Monsoon Season in the desert

It feels like it's going to rain any minute, but so far nada. I get a headache when the air pressure changes, so I'm hoping for a little rain tonight. Coming from New Jersey originally I'm used to saying, "Rain, rain go away!" instead of hoping fo...

So Anyway, Back to the Runes...

In my last blog on runes, I mentioned that much of what we call runic divination is very modern. Most people are using the Elder Futhark. It's the oldest rune row and it's called "futhark" for the first six runes: Fehu (F), Uruz (U), Thurisaz (Th), Ansuz (A), Raidho (R), and Kenaz (K). There are 24 runes in the Elder Futhark arranged in three rows of eight. Over time, the runes changed as the language changed. The Younger Furthark dropped several runes because those sounds were not used in the l… Continue

Busy, Busy, Busy

So much for my intentions of keeping a regular blog! Last week was a mad rush to catch up with the homework and projects that I'd fallen behind on during the previous week. Aside from a couple days off to do some fun stuff, my kindred was hosting Patty Lafayllve author of "Freyja, Lady, Vanadis" and Steerswoman of The Troth. We visited the Northern Winds store in Phoenix, AZ on Thursday with Patty, so that she could sign some of her books. The website for Northern Winds is: http://thenorthernwin… Continue

Runes...which way do they go?

In the modern world, we love organization. Sometimes that means we apply modern organization to things in the past that had little formal organization in their own time. That's true for the runes too. When we do runic divination today we look at the orientation of the rune, upright or upside down or maybe facing right or left. Sometimes popular books about the runes will say that these positions had meaning to our ancestors, but as far as we can determine, that's not the case. The runes were car… Continue

Runes....for starters

One thing I don't think many people realize is that the runes were a true alphabet, not just symbols used for magic and divination. In fact, we don't really know much about their use as a divination tool because nothing regarding the tradition has survived. The rune poems aren't very clear on that matter. I think it is Tacitus who mentions the man of the house throwing lots, which could be the runes, but he doesn't actually describe what was on the lots so we don't know for sure. It's likely tha… Continue

A Start to a Blog....

I hope to make this blog the first in an ongoing series of blogs about various topics, starting with the runes. Blogging is still a fairly new thing for me and despite good intentions, I haven't done more than one or two blogs since I've been on MySpace and now PaganSpace. Life tends to get in the way and blogging tends to go last on my list. It still seems strange to post a journal entry online where everyone can see it. When I was a kid, I had the kind of diaries with locks on them and those w… Continue

It's been about 10 years since I last studied runes, and I wasn't that great to begin with! I'll be reading your posts on runes. Once, after doing a love spell when I was a teenager, I turned around and started walking back towards home and I saw the Wunjo symbol made of sticks in my path. Perhaps it was just a coincidence, but I tend to believe otherwise. That relationship lasted 3 years. It was a good time, but not a relationship for the long run. I'm happily married now!
