Happy New Year!
I'm back from my holiday hiatus. Over the break I adopted a puppy and I'm thoroughly exhausted. I do not know up from down and I completely forgot I have a blog to update. I am only here because the doggo is currently sleeping. I wish I was, as well. We begin our venture into Runes with Ihwaz. Technically this is the exact middle stone in the three aettir (the categories of Runes), and I'm starting with it because it is the Rune of the New Year. And what an Ihwaz year this will be. As we fight our way through the poisonous spikes of the Covid-19 pandemic, how fitting that the Rune of the New year represents the poisonous and everlasting spikes of the yew tree. I hope the Coronavirus is not as persevering as the Yew. I hope we're the ones who persevere through it. Direct from the book, these are some of the details about each of the stones. The rest, of course, can be found in the Applied Runes book, now in stores! The link is below. Let's begin.
The Yew tree is one of the world’s oldest evergreens. It lives for thousands of years and possesses poisonous needles that affect the central nervous system.
In that regard, we can picture the Rune as a stick representing the Yew, with poisonous needles on each tip. As the Rune cannot be reversed, it is about unchanging perseverance, what happens when we die, and immortality. Ihwaz can not be reversed, as the mysteries surrounding death and eternity are not for us to solve. Ihwaz as: ...an action?
...a place in your house?
...a place in your city?
...a place in the world?
...a movie theme? Perseverance, immortality
A new career?
