gullindagan | *Free Rune Readings*

Thanks very much for continuing to offer these, I found your reading last week very helpful, though I don't have much to report yet, other than the expected difficulties of transitioning from teaching online back to teaching in-person, complicated by students getting sick and the like.

A bit of background for my question: My daily ogham divinations this week have been suggesting that there is something that is hidden from me - perhaps intentionally, perhaps by myself. Earlier today, when I asked for clarification, I got Muin Reversed, which according to JMG's Druidry Handbook means "Burdens, difficulties; a need to relax and unwind; you have been trying too hard in unproductive ways." This struck me, as I had a dream earlier this week that involved me trying less hard on something and getting better results.

My question: what do I most need to know to work out what this hidden problem/issue/challenge is?

Thank you!

In response to your question, I got Fehu, Isa and Dagaz.

To me, that means that the root of the issue has something to do with moveable wealth, money, or a certain firey initiative energy. Isa means this wealth flow or energy is getting blocked up, frozen, slowed, but the outcome is illumination; you'll understand it soon.

Very interesting! The same night I had the dream I mentioned, I had another dream where the Isa bead somehow fell off of my bracelet (I have "prayer beads" I made of the Elder Futhark). I was trying to keep the bracelet together while I figured out how to restring it, and my father was trying to pull the rest of the beads off as the "most efficient" way to move forward, and he got upset with me when I told him to stop trying to help.

I'm also meditating my way through the "Fire" aicme (rough equivalent of an aett, each has an elemental correspondence) of the Ogham, and during one meditation earlier this week, seemed to see Freyja teaching me to guide a fiery energy through my subtle body.

All of which is to say I think you're spot on. As I figure this out, I'll share what I learn.

Interesting!

Ok, tough! I did "what does Mole_End gain by revealing his feelings and what does he lose. What does he gain by not revealing his feelings and what does he lose"

Hagalaz for what you gain by revealing your feelings.
Thurisaz for what you lose.
Eihwaz for what you gain by not revealing your feelings, Othala for what you lose.

Hagalaz is hail, falling ice that turns to water. A crisis, but one that has the seed potential of new life.
Thurisaz is pain and torment to women, a sharp thorn.

Eihwaz is the mystical Yew tree and is a sign of initiation and synthesis of up and down.
Othala is the home, ancestry, inheritance, heritage, wealth that can't be moved.

So to me this says that telling her would be a crisis, she might not respond how you'd hoped, but it would relieve some pain and angst, and sows the seed for a future possibility of getting together. (Brief aside, something like this happened to me, where I manned up and told my friend I liked her, even though it was very hard, she let me down easy, but my pain was relieved and I felt good for making a go of it. A few months later she changed her mind, but at that point I was already seeing somebody else and her glamour had faded for me)

Now, if you don't tell her, you gain a possible initiation, and you lose some sort of ancestral legacy, inheritance or peaceful home. That's the best I can do.

Good luck!

If I may, one possibility (that's all it is, and honestly I'm probably reading too much into this) is that the reading is pointing to a choice between the mundane life and the spiritual life.

If he hides his feelings and they grow more intense, he may get a chance to transmute them into spiritual potential (Eihwaz), but in doing so he forfeits the mundane life of home and family (Othala). On the other hand, if he reveals his feelings, he suffers, but the cycle starts again (Hagalaz) perhaps with less difficulty, but perhaps with less strength (Thurisaz can mean strength) — perhaps just an easier time, so both less strength but less need for strength.

So to put it in terms from India, maybe — again, I'm probably just reading too much into this — his choice is between moksha and samsara. Does he want to go another round, or get off the wheel?

To Mole_End, if you're reading this: This is probably wrong, and even if I'm right, it's probably not literally a choice between moksha and samsara, and even if it is, bear in mind that in Hinduism, it's recommended that you live a full life before seeking moksha. Furthermore, the runes come from a tradition that's very pro-samsara, so it's not clear to me that there's a right or wrong answer here.

Thank you for offering to do this. I took the advice last week and have started focusing on other things in my life.

This week, I wanted to ask a question on my career and work. This week will be the completion of a very large project professionally, and I am pleased with the results. Yet, being myself, I've taken a big risk and quit the company (moving into a consulting role in June) so I can have more time to chasing my goal of starting something myself.

With this project coming to an end, its likely the consulting gig that was paying my bills will end soon too, and the idea for a business is no where in sight. I'm feel some stress on this now, so my question is, am I headed in the right direction even though I can't see ahead?

I have always acted according to my will, even when it punishes me.

For your question, I got Isa, Thurisaz and Jera.

Isa is going it alone.
Thurisaz is your current angst and pain.
Jera is the bountiful harvest you will gain in the future.

Good luck!

So keep going then.

Thank you for doing this.

Hello Gullindagan. I am an interested materialistic heathen trying to open myself up to a less limited understanding of the world. What do you need from me to participate in your offering? Thank you. Den

Well, for this offering, just a sincere question that you want the Runes (and me) to weigh in on.

This is going to require some thought.

Hi Gullindagan,
My question is about my wife Jacqueline. Will/is her future be/a happy and healthy one?
That's it. Thank you. Best to you. Den

For your question, I got:

Tiwaz, Ingwaz, Fehu - Tiwaz is the Rune of the god Tyr, and symbolizes Justice, Duty, Troth. Ingwaz is the Rune of the god Ingui-Freyr and symbolizes the Seed, fertility, and rest. Fehu means moveable wealth, money, gold, and a fiery energy, literally means "cattle".

To me that means that her past has been dutiful and lawful, her present is one of fertile constriction, rest, waiting, and her future features wealth.

That brings a smile to my face. She is a good person who gives herself away to others to easily and often thanklessly. Currently she is more socially withdrawn with our current social and political situation and taking care of her elderly parents. She worries to much. All I want is happiness and health for her future. Thank you very much for this Gullindagan! Den

Well wishes to you both!

Hi Gullindagan,

Much appreciate you offering rune readings again this week. Last week, I meditated on the info you provided, regarding the worship of the norse pantheon, last week on how a) I'd gain self control but b) lose a gift/relationship. I did have an an experience with a figure of the druid revival pantheon as I began doing the SoP regularly. I'm guessing thst going the norse direction would generally stop that relationship from progressing.

For this week, my question was- Will I lose my job as a result of non-compliance with the incoming federal vaccine mandate?

Thanks,

Tamanous

Well, for your reading I got: Ingwaz, Isa and Wunjo.

The roots of this situation lay in the seed of potential; strong walls around the germ of your soul. The present circumstance is Ice, the slippery, dangerous bridge of isolation. Surprisingly, for me, what should happen as the outcome is Joy. Wunjo is just about the most positive Rune in the Futhark. So this leads me to believe that no, you won't lose your job, (but if you do you will be very happy.)

That certainly sounds promising either way haha. Appreciate the reading, that helps me feel less anxious moving forward.
