Gar
There is no letter equivalent for Gar
There is no rune poem for Gar. It is a Northumbrian rune.
Gar to me is the door this week, the open, or opening portal. Whether to step through and see what is on the other side, or to wait, and allow entrance on the other side is the question. Action or rest, coming or going, arrival and departure, these are the juxtapositions surrounding this cosmic door that lies at the center, the fulcrum and axis for everything around it.
Ear reversed
Ear is the dipthong “ea”
Anglo-Saxon rune poem (from ragweedforge.com)
The grave is horrible to every knight,
when the corpse quickly begins to cooland is laid in the bosom of the dark earth.Prosperity declines, happiness passes awayand covenants are broken
Ear reversed today feels like an indication of crisis averted. It also seems to point to that some of the more unpleasant things I have been dealing with are not quite finished yet, the last parts lingering on, while I figure out how to bring about a resolution.
Gebo
Gebo is the letter G
Anglo-Saxon rune poem (from ragweedforge.com)
Generosity brings credit and honour, which support one’s dignity;
it furnishes help and subsistenceto all broken men who are devoid of aught else
Gebo signifies the bonds, relationships and contracts that exist between us all. It is generally indicative that the relationships you foster are going to be important. These can be intimate relationships, business relationships, or casual relationships. Being generous or receiving the generosity of others brings with it obligation, unless stated otherwise. It is also that exchange upon which society and human connection thrives. While some avoid getting too tied up in obligations (and some obligations, especially money are probably worth avoiding in many cases), complete avoidance is harmful to you, as much as it is to other people. You should enter into commitments, but as you do so, remember to read the fine print, and make sure the terms are clear. You are as much to blame for errors because of the lack of knowledge.
Ac
Ac is the long vowel sound “ah”
Anglo-Saxon rune poem (from ragweedforge.com)
The oak fattens the flesh of pigs for the children of men.
Often it traverses the gannet’s bath,and the ocean proves whether the oak keeps faithin honourable fashion.
Ac is the rune of faithfulness, fidelity, endurance, constancy, and experience. Because of these, it is also a rune of healing and health, giving strength and aid to see to the return of health. It has recently come to my understanding the Ac figures well in love spells, especially when the fidelity of partners is desired or in question. No matter what your arrangement may be, it helps to keep people staying together and abiding by their promises. It feels to me that this rune comes about after a period of great instability and uncertainty, and helps to restore a sense of the calm and stability with it.
Cweorth
Cweorth is the letter Q
There is no rune poem for cweorth. It is a Northumbrian rune.
Cweorth, the holy fire, by which offerings are made, people, animals and objects are purified, and the dead are released and reborn again. Todays influence of cweorth was incredibly benign. It isn’t always burning, consuming purification and destruction. Sometimes it can just be the warmth, light and heat, filling the space the encompasses it, and radiating it’s holy power throughout.
Nauthiz
Nauthiz is the letter N
Anglo-Saxon rune poem (from ragweedforge.com)
Trouble is oppressive to the heart;
yet often it proves a source of help and salvationto the children of men, to everyone who heeds it betimes
Nauthiz is a rune of Fate, which is often described as troubling and cruel, usually because only the unpleasant things are attributed to it. Another meaning to Nauthiz is Necessity, that which needed. In the twisting, twining and weaving of fate, both benevolent and malevolent things are present. Yet in responding to each one, in it’s own way, it can bring help and salvation. Today is more about help and salvation. The trials faced have been somewhat prepared for, and while some pain will be present, the resolution will come quickly.
Yr
Yr is the letter Y
Anglo-Saxon rune poem (from ragweedforge.com)
Yr is a source of joy and honour to every prince and knight;
it looks well on a horse and is a reliable equipment for a journey
Yr signifies skill, ability and finesse. As a general indicator for today, it indicates that you have the ability to handle things as they arise, so they work out for you in a beneficial manner. It may not be quickly, as any artist or artisan can tell you, but often times the best things take time to produce.
Aethel reversed
Aethel is the vowel sound “ai” (like bait)
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 reversed indicates a flight from the home and personal estate. It might be an indicator of discord among the inhabitants, but it is also a sign that perhaps one just needs to get out and do things, and will not have an opportunity to rest, and enjoy the things of the home in prosperity. You might also find yourself isolated in your own home. Restrictions and limitations keep you there, against your will, and the joys of family and friends are not able to enter in, for other reasons.
I am sorry if you have been wondering where my regular posts have gone. I have been dealing with some health issues, which had made it difficult to focus on keeping up with my blog. Also with the holidays in the USA upon us, it just serves as a further distraction. I seek to resume with new posts tomorrow.
Isa
Isa is the vowel sound “ee”
Anglo-Saxon rune poem (from ragweedforge.com)
Ice is very cold and immeasurably slippery;
it glistens as clear as glass and most like to gems;it is a floor wrought by the frost, fair to look upon
Isa is the rune of ice and cold. In a very literal way, today was a very cold day in Southern California. Not record lows, but according to weather history for the area, very close to it.
Spiritually, it shows that things have been put on ice. Generally it indicates things are frozen and locked up, unable to move or break free, contained or trapped by things around them. Of course, when things are frozen over, it might be an opportunity to pass them by, as you able to slide past easily (and hopefully gracefully) seeing things locked away, perhaps what was once ugly, not glistens like a jewel, frozen away
