Hi all,
I have been getting more involved in casting runes. I miss the Rune Reading Circle and if Barabara Ahajusts doesn't want to run it (??), I offer to re-start it in the new year.
I have been finding some 'spreads' (for want of a better term, my tarot background coming through), and would appreciate if anyone had others to post. I do realize that do it correctly one should have a mat or spread cloth with proper divisions. I was thinking more of 'baby' or beginner spreads.
I have begun to understand that, like tarot cards, runes interact and strengthen or weaken each other's meaning. So, while I often draw a single rune, like a daily draw, that really to get the true feeling for the meaning, that more than one should show up. I also understand that runes have 'friends', sort of along the line that, for example, the Heirophant can be 'expressed' in the 5's of the various tarot suits.
There is a Three Rune Divination, whereby simply three runes are drawn and placed in a triangular pattern. Both their interaction and the 'story flow' should be considered for a reading. Because of the triangle, all three runes interact.
The Past-Present-Future layout seems to involve three runes in each position, and they 'should' be vertically stacked, as such:
Past: R1, R2, R3
Present: R1, R2, R3
Future; R1, R2, R3
It seems because the runes should interact within their own time frame, however they can also be interpreted flowing down as well as across. i.e. the three R1's can be seeing as flowing forward in time.
The Elemental Spread:
..............................R2 (north/earth)
..R5 (west/cycles).....R1 querent...........R4 (east/communication)
..............................R3 (south/passion)
That is about as far as I would tackle, the ones further on get larger and more esoteric.
If there is interest in reviving the Circle, clearly members should read as is their practise.
Also, more experienced members, feel free to correct me, I barely know anything here!!!
