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)

Well... You drew isa: standstill, withdrawal, ice.

It has this to say: positive accomplishment is unlikely now. There is a freeze on useful activity; all your plans are on hold. You may be experiencing an unaccustomed drain on your energy and wonder why: a chill wind is reaching you from the ice floes of outmoded habits. Submit and be still, for what you are experiencing is not necessarily from your actions or habits, but arises from conditions about which you can do nothing.

Just as winter is a time for going within, drawing isa can announce a time of restoration and renewal at the deepest level. In your solitude, exercise caution and so not stubbornly persist in attempting to work your will. Remain mindfull that the seed of the new is present in the shell of the old.

So, would that be a no?
