I don't know that much about runes but I am able to identify them from a glance (there was a very prominent phase in my life as a child) and that came in useful a few weeks ago. I had a dream where I was coming out of a circus fair ground (that bits irrelevant I think) to come to the little turn pike where only one person can leave at a time.
Before I got to the turn pike a blond woman with piercing blue eyes stopped me and held out her hand for something. She kept saying a word 'Ragard' (which was pronounced with a Spanish/Portugese accent - Rah-gaarr-d) and my mind's eye kept flashing the rune for Raido (the 'R') but it was purple on a black background and it was reversed.
I was woken up by someone so I don't know what would've happened next. The next day I researched into Norse goddesses again and wrote down them all to try and pin point who would give me an awakening. But nothing came from it, there's not been another dream since. I tried looking to my tarot to help but I am at a loss.
Any guidance would be wonderful, thank you in advance!
from my knowledge of "reverse runes" is to lay a curse or a hex upon someone or the situation I maybe wrong or right but my experiences had similarities too i would suggest a cleansing bath and do what makes you comfortable and have a against the evil eye amulet or stone you could craft of protection from any kind of harm against you that's what i would do.
Given the time I've had since having the dream I wouldn't be surprised if someone actually had hexed me. Thank you Pearl, I'll give it a go tonight
I understand where you're coming from be safe and thank you.
Meghan I think the circus fair could be relevant. Has Thier been time in your life that was filled with chaotic events? Circus to me contains lots of dangerous but enthralling things
The turn table, leaving this time. Do you have to make a decision that look like it has only one outcome?
The lady. Raidho is journey yes, could it be the end of a journey? A forth coming time that needs your attention?
How did you feel when you woke up?
Cleanse if you think you need to
Protection spell maybe. If you think someone has wished bad on you. Counteract it with blessing them.
Blessed be
Um, funny that you should ask about chaotic events. The past 4 years of my life have been a string of chaos, which is putting it mildly. The chaos started just before I started university (there was some family troubles and health issues and my Deity-forsaken A-levels) and then I finished university in May of this year. The end of the journey could be signifying that end possibly?
The thing about waking up, my mother woke me up so I felt like I was being wrenched out of the dream, leaving me in a state of confusion until I researched into the Goddesses that night.
The thing that strikes me though is, you mentioned the turn tables and the concept of ending a journey. Would the woman who stopped me signify that something is preventing me from moving on from this branch of chaos? Or is it telling me that the chaos isn't over yet, like 'the turn tables won't allow you to leave'.
Thank you for your insight Violet, it helps put things into perspective a lot more. I've been thinking about it since I've had the dream and you've helped me get a little further.
Bless you Megan, it might be worth looking up the colours you mentioned: black and purple as colour carries meaning.
If it was me, I would maybe do a rune casting or a tarot card spread to ask for clarification. I also write my dreams down in a journal and ask the divine for the meaning. If there is a message you need to hear, I think you can still recieve it.
being that the runes and their energy have been around so long I would combat it with something from the same realm, something from the world of galdr or sedir if you like chanting would do (Icelandic folk magik) first a protection rune, then use one that returns all sending's, then finally you can use the one that gives deeper investigation while sleeping, or be it the proper time of year to find ingredients, I would undergo an altered states type ritual to contact odhinn directly to find an answer seeing as he I the one that gave his eye for such knowledge and power in the first place
