Hi Dragonspell. Welcome aboard What a wonderful story of fate! It is fantastic when things work out for you. Sounds like it is a wonderful example of Gebo and Odin/blank Runes combined. There are No sure and fast ways to condition Runes. Not that i have heard of anyway. I just found the more you play with them the more of your energy is absorbed by them. For me I found drawing one a day or every couple of days and applying the Runes meanings to life. was a really good way to intimately know your Runes. Draw the runes one by one to make up stories etc... Write with them. Apply the journey of Runes to your life. Understand them by finding all about your Runes, where do they come from, what region? Where does the Crystal come from. What does it all mean to you? Develop an intimate relationship with your Runes. Make their bag yourself !! embroider your initials in runic language on your bag! Or even mark your bag with the Runic Bind Runes. Attach personal items to your bag. whatever makes these Runes wholy souly "Your" Runes!. I made my Runes and Their bag and Wrote a book on their meanings. ( i then made every member in my family a set of runes and wrote everyone a book to go with them. It took me a couple of years to write the book . I used a Rune journal and recorded my findings especially on the one Rune a day. I never recorded Spreads because i wanted to know each individual Rune First. I tried to stick to the Runes I had for the time, so i did not confuse myself. I studied other Runes and systems later on, After i got to know mine first. I found once I could relate my runes to life. I found they were so much easier to interpret. One Rune draws are a always a personal draw, and a personal message. I do not ask my Runes many questions at all, I allow them to show me what i need to know. I also carry with my Runes a piece of Amethyst for cleansing and an Indian Warriors teardrop ( i dont know the scientific name for it Sorry) this stone is meant to absorb negative energy away from my Runes. I also Use a large Quartz to help me focus before i do any readings.And after to regain focus if i read for others Hope i have helped a little Please ask away with any questions I will try to answer as best I can. Love and Light Dancing Bear

YOU THINK IT WOULD HELP ALOT IF I SAT DOWN WITH THE WOMAN WHO MADE THEM? SHE SAID SHE DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO CLEANSE THEM BUT I TOLD HER I COULD DO IT, MAYBE HER ENERGY IS TOO STRONG FOR ME TO CLEAR IT WITHOUT HER HELP. SHE IS A HIGH PRIESTESS . YES I SHALL GO TO HER IN THE MORNING.

A good way to cleanse crystals is using Sea water, soak them in it in the sunlight.I go down to the beach and fill a container at times and bring it home. Only a small container. I know its naughty of me but it is the only way i can see to cleanse my crystal in safety, using salt water. Or you can Just allow your runes to bask in the sun Masculine energy OR lay them in the Full Moon light to allow Feminine energy to cleanse them. I dont htink it really matters how strong the person was who made them ....they are yours now. Make them your own Dancing Bear xx By all means ask the woman where she got the crystal from. Is there a history behind the crystal? etc.. Modified to add also an ancient Indian way to cleanse your crystals is to visualise you have white breathe, when breathing out. Now blow this white breathe through your crystal, try to visualise this white purifying breathe go right through your crystals cleansing them and visualising them clean and crystal clear . As pure and innocent as a child.

GEBO in Divination
Gebo in relationship Spreads
Gebo's meaning is both Positive and negative, and you'll fiind no matter how it comes out it is always in an upright position. If Gebo is in an obstacles position then we will interpret in a Markstave (negative) way. But with Gebo negative is not tragic. There are hiccups. We lose our way and are promted to get back on track.
Positive nature: A Beautiful Union is at hand, Wonderful new beginings are about to happened, If already in a relationship, A new spark in your exsisting realtionship is certainly going to put you both back on track.
Negative nature: You are put on notice to correct your relationship to yourself. You must love yourself to love another. You attract where you are at!!
Work Related Spread
Positive nature; A partnership is at hand, you will receive new resposibilities. because of your fresh ideas, your uniqueness is much appreciated. Your will have fresh new beginings almost always involving another.
Negative nature; work quarrels, unhappiness,wanting to move forward but are stuck. Yet again we attract where we are at!! Change our motives behind our actions, use your own uniqueness, your own fresh ideas and you will succeed.
Money related spreads.
Positive nature; Your will receive an opportunity to earn or aquire more money through someone, receive money as a gift, You will reap rewards for all of your efforts.
negative nature; you are feeling you are being ripped off! Money owing to you and not forthcoming. Or simply none in sight at the moment.
Gebo paired with other runes in spreads variates its meaning slightly. This is where Gebo can become quite negative in meaning when paired with other Runes.
With Ansuz it is still quite a positive Rune. As a bind Rune Gebo and Ansuz combined...... is the bind Rune of Give Good Luck 'gibu auja'
eg.. Gebo with Ansuz -- Gifts/partnerships with signals/messenger Runes In a relationship spread it means someone will introduce you someone who will become very special to you.
in a work related spread. you will receive a reward for you hard work, not only verbal recognition but also gifts. Pay rise etc..
Money related, you will receive word of an inheritance or of a win of some sorts.
Gebo With Hagalaz Gifts/partnerships with disruptions Hagalaz also only has an upright position, BUT always has a markstave/reversal meaning.
In all spreads with Gebo and Hagalaz; Hagalaz denotes a real need to break free and go on a journey by yourself. If already in a partnership,....it is not working for you at this moment. You are felling restricted needing some space. Or if you are single.... You truly are not ready for any type of relation ship right now there are things to be done for yourself first. Your work place .......You are feeling stifled needing a break, Things are definately not going as you thought they would. Time for change, As you may be left without a job in the near future anyway. Watch your moneys closely, someone is not as trustworthy as you think. Something has come up and your savings are needed. You are falling short with what you need and cannot move forward.
Hagalaz being one of the cycle runes also denotes whatever happens here, Growth is prompted.
Hope everyone gets the gist of reading Gebo our Rune of Gifts and partnerships of any kind.

