Runes

A quick thought on Runes. Not much time today, but I wanted to write. I have been exploring runes recently for a couple of reasons. One, I am working on a new tat design and it will be Nordic related as I am half Danish, I wanted something to honor my Danish heritage, which as we all know are the Vikings :)) So, I decided that I wanted some runes incorporated into the tat to give it more meaning and more.... Symbolism. Something that speaks about my life, thoughts, ideals, hopes, etc.
We went to a Wiccan gathering over the weekend - we have been on a journey of discovery - exploring different religions, philosophies and such and had the opportunity to take part in this gathering. It was very interesting and I learned quite a bit - about the Wiccan culture and myself. I'll talk about the gathering another time... I found a book on Runes there and decided to grab it and it really struck me. As I read, it felt... compelling. I was like a sponge. I haven't finished the book, but my tat artist loaned me a book that he found to be phenominal and very faithful to the nordic beliefs and not so much anglisized. So I am delving into two different veiw points into Runes at the same time and it is fascinating! The commonality is the quest for inner knowledge and the connection with our own intuitive nature.
A new journey for me starts and I am looking forward to learning more and more. It is fascinating, fun, intriguing and helps me connect in some way to my ancestors. I'll keep you up to date.
So..... Rune reading anyone??? :))
Never stop striving, never stop learning, never stop experiencing, never stop growing and never stop loving!
