Re: Runic reading
Date: 2023-05-23 12:41 am (UTC)I asked "Are IVN66's current plans on when and where to relocate good for him/her?" and for a spread I used "Setting" (context), "Work" (the plan and the move itself), and "Outcome(s)" (what is likely to come about if you go through with it).
Draw
Setting: Isa "Ice"
Work: Berkano "Birch Goddess"
Outcome(s): Sowilo "Sun"
My Take on It
Wow, this is a rather straightforwardly positive reading, so the short answer is "yes, it would be good." Isa indicates that you have been isolated, maybe concentrating on yourself, whether for good or ill. The move itself would be something of a "Rebirth" for you, in a positive sense, but of course that only comes after some parts of your life (like what you would leave behind) have "died". For me personally, Berkano is associated with Spiritual Awakenings, so there's a possibility the move could feature one of those. For the outcome, Sowilo is literally the "victory" Rune - it represents the goal of striving, but also the guide and path to that goal. So, it indicates that the move would indeed get you what you're looking for, but there's a subtle undercurrent of movement, rather than settling - which means that maybe this move would be a stop on the way to where you'll end up permanently rather than the end point (I cheated a bit on this last part by reading JMG's take on your Geomancy reading and going "oh, right, that's why it's Sowilo instead of Othala (homeland)" :)).
Please let me know any follow up questions you have and I'd love to hear if this rings true at all.
