Question: What are my challenges at camp?

Rune: I pulled Gebo. Gifts and exchange.

Meaning: Another repeating rune. I prefer to handle things on my own a lot of the time. I hate asking for help, although I've gotten a lot better it as I've gotten older ( Read more... )

Question: What does Thiazi have to teach me?

Rune: Othala! Heritage, inheritance, property, spiritual or physical home or ancestral land.

Meaning: For both Idunna and Thiazi, I pulled Othala and Hagalaz. Over all, it's been fascinating to see how the runes repeat through the reading. I even tried a different rune set and mixed my up a bit more ( Read more... )

Question: What does Idunna have to teach me?

Rune: Hagalaz makes another appearance. Hail, destruction or distruption with the seed of rebirth carried within it (the ice melting to the water that sustain crops in the future).

Meaning: I pulled it for Thiazi as well. This is a challenging rune for me to read. My previous readings for Idunna ( Read more... )

I've been keeping up with my draws, but not the posting piece.

Here are the last 3 I drew:

Question: What past influences are affecting camp?

Rune: Eihwaz or yew tree, the world tree. Strength, strong foundation, support.

Meaning: I see this as reinforcing Othalo. I'm taking to mean that this camp is strongly supported by and rooted in ( Read more... )

Question: What are my challenges at camp?

Rune: Isa or ice: stasis, stagnation, holding patterns, lack of flow.

Meaning: The other rune I pulled for challenges is Dagaz. I have the visual of sunlight glinting off of ice crystals. I'm pretty clear on what this is describing. For the preparation of camp, we've been asked to so some exercises ( Read more... )

Question: What currents underlie camp?

Rune: I drew Ansuz AGAIN for today (and I was using my partner's set of runes). Not only did I draw this for yesterday, I drew Ansuz for this position last time. Again, it means god or mouth: the voice of god, divine inspiration, the holy spirit (Norse style).

Meaning: I guess this is what I get for doing ( Read more... )

Question: What does Thiazi have to teach me?

Rune: I drew Ansuz again for today. God or mouth: the voice of god, divine inspiration, the holy spirit (Norse style).

Meaning: If I recall correctly, a lot of the Asatru (sp?) do not venerate the giants and look to them sort of like evil spirits of some kind. It's interesting that Ansuz came up here ( Read more... )

Question: What does Idunna have to teach?

Rune: I drew Othala for today. Heritage, inheritance, property, spiritual or physical home or ancestral land.

Meaning: While I generally lump modern paganisms in as new religions movements, it's clear that we do look back at the old paganims. Some do strictly (I'm thinking of the reconstructionists ( Read more... )

Here is the overall runecast I'm making out of the daily draws so far. I can't seem to get the formating to come quite right and I'm not adding any new commentary, so I'm putting it under a cut.

Question: What will be the outcome of camp?

Rune: I drew Thuriaz. Thorn: Related to Thor, strength, power, dominance, including regeneration. Best-defense-is-a-good-offense kind of protection ( Read more... )
