  • Rune reading and the turn of the Wheel

    When a month ago I pulled a Wheel of Fortune, it felt as a major turn. I pulled runes to discover what this turn is about, what is the change that is happening?

    I pulled a reversed Berkana on “what is leaving me”.
    The understanding was immediate, I know this place so well.

    How do I read runes, basically?

    Every rune has plenty of freedom in divination, based on mythology, common social use, personal reading experience, and perception. Reading is a unique choice made by clairvoyance, applying all the above in the given context.

    Berkana. The word itself means a birch tree. A woman who is being born, lives, dies. Morning, day, and night. Maiden, Mother, Crone.

    I rarely read runes, cards оr other symbols in the reversed position, but as mentioned, I have seen this symbol before. I am in a relationship where my feminine role is out of alignment, in a “wrong” position. If I were to sing it, the melody would be jumpy and not flowing. If I were to draw it, it would look like pieces piling up in a messy, uncomfortable combination, rather than creating harmony.

    That is changing. to Gebō.

    Gebo is a gift. It is aslo my name: “Dar” in Russian is a “gift”. This rune is about giving and receiving, parts working in balance. Also, commonly read as “a relationship”. It is a rune I love dearly.

    Reading for oneself could be tricky: too much ego, way too much context. I don’t know what exactly this wheel turn brings – something good, something balanced. I will discover with time and write it down to my personal symbol interpretation library.
