Fehu can mean emotional and spiritual riches, as well as money. In many ways, we have become as domesticated as the cattle, living our day to day existence without wanting or even being aware of anything more being possible. The first step in breaking away from this situation is to catch a glimpse of what is possible, without dwelling on what security we may lose to attain it. Reverse Meaning There may be quite a lot of frustration in your life at this time. This can be of trivial nature through to severe dispossessions. Doubtful situations come in many forms and are plentiful. You are being put in touch with the dark side of possessions. Use this as a measuring stick to gauge what is really important.

It can also imply a challenge leading to a major life change. Uruz in a casting may mean that personal success is near, so be ready to accept that power. It has also been known to be a rune of healing, so when you need that extra healing help, you can turn to Uruz. Reverse Meaning Be alert. Watch for opportunities in their disguises.

Thurisaz can produce a sudden change without warning. You have the power within you to face anything. Fear nothing, for you have the authority to claim your destiny. Let no one deter you from your search for the truth. Spiritual authority brings power and it is up to you to use that power in an unselfish and loving way.

The mouth. A message Associated Gods: Odin, Loki, Eostre Astrological Correspondence: Venus Magickal Uses For wise decisions, success, leadership; to help in divination and magic Ansuz is primarily Odin's rune and represents communication, creativity, controlled and divine power. Spiritually, it is the rune of prophecy and revelation. It also encompasses the ideas of wisdom, knowledge, reason, and therefore of instruction and good advice. It might also refer to a test, examination, or perhaps an interview. It can mean a letter, book, paper, message or other information. Because Loki was a renowned trickster, Ansuz may also portend a surprise, trick or subterfuge. Ansuz is a symbol of stability and represents order no matter what problems may come to be. The answers to questions are available but not yet recognized. Look for signs and confirmations which are all around. Everything has significance and appreciation of this will lead to understanding. Ensure you don't ignore the message because you don't like the content. All experience is a lesson that teaches by acknowledging the truth knowledge and wisdom will increase.

Raidho

Kenaz

Pronunciation: "Rye-Though" Translation: Riding, a vehicle Meaning A journey. Arrival, departure. Union or re-union. Concerning vehicles Associated Gods: Ing, Nerthus Astrological Correspondence: Sagittarius Magickal Uses protection for travelers, to ease or bring about change, to reconnect This rune represents the "vehicle" (or method) that we use in order for us to achieve an object or goal. Raidho allows us to channel our energies in an effective way so that these energies flow in a manner that will help us obtain our goal. However to use this rune to its full power we must know how to place ourselves in the "right place" at the "right time." Raido can mean wheel, ride, or travel, but it also has a deeper meaning. Riding a horse includes both movement and direction. A journey can be long and arduous, requiring planning, foresight, determination, and fortitude. Raido can therefore refer to the journey of life, or to a spiritual quest. Raido might also mean transport or communication, such as delivering or receiving a message, wise counsel, or the wheel of life. Recognize that everything comes in cycles and that by following them you will progress quickly and efficiently. Align your lifestyle to the seasons and honor the turning of the year. Embrace hard times knowing that the harder it is now, the easier it will get in the future. Everything has its opposite, and challenges bring equal and opposite rewards. Life and change continue and we must always go on. We will eventually end up where we began, but on a higher level and with a better perspective. The journey never really ends. Reverse Meaning Be particularly attentive to personal relationships. At this time reconciliations are not forthcoming. In fact any pressure at this time could see a fracturing of said relationship. The negatives in your life will actually be opportunities being redirected. Union and reunion being the final destinations. Pronunciation: "Kane-Awze" Phonetic Value: " c as in cat " Translation: A fire brand or torch Meaning Heat, light, enlightenment. Burning. An opening. An ulcer or injury, mental anguish Associated Gods Heimdall, Freyja, Frey Astrological Correspondence: Venus Magickal Uses For creative inspiration, aid in study, fertility, dispelling anxiety and fear Kenaz is the rune of knowledge, teaching and learning. It sheds light on the path and dispels the dark shadows of ignorance. Today, light, inspiration and knowledge are often associated, as in 'gaining enlightenment' and 'shedding light on the problem', even in the image of a lightbulb going on over someone's head when they get an idea. To bring light is to make the invisible visible. But there is a downside to Kauno in its sense of ulcer or wound. It can be a warning to beware sources of heat or light, or of physical danger. Take care against accidents, treat any illness or infirmity, and resolve your mental dilemmas. You are coming into a new understanding of life and its meaning. New insights await, but dont be complacent. Use this new understanding or it will be worthless. Look for ways to use your insights for the good of yourself and others. Enlightenment is replenishable. The more you use, the more knowledge you gain. Enlightenment itself is not the goal, it is just the starting point of a great adventure that will show you great wisdom and understanding if you proceed with truth and honesty. Reverse Meaning A relinquishing of the old,of existing from day to day empty - but not for long. As you let go of old habits, relationships etc., new opportunities will flow toward you to fill the emptiness. If you fail to recognise and relinquish the old, you will suffer fromloss of opportunity.

