Three Rune Layout: 1 2 3
To
practice Rune casting, I used several Runic layouts – the three, five, and six tile
ones. I did the readings in one week on particular days. (Saturday was the day
of the Norns, Monday – Freya, and Wednesday - Odin.) Focusing on a single
problem, I wanted to see if the answers from these various Gods would differ. I
wanted advice on my conflict with another person in my therapy group for people
with brain injuries.
The
questions I asked for each casting focused on how I could handle this conflict
and to learn from it. Processing strong emotions with an injured brain is
difficult. I often find myself screaming and shaking at small irritating things,
which is normal for people with brain injuries. In my therapy group, my goal is
to learn how to deal with strong emotions in a constructive way.
To
consult the three Norns, I did the Three Rune Layout on Saturday. I asked “What
do I need to do to not react to this person’s provocation.” The first Rune,
“The Root of the Problem,” was Hagalaz,
meaning “chaos, crisis, and sudden change.” The second Rune, “the Present
Situation,” was Eihwaz, “reassess the
situation.” The last tile, “The Most Probable Outcome,” was Mannaz, “the support of the family.” The
Norns were telling me to head off disaster by delaying my reaction, and to instead
seek help from the group. By me asking for the group’s help, we could all learn
about regulating strong emotions.
