Thurisaz is the sound “th”
Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem (from ragweedforge.com)
The thorn is exceedingly sharp,
an evil thing for any knight to touch,uncommonly severe on all who sit among them
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
I resume the Rune project with the rune Laguz, the ocean, and it’s currents, waves and tides or as I like to think about it, it’s flow. It’s always good to be with the flow when beginning anew, although it can be a little terrify as you might not be sure of where it is going.
There is no letter equivalent for Gar
There is no rune poem for Gar. It is a Northumbrian Rune.
My sense about the rune of this week is that I need to take a break for this week from doing my regular rune posts. Let things clear out, and come back next week. Of course, with my class beginning this Wednesday, June 16 at Points of Light, well that might also be a good time to just relax and let myself focus on being thoroughly prepared.

Wunjo reversed
Wunjo is the letter W
Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem (from ragweedforge.com)
Bliss he enjoys who knows not suffering, sorrow nor anxiety,
and has prosperity and happiness and a good enough house
Wunjo reversed shows sorrow, anxiety and suffering. This indicates perhaps that this will be an unpleasant week, where because of there being experiences of loss, might lead to other feelings.
What is mainly lost is harmony. The regular accord you have with yourself, with spirits, with people around you is temporarily disturbed. Perhaps an assumption is made, an offering forgotten, or some part of your discipline falters. The loss of this harmony is the cause of the anxiety and suffering that you experience.
Khalk is the letter K
There is no rune poem for Khalk. It is a Northumbrian Rune.
Khalk is the cup, chalice or grail. The drinking utensil that holds liquids, but it is also the Loving Cup, the chalice of dreams and desires, and the Holy Grail whose draught can ease pain, bring healing, and gaining it fulfils desires and is the attainment of the quest. Khalk is the rune that gives us that taste of fulfillment that we seek, but at the same time it also goads us onward, showing us how much farther we need to go, until we gain that which is desired.
Gar
There is no letter equivalent for Gar
There is no rune poem for Gar. It is a Northumbrian Rune.
The Spear rune, a symbol of Yggdrasil, and the Pole Star, the cosmic center and axis, is the rune for this week. There is nothing but potential and possibility that can be had, and actions and events are free from Wyrd and Orlog, in the sense that they will either be ending a chain of events, or creating new ones. How they turn out are yet to be seen, and perhaps are not being shown as that information is not available or needed.
Dagaz is the letter D
Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem (from ragweedforge.com)
Day, the glorious light of the Creator, is sent by the Lord;
it is beloved of men, a source of hope and happiness to rich and poor,and of service to all.
This week is characterized by the Rune Dagaz, the rune of the Day, of Change, and a rune of Time. It signifies that this week will be filled with all those opportutinies, weather for the light of Day bringing boon or bane, and the changes that will come from it.
Ear
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 is the rune of week, speaks to what has started today and will continue for the next three weeks. As most occult-minded readers will know, it is the beginning of Mercury Retrograde. During this time, it appears that the planet Mercury is moving backwards in the sky. As Ear represents the forces of death, decay and entropy, it marks the disintegration that occurs under all the things that are influenced by Mercury. While this confusion is happening for most though, to those who are diligent, focused and take the time to review, re-read, and re-examine, life will flow more smoothly. Even as the decline sets in, if you are skilled, you can move with the entropy. At the end of the Retrograde, unresolved or lingering elements might be removed, and allow you begin anew, which is part of the mystery of Mercury Retrograde.
Ehwaz reversed
Ehwaz is the short e vowel, as in “get”
Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem (from ragweedforge.com)
The horse is a joy to princes in the presence of warriors.
A steed in the pride of its hoofs,when rich men on horseback bandy words about it;and it is ever a source of comfort to the restless
Ehwaz reversed countenances patience, and to move forward slowly. Sometimes it may tell you to move slowly, other times it just turns out you are in a situation where you have no choice but to move like molasses in January. Either way, avoid acting hastily, don’t make short, fast “spur of the moment” trips, and you might want to double check everything before you leave, or else you might end up forgetting things.