Partnership Associated Gods Odin, Gefn Astrological Correspondence Pisces Magickal Uses To find or strengthen a relationship, for fertility, to mark a gift or offering, to bring luck Gebo symbolizes the connection between the gods and people. It is the gift that brings connections between people through exchange. But it also represents the unity and honor that is created between those people when a gift exchange takes place. This rune represents those places where our path intersects with others, and allows us to begin to form conscious relationships. Such relationships are strengthened and sanctified by the exchange of gifts. Gebo - rune number 7 - is the origin of our "lucky seven" superstition. It represents a gift, whether it is a present, an attribute, a certain skill or ability. To the ancients, a gift always called for another in return. so accepting a gift places you under an obligation to the giver - the gods, destiny, another person. Gebo can also mean a partnership or union, in business or in love. Or it can mean forgiveness perhaps the greatest gift of all - to give or to receive. Gebo is commonly used as the sign of a kiss - the symbol of affection. A gift presents you with the choice of acceptance or rejection. If you accept you must be prepared to give in return. Everything has its price, but with spiritual gifts the cost is always worth it in the end. You must find the balance between giving and receiving and learn to give responsibly. This means deciding when to give and who to give to as it is not appropriate to give to everyone indiscrim-inately. Reverse Meaning Gebo has no reverse. It signifies the ultimate Gift - Freedom

Pronunciation "Woon-yoh" Phonetic Value " w ", " v " Translation Joy Meaning Happiness. Light. Emotional satisfaction Associated Gods Odin, Frigg Astrological Correspondence Mars Magickal Uses for success in any endeavor, to motivate, to complete a task Wunjo represents a state of harmony in a chaotic world and provides a balance between all things. It's a midpoint between opposites where alienation and anxiety disappear. This is also a rune of fellowship, shared aims and a general well being. When it appears in a reading it can also mean that good news will come from afar. Wunjo is linked to a reward, a feeling of goodness and satisfaction, peaceful winning, and ultimate achievement. It contains the idea of everything going well because you are in total harmony with life. Wunjo also implies close cooperation and companionship with other people, because joy is not usually a solitary emotion. When so much of life can be negative, it is important to allow Wunjos joy to reach into every part of your life. Happiness is yours if you are willing to work for it. You must strive for balance and harmony in your life. Always look for solutions rather than dwell on problems. For happiness to last, it must be founded on truth and honesty. Hide from the truth and you hide from true happiness. Seek only what is good and right, and good fortune cannot fail to follow Reverse Meaning There is blockage. Things are slow coming to fruition. A crisis or difficult time is at hand. Consideration and deliberation are called for at this time. Tread slowly and carefully, proceed with caution. It is time to re-evaluate your current position, to reflect and meditate.

Hagalaz

Nauthiz

Pronunciation "Haw-gaw-Laws" Phonetic Value: " h " Translation: Hail Meaning Weather, damaging natural forces. Disruption. Interference Associated Gods: Urd, Heimdall Astrological Correspondence Aquarius Magickal Uses Removing unwanted influences, breaking destructive patterns Hagalaz is one of three runes associated with winter. It is icy and constricting. However just like hail will go from ice to water, Hagalaz shows us that with time all things will transform from something bad to something good. It is a rune of the unconscious mind as well as the thought process. This rune rules the laws that shape events, past as well as present, in our lives. Appearing as it does at the beginning of the second aett, it marks both a beginning and an end. It represents that whenever things appear to be going too well, you can expect a good, healthy whack in the head from the Fates, just to make sure you're paying attention. These sorts of 'wake-up calls' from the Gods will happen frequently throughout a person's life, but are often misinterpreted as divine punishment for some imagined wrong when in fact they are merely a way of drawing your attention to a recurrent pattern in your life. Unfortunately, these types of events have a tendency to repeat themselves with greater and greater severity until the lesson is learned and the pattern is broken. Fire up your determination, and face these challenges head-on knowing they are just stepping stones on the way to your goal. The greater the challenge, the more you gain by overcoming it. Reverse Meaning Hagalaz has no reverse

