Day 158 - runes

Ahem.

I impulse bought them from the British Museum shop, along with King Harald's Saga by Snori Sturluson. It's gripping and fast paced and so far I have got to part 34, where Harald and King Svein of Denmark are about to fight it out over who deserves Denmark more. In this part, I like that there is a court poet known as Thorleik the Handsome. He must've been very very handsome to be known for it.

I also bought Chronicles of the Vikings by RI Page, which I mostly picked because it has a chapter entitled 'the unheroic life' that comes straight after a chapter called 'the heroic life'.

Anyway! I have been practising with the runes (put hand in bag, extract rune, consult little book, feel baffled). Apparently, long distance rune-reading is quite acceptable. Please do feel free to ask them anything you like!! (Answers may not make sense, may contain nuts)

What do the runes say about Mr Kispexi2's new job?

Well done Mr Kispexi2!

You have drawn berkana: growth, rebirth (yew tree).

Berkana represents a form of fertility that fosters growth both symbolically and actually. The growth may occur in any form.

A rune that leads to blossoming and ripening, berkana is concerned with the flow of beings into their new forms. Its action is gentle, penetrating and pervasive. Consider your issue with care and awareness. First disperse resistance, then accomplish work. You must be clear and controlled, your motives correct. Dark corners must be cleansed; this must be carried out diligently and sometimes with expert help. Modesty, patience, fairness and generosity are called for here.

Ooh! Not that I believe any of this tosh, you understand, but sorchasilver did me a tarot reading on the same subject and it had a similarly positive result (although I half-interpreted the "Outcome: Sun" as many, many happy hours in the virtual company of Sanzo). Anyway, the job is not, as yet, secured. I'll let you know if Yew are correct.

Ha, sun!

I can't say I'd put my life in its hands, but I kind of like this rune stuff, at least when it's positive. Do let me know about Mr Kispexi2's job!!