I always cleanse whatever tools I will be using. I don't live near the ocean anymore so I use sea salt from the store and spring water. Your tools should have only your energy on them. If someone else holds them or touches them cleanse them again.

I have been thinking about Gebo and the gifts it denotes are given. I was given an insight the other day. An insight that helped me start clearing some old baggage. My Kids were given the opportunity to sit and watch a little Ant clean himself off after falling into the pool. They all now see Ants quite a bit differently now, They dont squish them anymore.I think the experience for them gave the Ant a Soul. I was given the name of a book today, It is a book i have been looking for...for a long time. So for me Gebo's Gifts may also come in a non material form too!
P.S Thanks Lady Bleu. I tend to think everyone lives near the sea. Is Rock Salt the same as Sea Salt?

Yeh!! it does mean relationships and partnerships also, another aspect of it is gifts..... I really have only seen Gebo like you Lilacsky and pretty much stuck with that interpretation. But I thought i would sit back and observe what sort of gifts it could mean. You know it is quite unbelievable to see how many gifts we are given in a single day. Quite a powerful Rune to pull.

ANSUZ......... Signals, Source of Devine utterances, Norse God Loki. River mouth.
Alphabetical letter; A
This Rune concentrates on messages, signals and also gifts. This is the messenger Rune. Messages can can come in any form, The message will be to say a new life is unfolding, The need to integrate the unconsious motive to the conscious intent. Take special notice in meetings, visits, chance encounters, especially with people wiser than yourself. Even in the worst scoundrels there is a bit of wisdom that can be used.
Ansuz also says there is a connection with our higher selves, Soul, God or Divine Whichever we believe. IS at hand. A chance to get in touch with Your true self. WIth this encounter you will be able to grow receiving an insight that will enable you to get closer to becoming your true self .....all the time.
You will feel a sense of closeness with family & friends with this rune also.
This Rune denotes we at the beginings of a spiritual Journey, It is up to you to continue or not. You are receiving the messages/ Signals, You have free will to follow or turn the other way.

I have discovered a site that allows you to put the Runes in your fonts, So next time you are writing a secret letter you can use the Runic language. Here is the site.. www.rb59.com/software/rrunesf.htmlEasy to apply in your computer. Just need Winzip/ winrar. You can get a free trial download if you need to. There are many other sites you can go to, I just found thid site and fonts basic and clearly understandable. The Runes are also on the corresponding letter on the keyboard Heres the entire alphabet. Mannaz - M Gebo - G Ansuz - A Othila - O Uruz - U Peorth - P Nauthiz - N Inguz - ng Eihwaz - E (ei) Algiz - Z Fehu - F Wunjo - W Jera - J Kano - K Teiwaz - T Berkana - B Ehwaz - E Laguz - L Hagalaz - H Raido - R Thurisaz - (th) Dagaz - d Isa - I Sowelu - S

I have found a few sites that may help a little with the research on Runic Alphabet system. A little bit of interesting history and shows you how the runes were used for communication. Enjoy!! sunnyway.com/runes/americanstones.htmlwww.cdli.ca/CITE/v_runes.htmwww.blue-n-gold.com/halfdan/runes.htmwww.omniglot.com/writing/runic.htmThe last site gives you a variation of Runes , depending on where they came from, their symbols differ. Some Runes are called different names and also look completely different, but have the same meaning.. I suppose it is the same with any divination system, we are going to find that some even though look different mean the same. Eg... Ansuz (viking Rune) is the same as Os ( Anglo saxon/ Old English Rune) They even look the same . Mind i have seen Os varying in looks too. All a bit confusing when just learning the Runes, But interesting to see the different Runic Systems.. The one we are looking at on this site is the most commonly used Nordic/ Viking Runes. Hope you Find the sites insightful ..... and hopfully help understand the Alphabet and how it was used. Dancing Bear

Rock salt is a coarse grind of salt. It is mostly from mined salt just not as finely ground but it can be from the sea. Sea salt is called that because it is always from the sea, mostly salt ponds from sea water.

Thanks Lady Bleu I think if i adapt the method of mixing the sea salt and mineral water, I may save some little critters i gather in the bottle of water i pinch from the sea. I also feel sad that all these little wriggly things in the bottom of the bowl will eventually die. This way I will feel lot better doing my part in preserving what we can. Thanks again!!!

OTHILASeparation, Retreat Othila to me , is a bit like Death in Tarot. Separating yourself from outmoded paths, relationships etc... Now is not the time to attack, Submission is called for. Slowly slip away to recoup, retreat, gather your strength and move forward to a better life path. Like gather your enrgies put them into a basket , over view them them put them into correct order and simply just throw what is not needed. This Rune can move on a deep psyche level. Something you have claimed to be your own. A part of your personality may need reviewing. It is no longer serving you but just old habit hard to break.. This rune is saying that break is needed for you to move forwards. It could be your attachment to what you think you need to acheive, at work, within a relationship etc... this again is outmoded. You need to go within and ask yourself how do i really feel. Retreat. Submit and observe how you feel, your different responses to things and people around you do you like those feelings / responses. Do you respond the same with everything .....seeing the down side all the time? This could be what needs to be shed, your perception... This is a deep Rune and needs to be looked at in all avenues before jumping to any conclusions.. In a Rune reading for someone else or even yourself the surrounding Runes will point you in the direction of where the problems lay. This week you may draw a clarifyer Rune if you get stuck it may help point you in the right direction The question would be.... Where does Othila apply to me at this time in my life??? I will post Monday..Let you know where Othila Applies in my life. Everyone have a fantastic weekend!!
