PERTHRO

(pair-throh)

MEANING: unknown

KEYWORDS: mystery, secret, chance, initiation, something hidden

Powerful forces of change are spoken of here. Yet what is achieved is not easily or readily shared. After all, becoming whole – the means of it – is a profound secret.

Of all the runes, this one is the most mysterious, perhaps next to Eihwaz before it, because Perthro deals with the mysteries within the runes themselves and the birth of the universe. On one hand, this allows you to intuit original knowledge about the runes that may have been suppressed, destroyed, or incompletely passed on over the centuries. On the other hand, the ‘how to’ techniques are less defined than with other runes, for we are dealing with fundamental mysteries of the universe.

Orlog plays out as the consequences of the cosmic and primal laws themselves unfold from the beginning of the universe until the end. All patterns are interdependent and interwoven, throughout all existence.

The proper relationship between Perthro and Nauthiz is that Perthro allows you to become aware of the hidden and relatively fixed workings of the deep law of cause and effect, which in turn give us the ability to see into the unmanifest and peer into the unknown. This is wyrd and lay within our influence if we have knowledge of how our personal fate can be manipulated. Nauthiz helps you get around the workings of orlog, using the forces of resistance to change the direction of the flow of wyrd. Together, these two runes govern the magic of ‘the Wyrding Way’.

All the records of all events are stored here, so Perthro’s power helps the recollection of knowledge that is hidden within the collective unconscious of humankind, especially human lore lost over the course of the centuries. The same process is responsible for prophecy. Perthro will assist the birthing of a great idea into your environment by raising awareness of the forces arrayed against its manifestation. Co-incidence and deja vu play an enormous role in the recognition of the fundamentals of this rune.

On the earthly side of things, there will be surprises, gains, or rewards that you did not anticipate. On the side of human nature, this rune is symbolized by the flight of the eagle, lifting itself from the ebb and flow of ordinary

This rune is concerned with the deepest stratum of your being, the bedrock on which your destiny is founded. Let go of everything – no expectations, no exceptions, no exclusions.

If you have been wrestling with a situation this rune may be signaling a need to go within to find your answer. Clearing your mind allows the space for the answer you are seeking. Trust in the unknown to find your answer

Magical Uses: Perthro for divination, health and healing, and spiritual clarity