Pronunciation "Now-These" Phonetic Value "n" Translation Need. Extremity Meaning Need, want, craving. Demand, deprivation. Compulsion. Desire Associated Gods Skuld Astrological Correspondence Capricorn Magickal Uses To represent a need to be filled The second rune, of three, that is associated with winter. Nauthiz represents a necessity that puts constraints on us so that our possibilities are restricted. However with this rune also comes the power and strength to break free from this need and its restrictions. Being a rune of change we must be careful not to go against out Word (fate) and use this rune constructively. It counsels patience. However unpleasant the hardship it is a learning experience that will ultimately benefit you. Naudiz can also warn against taking a risky path. In conjunction with other runes, Naudiz tends to have a delaying influence. You are getting exactly what you need right now to make the best progress on your spiritual path. It may appear to be the very opposite of what you want, but this state is not permanent, it is merely a series of lessons that must be learnt so that you can make the transition from negative to positive. Accept your past, keep your mind fixed on your goal, and learn from your present situation. The past is just a memory, the future just a dream, the present is where the action is, the only place you have influence. Reverse Meaning Nauthiz is part of the GREAT CYCLE and is the Great Teacher diguised as a bringer of pain and limitations. We tend to learn quicker when steeped in adversity. Modesty and good temper will see you through this time as you take control of anger and impulse.

Isa

Jera

Pronunciation "Ee-saw" Phonetic Value: " ee " Translation: Ice Meaning Ice, cold, freezing. Lack of change. Stagnation. Lack of emotion. Storing binding. Bridge across danger Associated Gods Verdandi Astrological Correspondence The Moon Magickal Uses To stop a process; to represent primal form This is the third rune that is associated with winter. It represents an icicle and symbolizes static existence, the present. Isa is a rune that halts all activity and puts a delay in the progress of something. We can do nothing but wait for the transformation of this icicle to turn to water, or the delay to turn into a new starting point. But it can take the heat out of a confrontation, or protect against magical attack. Emotionally, Isa implies a cooling of affection, or frigidity. Isa primarily represents a period of rest before activity, but do not let yourself get into a rut. Do not take anyone for granted. Be not afraid to show your feelings. Crossing water will be beneficial. Things appear to be at a standstill and this is not a time to try to force movement. Patience and wisdom are called for. This is not the time to abandon goals, but an opportunity to reaffirm them. This is a time for contemplation and preparation, not despondency or regrets. Things will change as surely as winter changes to spring and then summer Reverse Meaning There is no reverse meaning.

Pronunciation: "Yare-Awe" Phonetic Value "j" Translation: Year. Harvest Meaning Harvest. The agricultural year. Fertility, fruition Associated Gods: Frey, Freyja Astrological Correspondence The Sun Magickal Uses To bring change; for fertility and growth Jera represents the 12 months of the year. It implies fruitfulness, profit or achievement of a goal, Just rewards for past efforts. Inventiveness, talent or skill. Great reward to those who work with their hands or on the land. It also means the cycle of seasons implying movement, change, natural development. Jera follows Isa just as spring follows winter. The frozen stagnancy of ice is broken by the turning of the wheel, and things are once again moving along as they should. In fact, we have now broken out of the entire set 'negative' runes with which we began this aett. This has been accomplished not by fighting to escape the ice or railing against the unfairness of fate, but by learning from those experiences and simply waiting for the inevitable thaw. Jera is the communion wine - the product of the joining of opposites bringing life. Storms may come and go, but the sun is always there and life is generally pretty good. Enjoy it while you can. This is a time of reaping rewards from seeds sown in the past. It is a time of plenty, of joy and celebration. But it is also a time to work with no time for complacency. The harvest is followed by winter so you should make sure you have stored enough wisdom to face your next challenge. This is another turning point in life, not a goal. There are greater harvests ahead, but like the farmer, you must prepare the land, sow the seed, tend the seedlings and feed the fruit. Reverse Meaning Jera has no reverse.

