Aethel

Aethel is the dipthong oe

Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem (from ragweedforge.com)

An estate is very dear to every man,
if he can enjoy there in his housewhatever is right and proper in constant prosperity

Aethel is the rune for this week, showing that family, home and land is the focus and concern. As it is also a rune of Wealth, you might find that you have opportunities for long term investments or real estate that maybe coming to fruition or coming towards. As it is a good time to focus on the family, living and deceased, and to enjoy the harmony that can be present there. All of your family, not just the blood relatives.

April 3, 2010 – Laguz reversed

Laguz Reversed

Laguz is the letter L

Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem (from ragweedforge.com)

The ocean seems interminable to men,
if they venture on the rolling barkand the waves of the sea terrify themand the courser of the deep heed not its bridle.

Today is Laguz reversed. When laguz appears reversed, it can have two possible meanings. It either shows things to be stagnant and unmoving, or that the flow of things has changed direction. It is no longer a flow going out from you, but flowing moving towards and in to you. Today feels like an inward flow. Energies, physical/mental/ spiritual are returning to you, most likely because you need them more then they are needed elsewhere. Perhaps there is blockage within and so the energies are working to overwhelm and break though. It might be for healing, it might be personal progress, but the flow is definitely moving in reverse. This might seem like a bad thing, but I suppose only if you are used to be an outgoing type of person.

April 2, 2010- Qweorth

Qweorth

Qweorth is the letter Q

There is no rune poem for Qweorth. It is one of the Northumbrian Runes.

The fire-twirl. The sacred fire. The fire of creation and destruction. The transforming fire. The funeral pyre. This is qweorth. This is the fire that changes everything. It brings heat and light and yet it can also bring destruction. Sometimes it can do both in a single stroke.

It is the opposite of Isa in every way. It is action and dynamic and going somewhere in contrast to Isa which is still, inert, and unmoving. Qweorth can melt and release what Isa has frozen and captured.

Sometimes though, you don’t want to release things, or at least, not quickly. But that is the way qweorth. If you aren’t ready to immediately deal with what is before you, don’t set it alight with qweorth. What maybe released from the destruction may not be what you thought you were getting.

April 1, 2010 – Inguz

Inguz

Inguz is the suffix –ing

Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem (from ragweedforge.com)

Ing was first seen by men among the East-Danes,
till, followed by his chariot,he departed eastwards over the waves.So the Heardingas named the hero.

Inguz is the rune of gestation and catalysts. It is the seed held within the earth, waiting for the right conditions to burst forth in growth and being. Inguz (or Ing) is one of the names of Frey, the Vanic God of Fertility and Virility, the twin brother to Freya, the Goddess of Love and Fertility. His name actually translates as “Lord” (while her name means “Lady”).
The role of this week for Inguz I felt was to be one of gestation, holding the forces until the reach the right time to burst forth. So it holds for today. The forces are holding there, not in active, but not being expressed forth, locked in a slowly shifting dance until the right balance is achieved. Balance between what? Between inner power and outer expression. The inner power that is still, silent and constant, but it works best when it is expressed forth at the right time. For now, the two are strongly connected, but the outer expression needs to be encouraged, until the right time to rush forth in a illuminating blaze comes.
