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)

You have drawn ehwaz: movement, progress, the horse. However ehwaz is reversed (upside down).

This is not really a negative rune. A change is perhaps craved. Feeling restless or confined in a situation. Reckless haste, disharmony, mistrust, betrayal.

It signifies movement that appears to block. Be certain that what you are doing, or not doing, is timely. There are no missed opportunities. You simply have to recognise that not all opportunities are open to you, that not all possibilities are for you. The opportunity at hand may be precicsely to avoid action. If you are at a loss, unclear about the need to act, consider what is timely to your nature and remember: what is yours will come to you.

Teh runes have spoken.