Eihwaz

Perthro

Pronunciation "Eye - Wawz" Phonetic Value " eo ", " " Translation: Yew Tree Meaning Archer's bow, weapon. Magic. Deflection, prevention Associated Gods: Ullr Astrological Correspondence Scorpio Magickal Uses To bring about profound change, to ease a life transition Eihwaz possesses the power of both death and regeneration. A re-growth from the passing of the old situation into the form of the new situation. It is a rune that acts as a magickal protector and facilitator. All rites of passage, particularly those marking the transition into adulthood, contain the symbolism of death, the idea being that one's former 'self' has died and given birth to a new persona. Because of its position as the 13th rune it is sometimes considered as the death rune. The Yew tree has mistakenly been linked with death because of the ancient practice of planting yew hedges around graveyards. Eihwaz is the thirteenth rune in the fuark, and marks the middle of the alphabet. (It is interesting to note that the Death card in the Tarot is also the thirteenth card.) But the real reason the Yew was planted was to keep out unwanted scavenging animals - the evergreen Yew is both poisonous and impenetrable year-round. These Yews - now grown to huge gnarled old trees - are still to be found in many early British churchyards. Reverse Meaning Ihwaz has no reverse

Pronunciation: "Perth-Row" Phonetic Value: " p as in pot " Translation It is usually taken to be the name of a dice cup. Or sometimes the Vulva Meaning Mystery, Chance. A Gamble. Pot Luck Associated Gods: Frigg Astrological Correspondence Saturn Magickal Uses fertility, easing childbirth, to aid in divination and magic, enhancing psychic abilities Perthro is a rune of memory and recollection, problem solving, and esoteric knowledge. It represents the uncertainties of life and symbolizes the interaction between personal freewill and the constants of our circumstances. Make the best of your lot. Spiritually, Perthro suggests the disclosure of a secret. It could also refer to pregnancy and birth. Perth is linked with the sensible and moderate enjoyment of sexuality. Because of the mystery surrounding it, common sense and prudence are called for in the interpretation of Pertho. The rune is closely tied in with the idea of fate, that the road we travel, regardless of what we choose to do along the way, is pre determined from the moment of our birth. The very act of being born sets us along a course of cause and effect, action and reaction that we may choose to follow blindly, or try to divine through the runes or other means order that we may better understand the lessons we will learn. Pertho is the beginning of this process, as well as the tool for accomplishing it. Reverse Do not expect too much. It wants you to call on all your scattered energies and concentrate on your own life at this time. Perth also warns against dwelling in the Past or Furure too much. BY doing so you are robbing yourself of the present. Remember to persevere. IN doing so you strenghten your character and the inner-self.

It symbolizes resistant power and is the most powerful defense rune. It also acts as a rune of personal protection and safeguards properties like your home or your car. Spiritually, it symbolizes reaching up to the divine. Algiz also represents success through endeavour in a search, quest, or other enterprise. Like the fast-growing pine tree, schemes will develop quickly. Like sharp sedge, you are protected from attack. Alertness and awareness will be your guide. Wisdom, vision and clarity of mind will aid your cause. Although the path ahead is fraught with danger, you need have no fear, for you have the power of protection within you. You will be safe as long as you are not reckless. Algiz indicates a favourable time for risky ventures, although all things must be built on firm foundations. Do not become complacent.

It represents the illumination that the sun can sometimes provide. Sowilo resists death and disintegration and allows light to conquer dark. With the illumination of the power of the sun we also tend to see our goals more clearly. Although Sowilo is well known as a victory symbol, it can also be used as a force of attack. It is a positive force, because it is the natural power of the sun. Spiritually, Sowilo symbolizes clear vision, and the victories of light over darkness, good over evil. It admonishes one to use the powers of good to vanquish evil. Reverse Meaning Sowilo has no reverse.

