*Free Rune Readings*

[gullindagan]

I am still offering free weekly rune readings. This helps me learn how to divine better, so all the payment I ask is an update on how the reading fit in with your reality!  I usually do a 3 stave reading, but have a 4 stave reading for some specific questions, and may experiment with other readings styles too.

Thank you!

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.
