    Runes In Norse lore, the god, Odin, impaled his heart with his own spear and hung on the world tree, Yggdrasil, for nine days and nights all to perceive the meaning of the runes.

    rune 1

    (ro͞on)n.1.
    a. Any of the characters in several alphabets used by ancient Germanic peoples from the 3rd to the 13th century.
    b. A similar character in another alphabet, sometimes believed to have magic powers.
    2. A poem or incantation of mysterious significance, especially a magic charm.
    Word History: Among early peoples writing was a serious thing, full of magical power. In its only reference to writing, the Iliad calls it 'baneful signs.' The Germanic peoples used a runic alphabet as their form of writing, using it to identify combs or helmets, make calendars, encode secret messages, and mark funeral monuments. Runes were also employed in casting spells, as to gain a kiss from a sweetheart or to make an enemy's gut burst. In casting a spell the writing of the runes was accompanied by a mumbled or chanted prayer or curse, also called a rune, to make the magic work. These two meanings also appear in Old English rūn, the ancestor of our word. The direct descendants of Old English rūn are the archaic verb round, 'whisper, talk in secret,' and the obsolete noun roun, 'whispering, secret talk.' The use of the word to refer to inscribed runic characters was revived by Danish writers who adopted it from Old Norse toward the end of the 1600s and used it in discussions of Germanic antiquities.

    The original meaning of the word rune is 'secret, or something hidden'. Some indications show that the early runes were not used so much for writing, but rather as magical signs, that means, they were used in magic and for divination (but there is no direct evidence of this). They were probably transformed from the Tarot and the Chinese Book of Changes and were used as the I Ching of the Vikings at that time. With the rune-masters, their wisdom died as well. Nothing was left except the sagas, the scattered fragments of runic history and the rune itselfThe influence of the runes on their time was undeniable.

    Elliott writes that the tribal leaders and advisers of Anglo-Saxon England called their consultations, which they held in secret meetings, 'Runes'. As Bishop Wulfila translated the Bible into fourth century Gothic, he used in Markus 4, 11 ('you are given the knowledge about the secret of the kingdom of God') for the word runa 'secret'.From the beginning, the runes also had a ritual function, for divination and invocation of higher powers that could affect the lives and happiness of the tribe. The are of the rune masters touched every aspect of life, the most holy to the everyday, practical.

    There were runes and spells to influence the weather, the tides, the seed, love and health. Runes for fertility, and a curse for the abolition of a curse, for birth and death. Runes were carved on amulets, drinking cups and javelins, and carved on the lintel of the houses and at the bow of the Viking ships.

    The rune masters and vikings wore striking clothes, which you could recognize easily. Adored, welcomed and feared at the same time, those shamans were familiar figures in tribal circles. There is evidence that a sizable number of runes experts were women.The detailed operation of a similar tradition is much older and is from the Roman historian Tacitus. In the year 98 AD, he reported on the customs of the Germanic tribes.Although in later Anglo-Saxon period alphabets included up to thirty-three sign, the traditional Germanic Futhark script consisted of twenty-four runes. These were divided into three 'families' of eight runes, it was said that the numbers three and eight, had special magical powers.

    The three groups (aettir) were named after the Nordic gods Frey, Hagal and Tyr.ODINOdin is the chief god in the pantheon of Norse gods. His name is derived from the term for 'wind' and 'spirit'.

    Through his suffering, his self-sacrifice, Odin brought the runes to us. According to the legend, he hung for nine nights on the Yggdrasil tree, the world ash tree, wounded by his own sword and tormented by hunger, thirst and pain. He was alone and without any help, until he was near to death, then he he saw the runes and, with a last, mighty effort reached for them and got them.

    Remain modest - that is the right of the oracle. Be in the world, but not from the world. Stay receptive to impulses, that come out of the divine in the inner and outer sphere. Seek to live the usual life in an unusual manner.If you take the 'itself' rune and cut through it in the middle, you are going to receive the rune of joy and its reflection. So there is a fine warning not to be careless. The acrobatically dancing energy of the balance is asked here to bring its higher itself.

