Secrets of Scandinavian gods. The road of runes #3

      How to read runes? For this, first of all, you need to know the meaning of each specific rune. We will start studying these meaning next week. It should be noted that today the runes are often used in the creation, for example, the drawing of the rune is applied to the product and so on. Therefore, it will not be superfluous to know the meaning of the runes, so as not to get into a funny situation deciding, for example, to make a tattoo. Otherwise it can turn out like in this anecdote.

    In the bus next to the spectacular girl with tattoos almost everywhere, the grandmother stands and with a surprise peers at the tattoo on her neck.

    Young lady: "What, granny, in your time, there were no tattoos? What are you staring at?"

  Grandma: "Everything was in my time, I spent 30 years in Asia, then I taught Chinese at the Academy of Sciences. I just can not understand why you wrote "not to freeze" on your neck".

    It should also be remembered that the meaning of the rune depends on its position. We will separately specify this when we talk about the meaning of each rune. Now we define only general rules.

  We can speak about direct, inverted, background, hidden and basic position of the rune.

    Direct position of the rune means the manifestation of its principle.

  

  The inverted position of the rune speaks of the impossibility or difficulty of manifesting the principle of rune.

  

  The background position of the rune is when the rune falls horizontally. Background runes indicate that their principle will be manifested in the situation by the background (and not by the event, as in cases with the vertical position of the rune). For example, the background FEHU will tell about the importance of material issues, and the background.

    If the rune has laid down the image, this position is called hidden.

    Hidden runes do not manifest themselves openly, but they are present in the situation. These are the forces, people and events that you do not see, although they are present in the situation and influence it.
 

    It also happens that the rune falls on another rune - this position is interpreted so that it is the basis for the event, which is described by the upper rune.
