I decided to take this one since I am studing the runes. I have never taken this quiz before, but this rune actually fits my own personality I think.

Ok I have started making the pages and sub pages for the Runes.  I will continue to post the daily draw here, but I will also be posting them on there own pages within this site.  Once I have updated the subpages, my daily draw will turn in to more of a reading, then a lesson on the stone itself.  Feel free to comment on the pages or the posts.

The Rune Poem
Wealth is a comfort to every man,
Although each should share it freely,
To gain the approval of the Lord.

Key Words:  Wealth, gain, financial security, success, nourishment, sharing, fertility

Divination:  Can represent financial advancement, romantic or emotional gain.

Message from stone: 
Good fortune is attainable, but will require effort to achieve.  Fulfillment of your goals is in the near future whether it involves love, friendship, health, or of course financial matters. Keep in mind that what you give is equaled by what you receive, so be prepared to share the new found wealth.  Your generosity in either monetary or emotional matters will encourage your wealth to continue to grow.  Your future wealth must be used with wisdom and shared to avoid conflict and discord.  This is true of knowledge, emotional wealth, and of course financial gains.

Ok more Rune stuff.  In an effort to learn the stones a bit faster, on occasion I will post about more then one a day.  Once I have gone though all of them, I am going to consolidate all the individual posts about them in to pages here on my website for future reading.  I am not sure if there will be a page for each rune, or a page for each Aett, or even just one page that has all of them.  I will decide that later on.

Algiz / Eohl

The Rune Poem
Eel- Grass grows most often in fen,
Waxes in water, grimly wounds,
Burning with stripes of blood the one
who tries to get a grip on it.

Keywords:  Protection, defense, sheild. 

Divination Message:  You will be protected form possible danger provided you head the warnings your intuition sends you. 

Message from stone: With wisdom, intuition and vision, you are protected from all harm.  There is danger ahead, but safety is assured as long as you head your premonitions and take caution.  The protection is a passive Shield that will ward off evil, and provide you with security in risky ventures as whether they are in business or love.  Don’t invite misfortune and leave nothing to chance, but proceed with caution until you have established you are on safe footing.

Music : "smaller and better things" by Roger Clyne and the PeaceMakers

Yesterday was my day off of work.  I stopped at a local metaphysicial store to look at runes.  The set I have is a cheap little set that came with a LWB (little white book to those of you not used to Tarot Refference)  They felt rough to my hands and I decided that I need to look for stones that felt more comfortable and soothing.  I found a really nice hand made set in the store.  They are not real stone or wood, but they are nice and smooth and are woven with earthy colors.  The price was very reasonable so I bought them.  I will resume my daily draw tomarrow if all goes well and I have time.

Music : "Save Me" by Nickelback

The Rune Poem - Verse XIX
The horse before peers is a princely joy
stepping out proudly when spoken of
by wealthy riders all around him -
and to one who’s unquiet he is ever a comfort.

Key Words: Partnership, Instinct, progress, trust, loyality, faith.

Divination Message: A period of cooperation.  A pleasurable journey.  A life change.

Message from Stone:  This is a good time for a journey.  Either a trip for pleasure or a journey of self discovery.  This journey will be aided by loyal friends whom you can trust to help you reach your goal as long as you return that loyality and support.  Progress and forward motion is being  made, but is is at a slow pace.  Keep your mind, heart, and eyes open to the change.  Keep moving forward no matter what your fears and the jrouney will be a  success.  Toss your inhibitions to the wind and enjoy the adventure.

Ok considering I drew this just after discussing my upcoming trip to Vegas with friends, it is very fitting.

Mood : optimistic
Music : the sound of the washing maching

The Rune Poem: Verse XVI Sowelu
The Sun to seafarers always means hope,
when they ferry across the fishes’ bath
till the horse of the sea brings them to harbour.
Key words:  Success, Hope, good health, happiness, optimism, confidence.Divination Message: most often indicates victory, or the promise of victory.  Also a time of hope, safety, and happiness.

Message from Stone:  This is a positive time with reason for hope.  Allow fear and uncertainty to fade away as the light of the sun brings hope for clarity for the future.  No matter how dark and clouded life gets, when the new day begins, there is a shift and nothing remains the same as it was.   Your dreams are realized and all problems dissipate into the mist.  Success is possible in all relationships, both professional and personal.

The Rune Poem: Verse X Naudz:
Hardship lies heavy on the heart,
Yet oft to the children of men
It becomes Nonetheless a help and a healing,
If they heed it in time.

Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem Verse:
Need is narrow on the chest —though worths it oft to men’s children
To help and heal however—if they listen to it early.

Key words:  Necessity and constraint.  Patience.

Message from the stone:
The stresses and hardships of life can be a sign that change is needed.  If this sign is acted upon the changes can lead to inner strength, growth, determination, and resilience.

Divination Message:
Continuous effort and paitence is required to overcome hardships.

I drew this stone yesterday morning.  The same day I unprotected my work vents.  I contemplated the meaning of this stone and the stresses going on in my work enviroment.  The message shows me that if I can cope with the stress and hardship, and learn from it going forward, there will be better times ahead.  .Â
