Do not expect too much. Perthro wants you to call on all your scattered energies and concentrate on your own life at this time. Perthro also warns against dwelling in the Past or Future too much. By doing so, you are robbing yourself of the present. Remember to persevere. In doing so you strengthen your character and the inner-self.

Saturn Day Interpretation

The Three Rune Spread

https://sites.google.com/site/themindofguido/runic-spreads/three-rune-spread?pli=1

The number 'three.' figures prominently in the divinatory practices of the ancients. The Three Rune Spread which, according to Tacitus, was already in use 2,000 years ago, is satisfactory for all but the most extended and intricate readings.

With an issue clearly in mind, select three Runes, one at a time, and place them, in order of selection, from right to left.

Once you have selected the Runes, they will lie before you in this fashion, reading from the right:

1. The first Rune speaks to the Situation as it is.

This is a time of disruption, of chaos. But realize that nothing moves forward unless it is on the edge. The coming of change is not external, but internal. Be watchful (Heimdall) and accept the disruption with the realization that positive change is in the works.

2. The second Rune (center) suggests the course of action called for.

Again, Heimdall is calling for watchfulness. Be aware that this disruption can lead to a desire to draw back, to retreat. Realize that it is not a withdrawal of fear, but a centering of the Self.

3. The third Rune (on the left) indicates the New situation that will evolve, after you have successfully met your challenge.

You have met your challenge, and are better for it.

There is a mild indication that a message, and an indication of change is present. And the readiness that comes with it.

Tyr

https://sites.google.com/site/themindofguido/chapter-6/tyr-s-aett-1

The Ættir indicate watchfulness, being aware that change is in the air. It is right and correct, but difficult (as all change is). The outcome can only be for the good, the right, the just.  

Frey Day

Aspect: Murkstave

A completion, ending, limit, coming full circle. 

Do not collapse yourself into the future, which is reckless.

Odin's Quest for the Runes

https://sites.google.com/site/themindofguido/the-havamal/odin-s-quest-after-the-runes-verses-137-144

The Words of Odin the High One
from the Elder or Poetic Edda
(Sæmund's Edda)
translated by Olive Bray
and edited by
D. L. Ashliman

137.
I trow I hung on that windy Tree
nine whole days and nights,
stabbed with a spear, offered to Odin,
myself to mine own self given,
high on that Tree of which none hath heard
from what roots it rises to heaven.

138.
None refreshed me ever with food or drink,
I peered right down in the deep;
crying aloud I lifted the Runes
then back I fell from thence.

139.
Nine mighty songs I learned from the great
son of Bale-thorn, Bestla's sire;
I drank a measure of the wondrous Mead,
with the Soulstirrer's drops I was showered.

140.
Ere long I bare fruit, and throve full well,
I grew and waxed in wisdom;
word following word, I found me words,
deed following deed, I wrought deeds.

141.
Hidden Runes shalt thou seek and interpreted signs,
many symbols of might and power,
by the great Singer painted, by the high Powers fashioned,
graved by the Utterer of gods.

142.
For gods graved Odin, for elves graved Daïn,
Dvalin the Dallier for dwarfs,
All-wise for Jötuns, and I, of myself,
graved some for the sons of men.

143.
Dost know how to write, dost know how to read,
dost know how to paint, dost know how to prove,
dost know how to ask, dost know how to offer,
dost know how to send, dost know how to spend?

144.
Better ask for too little than offer too much,
like the gift should be the boon;
better not to send than to overspend.
........
Thus Odin graved ere the world began;
Then he rose from the deep, and came again.

Wotan's Day

Rune: Sowilo

https://sites.google.com/site/themindofguido/chapter-8-the-elder-futhark/heimdall-s-aett/8-sowilo

Ætt: Heimdall

https://sites.google.com/site/themindofguido/chapter-6/frey-s-aett-1

Aspect: Reversed

https://sites.google.com/site/themindofguido/chapter-8-the-elder-futhark/heimdall-s-aett/8-sowilo/reversed

Although this Rune has no Reversed position, there is reason for caution. You may see fit to withdraw, to retreat in the face of a pressing situation, especially if events or people are demanding that you expend your energy now. Know that such a retreat is a retreat in strength, and that it can indicate the need for a voyage inward for centering, for balance. Timely retreat is among the skills of the Spiritual Warrior.
