As rune for an awkward character
Published: Wed, 06/12/13
Sometimes people can be difficult. You can do a one rune reading,
by that I mean someone can pick out just one reading as a 'rune
of the day'. When on a stand at an event it is quite a fun
thing to do to get people's attention. I recall one occasion
when two women came to our stand at some event we were at, I
can't remember where or exactly when. But one of the women
took a 'rune of the day' and asked me to interpret. Or I
should say challenged since she was out to prove that it isn't
possible to tell anything about a stranger by just picking a rune.
She picked out As and the first thing I said was that she must be
about to travel and it would probably be a good trip. She denied
that was the case and asked what else it could mean. I suggested
wisdom and maybe she had some problem in her life that was going
to need some wise guidance. Again she denied it and asked me what
else. I said that perhaps there was some creative project that she
needed inspiration for. The kind of inspiration that came from the
mead of poetry which Odin stole from the Giant Suttung. Again she
shook her head. At this point I knew that there was something
funny going on so I just said that travel seemed to fit best. The
woman tried to keep a straight face but her friend nudged her and
said, go on tell him, you are flying out to Spain on holiday
tomorrow.
At least she was going by plane and not on an eight legged horse.
One of the things we will do at Stav camp in September is rune
making and using. The camp isn't quite full yet but there are
only a very few places left. If you have any questions about
getting there or anything else then let me know and I will be happy
to put your mind at rest. But don't think too long before
booking or it might be too late for this year.
