Whether or not you enjoy Tarot readings or psychic predictions, I thought you might enjoy the results of a Runes reading I just did for this diary entry.
I wasn’t sure what the outcome would be. I simply asked for insight into what lies ahead for all of us in the Resistance against the Trump Administration and all the evil they stand for.
Below is the result of my 3-rune spread. After shuffling the 25 rune stones on a tray without looking, I then drew three runes and placed them in order of drawing, in the position for this type of spread, which is a horizontal row from right to left, with the first rune at the far right.
1st Rune: This position in the spread describes the current “situation” being faced. The rune drawn was “10. Protection”
2nd Rune: This position details the “action” needed or suggested. The rune drawn was “17. Movement”
3rd Rune: This position reveals the “new” situation coming out of the action taken. The rune drawn was “9. Defense”
“The Book of Runes: A Compass for Navigating in Turbulent Times”
Based on Ralph Blum’s book, below is the result of this special rune reading.
The current situation we are facing involves a time of transition during which it’s important not to be overwhelmed by extreme emotions and accelerated change.
This Rune (10. Protection— also called “The Elk” or “Algiz”) typically indicates new opportunities as well as challenges, and warns of unwanted influences.
Blum says “Algiz serves as a mirror for the Spiritual Warrior...Remain mindful that timely action and correct conduct are the only true protection...You will progress; knowing that is your protection.”
Regarding the action we should collectively take, the Rune in the second position of the spread, “17. Movement” is self-explanatory. This Rune is also known as “Ehwaz” — “Progress” — or “The Horse.” This rune signifies a state of transition. Not only physical shifts, but new attitudes, as well as the type of movement that is all about improving or bettering a situation.
Blum says about this Rune, whose symbol is a horse drawing the sun across the sky, “You have progressed far enough to feel a measure of safety in your position. It is time to turn again and face the future reassured, prepared to share the good fortune that comes.”
And now we reach the third Rune in the spread, the one that indications the new situation now that the action has created more progress in the direction of good fortune.
By this point, you may think that I deliberately chose the best runes possible, but I honestly made the choices without looking, relying on my own spiritual connectivity to attract the runes we need to see the most at this time.
So here’s the last Rune: “9. Defense — also called Eilwaz — Avertive Powers — The Yew Tree”. This rune’s message is all about handling obstacles in our path, how to develop our power to cope with “trying times.” Blum says: “This Rune speaks to the difficulties that arise at the beginning of new life. Often it announces a time of waiting….Perseverance and foresight are called for here.”
Putting all the runes together, we see that together we are in a powerful time of transition and progress.
Now we feel more confident about what we are doing—we’ve had some achievements that we’re proud of. And as we move forward, we’ll do so with the knowledge that obstacles must give way to us because we won’t give up, and we won’t give in.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this reading.
Best,
Evelyn
