I had mentioned in my last blog post that would be pulling one rune a week to learn more about them.My first rune was Perthro, Peorth.A rune of mystery and change.Which was the perfect rune to begin with, I was starting out learning and studying the mysteries of these runes.It was a beginning for me, a beginning full of mystery.
Mannaz - human- Again we have another reversed Rune presenting us with an opportunity to go deeper within. As Mannaz reminds us of the strength in human connection, the power of acting with All That Is, so it's merkstave position calls us to be aware of when we are not connected, when we don't feel part of the greater flow.
