Nah, I tried to put my wand there for scaleā¦ But it doesnāt really help.
@starborn Itās a pretty wand too.
Beautiful!
It looks very pretty and Iām sure it sounds divine! Enjoy your lovely new bell, @starborn!
I love that wand thatās badass.ehats the symbol on the base?
I like the color of the bell and the etching inside. You know Iād love the story on the two tones. Sick sick sick rock on the story takes the cake
Itās got a few runes on it. Iām going to take the meanings from here: Rune Meanings ā Spells8
The one you see is dagaz (į), for awakening, clarity, consciousness, balance, and growth.
Then thereās kauna (į²), for enlightenment, insight, knowledge, and calling.
And the last one is thurisaz (į¦), for challenges, danger, protection, strength, and attacks.
I talk about the wand more here:
@starborn Iāve been trying to dismiss these thoughts, but I think Loki wants to add his opinion on the runes, so here goes, sorry
This is the most positive of all the runes. Any problems or fears will be resolved or no longer be of importance. This rune is never negative but represents hope, success, comfort and joy. Dag symbolises that everything becomes clear in the end.
In relation to magic (your wand), Dag can be used to get rid of fear, turning monsters into flowers. Itās imbues power and positive energy into everything it touches.
The torch. Bringing light and understanding into darkness, you can discover things, secrets are exposed. It can also bring ideas to life.
In magic: Brings clarity to a spell/situation allowing you to see the solution. A very strong rune for spiritual practice, good in meditation and working with fire (obviously Lokiās).
Devil, Thor. Protection. Interesting, it represents Thor and the Jotuns, protection gods and demons. Here using the power of Thor anything can be overcome but patience and caution may be required. Thought and planning are needed. A protector from evil and negative energy/people.
In magic a good talisman for protection and safety, a powerful ward and good luck. Not a great rune for health related spells, on its own.
So your wand is imbued with positivity, success and happiness and the ability to turn everything to your will. It is a torch shining a light in the darkness and great for fire spells, and creating new ideas. A powerful protector and talisman, despite Thorās rune not being a health rune, the fact you have both Dag and Kaun can change this, bringing in Thorās power into any spell.
There, now Loki will leave me alone If youāre curious of alternative meanings to runes, I get alot from these books:
The Runes A grounding in Northern Magic by James Flowerdew
Wild Soul Runes Reawakening the Ancestral Feminine by Lara Veleda Vesta
Ah, finally! Iāve been trying to find my way back to this reply since I realised I never actually replied.
Thank you for explaining all of these more in-depth and in relation to their use in a wand! I really appreciate it.
Iād had it custom-made for me with guidance from both Hekate and Lilith. The creator said it may take awhile, but once I ordered, she said they quickly put her to work.
I will have to find copies. Thank you.
@starborn Oh fabulous, Iād forgotten Iād written this . Your wand is lovely. Must be nice to have a custom made one. Wow!
I donāt use my wand, canāt gel with it. Itās nice, and Iāve used it a couple times, but IDK, not a wandy person I guess lol
Overview of the books as these are ones for paper copies (in my opinion) as theyāre like courses, which is pricier
The Wild Soul Runes.
This is a very earthy, holistic way of teaching the runes, it also connects you to ancestors and shadow works with runes, itās quite lovely. It feels like it has Norn energy through it, if that makes sense.
The Runes Northern Magic.
This is more academic but also delves into Norse Mysticism, I use this one all the time for reference and am still working through the course, it has runic spell work too (light/dark).
Both books I hope, once mastered, will aid my practice to use runes more than tarot and in magic and spirit meditation. Theyāre very different from usual rune books and use different names for the runes too.
Anyways, thereās my review
I managed to find this one easily enough. The table of contents looks great!
I noticed this in some other places, too. It was making it very confusing/difficult for me to easily look up the ones I wanted to understand! But I imagine it gets easier with time.
If you start one of the courses, let me know how you get on. I find these books have helped me the most to get my head around the runes.
I found the wild soul runes on ebay for about $7
