*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!

Hey there! I didn't see a timeline here so I hope my posting this is still within limits.

Did the Reddit witch flung a curse at me? What is the outlook for this?

Thanks in advance.

The overall outlook is Elhaz, Sowilo and Ansuz. Elhaz/Algiz often signifies protection, Sowilo is the Sun and can symbolize Victory, Ansuz is Odin, speech, inspiration and can signify communication in general, but often specifically with the gods.

I haven't figured out how to answer "yes or no" questions with runes reliably yet, you might want to use geomancy or horary astrology for that, but from this reading it looks like she might have indeed flung one at you, but you were protected, you are in a victorious position, and you should pray and listen to what the gods tell you.

Thank you!

I am positive that she sent a curse my way because I felt it coming, it didn't ground probably because of daily banishing but I feel icky in a particular way. I didn't mention it because I didn't want to create bias. But I am glad the omen looks good, it was a very nasty curse. Funny the Sun comes out, since I've been praying and doing planetary workings to Apollo for the past month.

I don't know much about the runes, but by context I assume it is similar to Tarot for yes or no questions, you can't tell for sure but you have to infer from the outlook.

[gullindagan]

Yeah, similar to Tarot for me, though there are other differences. Sounds like you should keep working with Apollo then! Sowilo and Ansuz right there. Good luck!

For what it's worth, I have had some success (though not a lot of experience) using the method Thorsson outlines in Runecaster's Handbook for yes/no questions: you have a cloth marked/visualize the space the same as a "nine worlds reading", then cast the runes. You only look at the ones that land within the central "Midgard" circle (roughly 1/4-1/3 of the cloth, in the center, usually). You then count face up runes as votes for "yes" and face down runes as votes for "no". This gives you a nice crisp yes or no answer, but then you can look at which runes were face up or down to get some idea of what factors are leading to that answer.

I don't have any experience with either geomancy or horary astrology, so I don't know how it compares to them.

[gullindagan]

Yeah that does seem like a good way to potentially do it.
