Now I'm going to confuse you here. I have been searching the internet for more insight on Othila. I have come accross another meaning to the Rune.. Home !! A place where you can recharge your batteries and be yourself. With the interpretaton I found it suggests you need to find this place you call Home and return. I suppose its in reference to what has already been mentioned Retreat, Slowly slipping away to recoup.. To add Home to it. Would be to retreat to a place you feel at peace and call Home!! Othila means to me I need to gather all of my scattered projects and put them in order of need through to want. I have been working on a lot at the moment and have Overloaded so to speak. I have stopped readings for the time to gather my strength, Put in order my Spiritual Findings and projects, Gather my family around me (home) put my Home in order. Give my attention to what needs it most for the moment. ( My Children) And just do one project at a time instead of trying to scatter myself too thinly ( Wonder Woman). I need to concentrate on shedding the need to do everything all at once and all by myself. Others will more than willingly help out.. If not , It will get done eventually all in its own good time. My well being and My families Well being is the most important issue.. All else can wait in line. My Self worth was low to a point I felt i needed to prove myself somehow.Prove I can do it all by myself. I burnt out!! I now am taking time out and putting things into order and will start back readings next week, but have cut them so far back i will only do one or two a week!! Some weeks i will do none I am making room for Me!! Hopefully you all have understood Othila. I will post up the next Rune soon. Maybe someone could put up another weekly rune in the meantime.

URUZ
Uruz is the Rune of gathered Strength after coming from a dark time. Alphabetical letter U
Upright Uruz looks like an upside down U
Imagine this as a gateway, look into the gateway that is where you have just come from or are in , a dark tunnel of alsorts of events. Uruz suggests you wanting to stand on the outside of this big tunnel in a field of open green pastures, Resting and gathering back all your thoughts. You have certainly gathered quite a bit of strength . Uruz is quite like the Death and Strength Tarot cards combined. It denotes a transition, an awakening from a dark passage, It also says from this dark passage you have gathered your strength. Sometimes it may mean you need to enter this dark passage to gather the insight you are seeking, Enter the darkness to understand your path. Either way whether you need to enter the passage or you have just emerged, You have the Strength to conquer any task you are facing. Sometimes wisdom comes from events disguised as loss, Honour your path.
We all have been in the darkness at some stage in our lives, When we emerged we had gathered quite a bit of wisdom, More worldly, experienced and become a better person from it, This is what Uruz talks about the Darkness, Honour it, Embrace it. You have the Strength.
This is a poem I thought really depicted the path of Uruz.
I AM THE LONELY WARRIOR.
I am the lonely warrior Searching, Sifting and Learning my Path. A PAth no-body else can take and leave the footprints I make... Over the pebbles, rocks and boulders I go.
At times I stumble trip or fall And sometimes it feels like a race The path that was just made for me, I must learn to Embrace. For there is only me , I really have to chase. One day I will learn to honour my path Love everthing within. And No longer be, The Lonely Warrior But the warrior who is content just by being ME.
by Donna Lee Imagines Copyright 1995.
Enjoy discovering Uruz.

Now I'm going to confuse you here. I have been searching the internet for more insight on Othila. I have come accross another meaning to the Rune.. Home !! Yes. for those into Astrology, Othila has much in common with the 4th House: Home, Our roots, Traditional values, where we feel safe (sometimes too much), Patriotism,...

PERTH
Something hidden, Something Secret
This Rune is to do with things that are beyond our manipulative Powers, Its ways are Mystical and Secret. It is not for us to ask Why or try to pry whether you could have prevented things. This is a Rune of sitting back and Observing, Be the fly on the wall. Look at a situation from above and see the broader version of it all. What is happening here, is, Your shift in awareness. It does not matter about the external events what is most important is what is happening on the inside of you. Your growth from this situation and the ability to look at something differently... If you need to let go to gain this renewal of spirit do it.. Because the main most important thing at stake here is your renewal of spirit.

NAUTHIZ
Constraint Necessity Pain
Nauthiz is to do will Adversity both Within and Surrounding us. Both are equally difficult. One if the biggest tasks here is to recognise where it is all coming from and heal, and sometimes this healing may need outside help from a professional.We all have a Cross to bare that needs healing. In times of wanting to move forward, there will be delays, There is work to be done on self, Consider your plans carefully. Take it on board will a light heart, and perservere. It is time to pay off old debts, restore and gather a balance in your life, you may not acheive haromony but a little at a time is all you need at this time. If your inner healing is not of a serious nature. Examine what is causing the disharmony in your life, Whether it be internal or external, Ask this question is there something in your nature that attracts disharmony, Do not take it all personally, reevaluate your attutude towards a certain experience or person and approach it with a lighter heart and laughter. It will all soon turn around for you to move in the direction you want.

