. Potency. Manifestation.

ᚦ Thurisaz: Natural forces. Conflict. Masculine energy.

ᚨ Ansuz: Trancework. Wisdom. Universal order.

ᚱ Raidho: Travel. Communication.

ᚲ Kenaz: Spark. Hearthfire.

ᚷ Gebo: Hospitality. Reciprocity.

ᚹ Wunjo: Happiness. Good fortune.

ᚺ Hagalaz: Catastrophe. Melting ice.

ᚾ Naudhiz: Willpower. Fate. Friction.

ᛁ Isa: Frozen. Glacial.

ᛃ Jera: Harvest. Continuing cycles.

ᛇ Eiwaz: Evergreen. Axis Mundi.

ᛈ Perthro: Mystery. Cauldron.

ᛉ Elhaz: Shield. Blade.

ᛋ Sowilo: Sunlight. Victory.

ᛏ Tiwaz: Justice. Virtue.

ᛚ Laguz: Water. Depths.

ᛜ Ingwaz: Sacred King. Seed energy.

ᛞ Dagaz: Dawning. Illumination.

ᛟ Othala: Home. Kin.

Well, the shop tumblog is now up and running! So if you’re on tumblr, please be a dear and give us a follow! Right now it’s mostly posting Etsy shop listings and updates, but no more than 3 posts a day, we don’t want to spam anyone. In the future that will probably be the fastest place to learn about anything new going on in the shop besides Etsy itself!

Speaking of Etsy, our seasonal coupon went live this past weekend! Use coupon code YULETIDE2016 for 10% off anything and everything in the shop! Code is valid through the 2nd of January.

Also coming up soon (hopefully by Yule): rune readings are FINALLY going to be in the shop, at approx $2/rune. These are going to be pulls, not casts, but I’ve gotten some good feedback on my free rune readings on tumblr, so I think I’m now confident enough to offer them for sale. I use the Elder Futhark, on slices of wood, and I’ll be included pictures in those readings, just like with the cards.

On the reiki side of things, we’re finally more or less open for business (though we may get a zero gravity chair to replace the one we’ve been using, for additional comfort) and I’ve updated the Facebook Page with the street name – when you book an appointment I’ll be more than happy to give you the entire address and parking directions, but we’re working out of our home and I don’t really want our home address plastered all over the interwebs. I’ve also added “Services” to the FB page, with approximate prices so you have an idea, though divination and jewelry are still primarily sold through the Etsy Shop.

In the realm of upcoming things, Glasreo and I will be attending a Soul Retrieval workshop in January which is very exciting and should meld well with our reiki practice, so stay tuned to hear about that (and maybe book a reiki session for the spring to get some of your lost soul pieces back, *winkwink*) and hopefully I’ll be blogging weekly again from here on, now that we’re all moved into our new place!
