Alrighty, to do this reading, I opened a sacred space, called upon the Wyrds (Norns) and concentrated on your question while shaking the Runestaves vigorously. I then dropped them in a dice tray, said a prayer to the Gods who help me with divination, and then drew three staves without looking, using the spread "Setting (context), Work (doing the thing you're considering), and Outcome(s) (whatever is most likely to come about if you do what you're thinking about). If I drew the stave right side up, it is "bright," and if I drew it face down it is "murky," which is roughly equivalent to drawing a card reversed in systems like Tarot. In the system of interpretation I use, "murky" means either that the forces represented by the Rune are manifesting in an unhelpful or harmful way, or else that they are somehow "blocked" - not manifesting fully or at all.

Asking - "What does roobyalien most need to understand about his/her new job?"
Draw
Setting: Algiz (Murky) - "Elk" or "Protection"
Job: Sowilo (Murky) - "Sun"
Outcome(s): Uruz (Murky) - "Aurochs"

My Take on It
Oof, again, this batch of readings had a heck of a lot of murkstaves. This is not exactly an easy reading. For the setting, Algiz (Murky) implies that there is some kind of hidden danger in your life, perhaps with a spiritual/archetypal dimension. It implies that subconscious forces (yours or others) threaten to overwhelm you. Also, if you are a spiritual or magical practitioner, you may be cut off from an important source of your power. For the Job itself, I drew Sowilo (Murky). Sowilo is the Sun as shining beacon and source of orientation. To draw it murky implies that this job is not on the path to your true goals. Perhaps you have taken it on the advice of others, or out of a lack of more positive direction. For Outcome(s), Uruz is the Rune of raw, vital power, and to draw it murky implies either that power being wielded somehow unhelpfully (at the wrong time or by the wrong person or to the wrong ends), or else a blockage of that power, bringing lethargy and ill health.

It is striking to me that all of these Runes have to do with power and attainment, especially of a spiritual kind, and yet all came up murky. This implies to me that this job might be some kind of barrier to you expressing your full power in the best way.

I'm sorry for such a bummer of a reading, and I could be over-estimating its severity. Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions, and if you're willing, I'd very much appreciate hearing whether this struck a chord or felt off, and if so, in what ways.

Cheers,
Jeff