INGUZ
Fertility New beginings
A lovely Rune to follow Nauthiz. This is a rune of a new path, On your new path you are looking for similarities, a yearn to be desired, Harmonising in our personal Relationships. This rune may mark a new life, deliverance, a newpath. receiving this Rune is saying you have gathered your strength from Nauthiz and are ready to move forward and things are moving forward for you. You need to shed away what you need to.... to complete the balance and start acheiving harmony in your life. Free yourself from unwanted influences... see your experience with laughter, humour and open yourself up to accept your life and trust in your future relinquishing control.It can only get better from here.
This is most certainly a very Positive time in someones life.

You know i feel an interest in Runes, will try to make them somehow.
Also i will need to take one day and read through all what is written here about them, thanks Dancing Bear!
A question...what is Blank Rune What is it's meaning and why it is called blank rune. I am quite new to this. Sorry if it is explained there, but i just skipped over the text to know what to read.
Suggestion...maybe make this one a sticky post, for it not to get carried over. I think so because it gives the meaning of runes and so on.

The blank Rune also known as wyrd and odin himself. It represents the unknowable. If you ask a question and your draw Blank Rune, You are not meant to know the answer, because what is about to happen is not within your control and it is meant to be for the growth of the Soul.. Sit back and enjoy the journey. Welcome aboard, will be nice to have someone else join us.. As you can see we all are rather busy and this thread is moving along slowly, But it will not stop until we cover all the runes.. At the moment i am working on gathering information about Bind runes which has been very interesting.. I will post up soon about these.

Wyrd was added to the runes in the 1980's and is not considered part of the original runes read by our ancestors. Some people do not use it because of this but some do use it. It is a personal decision.

Bind RunesYou can draw any bind rune on a piece of paper and place it under your pillow to draw its strenght while you sleep or placed anywhere you feel it needs to be. You can alternatevely use wood or stone and draw you bind rune on a n make a necklace and where you Bind Rune at all times. I wore Geofu for quite sometime. and Inguz on a ring.. Bind runes are a combination of Runes to make a Symbol Of Power as the Vikings did.. Upon their sheilds of war some used Tiewaz, Our Warrior Rune Others used a Combination of Tiewaz and Uruz, Warrior and Strength. You can put your bind Rune together any which way you choose.. There are no certain ways to do it.. the examples I give have been found Engraved in stone, wood or upon homes. They have already been used and made up by someone else. But nothing is stopping you from making your own combination and new meanings to them.. Fertility Bind Runewe have a few fertility runes . we have geofu, Inguz and berkano. If we put them together. Geofu the viking Rune of creative giving, loving relationships, It becomes Inguz when we intensify the meaning (double it) Fertiltiy meaning for the land as well as actual. if we now add Berkana our rune of Mother goddess It completes the Runic Holy trinity. Inguz the Father, Beor Mother and gofu the union. We have Thurisaz (thor, thorn) Which incorporates the two thorns of life and death with Thor's hammer between them. "between life and Death may my estate increase and prosper" This looks like thor Upright and reversed points touching. Or anyway you choose. Here are few Links on bind runes they are interesting to read and one has a few more bind rune combinations and another gives you the catagories you put the runes in to create your bind runes. Have Fun!! wolfmoongrove.com/Rune%20Info%20Pages/Rune_bind_runes.htmatschool.eduweb.co.uk/pbrough/stav/bindrune.htmwww.earth-dancing.com/bindrunes.htm

EIHWAZ
Defense and Avertive Powers
Eihwaz councils that we are always coming up against blockages in our path.. This is another time!! Eihwaz councils so actually see these blockages as a good thing as there could be something else we are meant to be doing instead.. Maybe it is a time to say slow down take a break and think about things before going ahead with things.. A mark of a profound person is to think through actions and their consequenses before moving forwards..
This is a time to get yourself, house and thoughts together and wait on the will of heaven.. allow it to be , be patient, all will come that is meant to be..

ALGIZ
Protection, The ELK
Emotions are linked to this Rune.. to control them and not dive deep into tthema nd then be led by them.. This is a Rune of transition, the times that come with healing, and Emotions are running high...Try not to convert sadness into anger, try not blame others for all of your emotions.. we choose our experiences through our perception. Do not escape from life by denying it is happening..
You WILL progress!! Knowing this is your Protection.. The Elk is Stamina, You have the Stamina to go the miles with this even though you may feel emotionally drained. Elk can run and run for miles, Mountain Lions do not tire easily but Elk can always pace himself and outlast everytime..

FEHU
Possessions , Nourishment and cattle
You possess fulfilment, Love, satisfaction. You have made choices to get here, now you must make a choice and decide what is profit and gain to you? Is it self -rule and the growth of your will or is it possessions and wealth you are after?
Enjoy your good fortune and remember to share.. A well nourished self is the willingness to nourish others.
Cattle is the symbol of Wealth in the times Runes were widely used.. this is probably why it is associated to this Rune.

WUNJO
Joy and Light
This Rune is a Rune that says it is time to celebrate for some reason. You have come to a realisation , a shift that has been due,you have come to a heightened sense to something.
Wunjo is the joyous moment when the soul is aligned with spirit giving you the sense of self being fully aware and having a new clarity and self being fully aligned with self..
