A good Saturday friends. We’re slowly cruising through the weekend. Forcing my own fun and shenanigans. It’s been difficult, but we’re doing it. Speaking of which, todays rune is Reið of the younger futhark, and if this doesn’t signify my forthcoming journeys then I don’t know what does. It’s more then just a vacation. It’s reconnecting with nature (which I’ve been woefully neglecting.) So it’s not just a physical journey but a spiritual one. I have a blót planned for one evening, as well as a day visiting some of the most beautiful waterfalls in my mitten shaped state. One. More. Week.
áš± reið (“ride”) is “ride, journey” and represents growth.
Sound: “râ€
Meaning: Since this rune stands for the act of riding its symbolic meaning is one of a journey. A trip or adventure that we must undertake to further ourselves down a path we have set out on.
Norwegian rune poem **
ᚱ Ræið kveða rossom væsta;
Reginn sló sværðet bæzta.
Translation **
áš± Reidh
Riding is said to be the worst thing for horses;
Reginn forged the finest sword.
