qosToday I finally broke out my rune stones, put them in a bag, and drew one out --- the one that seemed to nestle itself into the palm of my hand almost immediately and stay there even as I mixed the others up.
It was Raido.
There are no hard-and-fast definitions of the meaning -- which drives my primary archetype nuts -- but that's also freeing.
The various images constellated around Raido include horse and cart, riding, journey, the Way, the sun path, right order.
As soon as I read about the horse, I thought of shamanism and otherworld journeys, which was affirmed a little later in Paxson's book. It suggests to me a bit more focused and disciplined attention to my spiritual path. The book that came with the runes also talked about it as a rune of union (as a journey unites "here" and "there" and a journey toward self-healing and union). Which was extremely pertinent, given a conversation I had last night with my teacher about my fears about losing touch with LM.
There is not enough time to explore all this right now. I mostly wanted to record that I Did It.