It is a rune of positive regulation that involves personal sacrifice to ensure a positive result. Also, like Sowulo, promises success in our achievements, but does require that personal sacrifice. This rune works well in legal matters but only if you are right to begin with. Tiwaz also represents determination and male sexuality. It symbolizes new challenges and initiations into new understandings. There is a need for courage now, as your victory is already assured if your heart remains true. Make use of all the skill and wisdom you have acquired so far. Protect your faith, as it will be challenged. But truth, honesty and justice will always be. Tyr's rune is one of the oldest in the fuark, having survived virtually unchanged from the earliest Bronze-age carvings. It represents all those qualities associated with the God: strength, heroism, duty and responsibility. Reverse Meaning There is an indication of losing energy through ill-timed or hasty action. Examine your motibes, are you concerned with self-conquest or the domination of another?

Pronunciation "Bear-kawn-oh" Phonetic Value "b" Translation Birch Twig Meaning Growth. Fertility. Re-birth. New life. A new broom. Physical beauty or stature Associated Gods Nerthus, Holda Astrological Correspondence Virgo Magickal Uses Healing (especially infections), achieving conception, making a fresh start Berkana symbolizes springtime and new beginnings. It is a birth rune and is especially powerful in women's matters. It marks the time when the laws of existence are set and life is ready to begin in earnest. If Teiwaz is the fundamental male mystery, then Berkana certainly belongs to the women, for it represents the path of the mother, the healer and the midwife, bringing new life after death just as the birch puts out the first leaves after winter. It is the rune of the family and the home, and represents the enjoyment of sexual relations, fertility, and birth. Birth in this context can be literal or symbolic, such as the successful start of any new idea or enterprise. An exciting time for new beginnings, fresh adventures. Activity and energy. Sow seeds, but the harvest is yet to come so dont expect immediate reward for your effort. Put the past in its place, learn from experience. A good time for spiritual renewal - clear away misconceptions and accept new ideas. Reverse Meaning When drawn in reverse, Berkana advises that aspects of character are more likely to interfere with growth, rather than events.

It demands serious intentions to make sure the matter at hand will be successful. Also, Ehwaz enables us to make sure that our tasks flow from a beginning to an end It is controlled change, progress, and sometimes a journey. It also represents partnership, trust, loyalty, and faithfulness, such as that between horse and rider, brother and sister, two halves of the whole. You have the support you need to make swift progress towards your goal. But you must be loyal and supportive to those around you, as they are to you. The horse is proud, but that does not impede its purpose. So while you can be proud of your achievements, you must remain humble to ensure your journey reaches a successful conclusion. Reverse Meaning Movement that seems to block. Make sure that your actions and attitudes are timely. Perhaps you are doing - or not doing - something that is not right for you at this time.

Symbolically it stands for social order allowing us to reach our fullest potential. Because of its stable shape, Mannaz reminds us that we are stable as well.

But to be a spiritual being, you must balance body, mind and spirit. Embrace everything, good and bad alike, with total acceptance, knowing that each new experience will teach more of life. By learning each lesson you will go onwards and upwards.

It holds the powers of the tides and the force of waterfalls. We must "go with the flow" when we encounter this rune, or else be washed away by its power. Laguz demonstrates the law of opposites; although we cannot live without water for long, we cannot live in water long either. It also represents the abundance of life found in physical matter and objects. Laguz represents the sensual madness of sexuality, the unconscious, intuitive, and psychic abilities. Its deceptive elements come from its variety, rather than from any menace. Traditionally, Laguz is the ultimate female rune. Only by attunement to creation will your life truly flow as it is meant to. Emotional balance comes from harmony with creation around you. For example, natural foods lead to natural flow, whereas unnatural foods lead to disharmony and stagnation. The sea is always fluid and moving, so it should be with your life. Embrace change itself, for it is the only true constant in life. Reverse Meaning Laguz reversed warns that you are neglecting your inituitive side. Listen to your inner voice, it meeds recognition too. By ignoring this part of your nature, you become unbalanced.

It resists arbitrary rules, preserving individual and collective liberty within the framework of natural law. It is important to note that Othala is more than just physical property. It is also our cultural and spiritual heritage that is passed down to us by our ancestors. At this time of re-focusing, fix your goal firmly in your mind and let your thoughts attract the energy you need to reach it. You must concentrate to read all the signs, but don't try to force the issues. Your objective is like a wild bird in the palm of your hand. If you grip too tightly, you risk killing it.