    Nothing in the excess - that was the second request that was to be read at the entrance to the delphish temple. The first advice read: Recognize you yourself! This is the time of your ways separating. Old skin must shed, outdated relationships need to be given up. If this rune appears, a 'molting' is necessary.

    Othila is a rune of the radical separation. Obedience and probably also withdrawal is necessary - to know, when and how you need to withdraw, and to actually have the determination, to do it. Property is also an aspect of this rune, because Othila is the rune of the acquisition and profit. The profit however, that 'heir', which you receive, could likely be made of something that you need to abandon. This process can be especially hard if that what needs to be abandoned is something of your cultural heir and backing.

    Not 'rigidly' but rather like a 'river' is the correct attitude to have. And yet - you have to wait that the universe begins to act. Deep, inner trans formative powers are interacting, but what you are going to get out of them isn't easy to recognize. An integrity – concealed, disguised, secretly hidden.

    After all, what is going to heal us and our soul is a deep mystery. On the side of the material world there probably will be surprises; unexpected profits are nothing to be excluded. Nothing less than a renewal your spirit is the risk you take. The old way found its end: You simply cannot repeat the old things any longer without suffering.

    However, you always have a chance: Either you see all negative as a 'misfortune', or you recognize the entire as a hindrance stretch, an inaugural way that you have to follow at this moment. Our lesson is the necessity of bearing strong enforcement. Your positive aspects can be controlled by the people who surround you. To pull this rune means to get a hint that there is going to be stagnation - an occasion to re-consider your plans carefully. It is the time to pay off old guilt and even if it's easy it is time to restore balance. Therefore improve, reconstruct, organize: if the fishermen cannot pull out, they repair their fishing nets. You must deal with and face your own demons.

    So keep your anger as well as your impulses under control. Modesty and a good mood are essential in such times. This is about the control of emotions. During transition periods, changing the course of life and accelerated self-change, it is important not to rush into emotions, either positive or negative. Remember that early action and right conduct are the only real protection. No matter whether your business flourishes or fades, don't worry. Maybe you don't win, but you will never lose, because you will always learn from what has happened.

    Moderation and civility are the strengths of the protective forces of this rune. This is the rune of the spiritual warrior.

    His fight is always the limiting ego. His will is strengthened by the act, but the warrior outcome, and he always knows that he cannot do anything but hinder himself because the will of heaven will prevail – these are his marks. This rune also contains the energy of the distinction. Patience is the virtue of this rune. You are asked to look inwardly, to dive down to the foundation of your life.

    If you dedicate your question to a certain case, an idea, a certain way, the Warrior Rune recommends perseverance, even if sometimes endurance is required in the form of patience. What are your priorities?

    How do you use your energy? The Rune Teiwaz stands for courage and devotion. Ehwaz is a rune of passage, of transition and movement: location changes, relocation, new attitudes or new life. This rune also represents movement, such as improving a situation. This rune is combined with gradual development and continuous progress, even slow growth of some changes and transformations. Conversely, movement that seems to block.

    Make sure that what you do or do not do happens at the right time. There are no missed opportunities, we only need to recognize that not all opportunities are intended for us. Change, freedom, invention and caution are attributes of this Rune. To pull it indicates the existence of an urgent need in your psyche to free itself from the confines of identification with material reality, and to experience the world of archetypal thinking. The Rune of elementary destruction and of things that are completely outside your control. Hagalaz is only upright, not vice versa, and yet it always works through the reverse.

    If you pull this rune, you can expect resolution, because it is the big 'awakening. The more serious the damage is in your life, the more important and contemporary are the requirements for your further growth. The winter of the spiritual life has come upon you. You may find yourself trapped in a situation whose importance you cannot recognize effectively. You are powerless to do anything other than to bend, or even pass on a long-held desire.

    Try to find out what it is, what you hold, the effect of this situation and let it go. Enter by and be silent, because what you see is not necessarily a consequence of your actions and habits, but the circumstances of the time, against which you cannot do anything. To yield shows courage and wisdom.

Regardless of their less than desirable relatives, adult crane flies don’t bite or spread diseases, although crane flies in lawn grass can be problematic. Black soldier fly larvae images.
