Reading the Runes - Raidho

This is my blog about reading the runes, today's rune is Raido or Raidho.

Raido -meaning riding. One of Freya's eight.

Raidho or Raido is the symbol for taking a journey, it is usually travel for pleasure and is an auspicious rune. It can also mean taking a journey in the mind, we are sometimes at a crossroads and have to decide between two alternative paths, the decision should be based on the surrounding runes to see whether to change course.

If raidho is reversed it is likely that there will be delays in the journey, it will not be a smooth ride.

It could be associated with the Tarot Card -"The Chariot".

Reading the Runes - ANSUZ

ANSUZ

The communications rune.

Ansuz is sometimes called OS, it is also known as the God rune. It is the old letter A and can symbolize harmony. Think of the mouth, and communications especially with older or more experienced people. If you pull this rune, you are likely to be given good advice, or be given the opportunity to show others what you know, verbally or in writing.

If ANSUZ is reversed then you are being given bad advice, perhaps a slick salesperson is trying to sell you an idea. It is a sign of bad communications, lies and deceit. It could be an older person who is being a nuisance.

Reading the Runes - Thurisaz

Thurisaz

Hammer of Thor

You have the strength and the power of Thor to protect you but this does not mean that life will be running smoothly. You are on a warlike footing with a great weapon that you will need to protect yourself from others who are not on your side.

If Thurisaz is reversed then you have the weapon but you do not use if effectively, so although you are feeling confident and well equipped to deal with problems, you are unlikely to succeed. Do not be over confident or cocky about your abilities.
