Perthro

Completely forgot it was a new month so i didnt start this until the evening. So im a bit late.

•~Elm~• energizes the mind and balances the heart. It attracts love, protects, and aids in sharpening psychic powers

[jackalopewitch]

I pulled Perthro ( ᛈ ) today when asking Draco about how to deal with conflict and I’m still trying to figure it out.

Perthro is commonly thought of as the “gambling cup” or meaning luck, while some people think it means the unknown or destiny.

Dealing with conflict? Let’s hope luck is the one on my side.

Hávamál, Stanza 56:

A measure of wisdom each man shall have,

But never too much let him know;

Let no man the fate before him see,

For so is he freest from sorrow.

Good morning, friends! This week's rune is Perthro (reversed)!

Perthro is associated with the unknown, fate, luck, divination, good omens, mysteries, and birth. Perthro reversed implies that if you are taking a risk over the next week, the lots will likely not fall in your favor. If you have been suspecting something has been going on "behind your back", you may receive confirmation in the coming days. Perthro is also a keeper and revealer of secrets, so take additional precautions if you have been playing your cards close to your chest in a certain situation.

Reading runes: tips for beginners

Hi folks! When beginners start investigating rune-reading, they typically see two things: posts reiterating that runes had no historical basis in divination and posts dictating what each rune always means.

While the former is true, it doesn't negate the power of letting the divine speak to you through channels you understand--whether you use playing cards, tarot, runes, or other signs to interpret these messages. And while runes each carry their own meaning(s), these meanings are not fixed but context-sensitive.

Step One: Sitting with the runes

Before you do too much research, I'd advise you to simply sit with the runes and listen to how they feel. Hold one in your hand, visualize one in your mind, chant one's name aloud, or some combination of those techniques. Let images, sounds, smells, and ideas come to you without analysis or critique. This is an initial "getting to know you" meditation meant to be repeated many times throughout your journey, and I'd advise revisiting these meditations even after you feel acquainted with the runes.

Step Two: Researching the runes

Research into historical and linguistic concepts behind the runes may be beneficial. I'd also recommend contemporary research--see how folks use the runes in their practice, whether in divination, creation of bind runes, or other implementations. Know that each individual will have their own relationship with runes, but keep an eye open for inspiration.

Step Three: Questioning the runes

Once you understand how you interpret the runes, it's time to take them for a spin. I advise against very detailed "yes or no" questions and suggest broader, more open-ended questions. Example: instead of "Should I take this job?" ask, "What are qualities in a job that would make me happy?" then see if the offered job reflects those values. Instead of "Does Tyr like it when I offer him a beer?" ask, "What are attributes Tyr values in a devotee?"

Step Four: Throwing the runes

As part of your research phase, I'd suggest looking up different rune spreads to see if any resonate with you. What I do is more random and case-by-case: without looking, I dig my hand into the runes and concentrate on my question. I do this until a rune pops into my hand (or out of the bag) or feels unusually heavy. I'll pull runes without looking until the remaining runes in the bag feel neutral (nothing trying to pop out)--this results in typically 3-5 runes but it varies. I typically don't organize the runes or pull with any spread in mind, but rather leave them where they fall (from the bag or my palm).

Step Five: Interpreting the runes

Sit back, take deep breaths, and remember to view the spread as a whole. Each rune is in communication with the others.

I interpret the runes' placement to indicate their relationships with one another. For example, if I throw a Berkano, Perthro, and Elhaz, but the Perthro and Elhaz are on top of each other, I'll analyze them as a pair. So I would analyze Berkano on its own, the relationship between Perthro and Elhaz, and then the larger relationship between all three. Yes, it is 100% okay to refer back to notes you've taken!

In my experience, the most important thing to remember is: reading the runes requires a great deal of self-honesty and inner reflection, bravery to hear tough answers, and humility to let the runes answer questions we didn't know we were asking.

RUNES HISTORY AND FACTS

There are many types of rune systems, including Younger Futhark, Anglo-Frisian Futhorc, Medieval runes, and Elder Futhark, which are the ones I’ll be talking about.

The Younger Futhark (long twig) has 16 runes and is typically used in translation with Old Norse. It was used in Scandinavia during the Viking Age, from 800 A.D to 1200 A.D.

Then you have Anglo-Frisian (Frisian being Dutch), which had around 30 runes and was used in Britain. It’s also known as Anglo-Frisian Futhorc.

The latest and closest to us is the Medieval Runes, which fall back into a 24 system (like Elder Futhark) with the Roman/Latin alphabet, which is also used in translation to Old Norse.

Finally, the Rune system we’re talking about is the Elder Futhark used in a 24-rune system and is used to translate proto-European languages (proto-Germanic, high Italic, proto-English, etc, NOT Old Norse!) None of the names of the Elder Futhark have truly been written down; they have come from reconstruction and guesswork from scholars. The names have come from Old English/Gothic sources and the Rune poems that feature names and pieces associated with names.

Norse=Runa English=Rune both meaning “a secret” or “mystery”

Old Norse=Rún Old Irish=Rún Middle Welsh=Rhin “to whisper” “secret” or “mystery”

Scots=Roun “To whisper” or “speak often about one thing”. It’s also associated with the Rowan tree in Scots, which is a very well-known magical tree in many folklores (also known as the “rune tree” or “the whisper tree”).

It was believed the Elder Futhark came from the Rome/Latin alphabet and had ancient Greek relations—due to the closeness of the Germanic tribes there and the mingling of Elder Futhark and High Italic.

The runes were not traditionally used as magical symbols. they were used in divination but were not considered magical themselves until later centuries, far after the Viking Age when they became popular as magical symbols. The furthest back they were found to be used was theorized to be Germania, as typically (but not always) female diviners would “cast lots” which were believed to later influence the Norse people to cast the runes. It was widespread for Norse kings, warlords, and explorers of this time to have a rune caster or diviner with them wherever they traveled. Diviners and Rune Casters at this time were well respected and always welcomed into people's homes.

Then in the myths, we find where Odin discovers the runes and shares them with the other gods. Later the gods share them with humanity. The god Odin stabbed himself with his spear, Gungnir, and hung himself from Yggdrasil for 9 days and nights without food or water sacrificing himself for the runes till they appeared to him in the Well Of Urd. This myth differs depending on the source you found it on. Then in the Havamal 80’ page, 31 of Jackson Crawford's translation of the Poetic Edda (elder edda), it states, “What you ask the runes will prove true; they are gifts of the Aesir, made by the gods and painted by Odin. You’ll learn best with your mouth shut.”

Bind runes

Bind runes are 2 or more runes combined to make one bigger Bindrune. Used historically as a way to shorten up writing or just as a fun way to write, we now use them as stronger versions of runes, or as a way to have many runes together without having to write them all out.

Famous ones, Vegvisir and Aegishjalmaur (Helm of Awe) aren’t runes or bind runes, but instead Sigils that came around centuries after the Viking Age, and were found to be from the 1800s. Vegvisir is a path finder, not a compass. The Helm of Awe is used as a warding symbol but historically wasn’t actually used for anything as far as our sources note.

Good morning! This week's rune is Perthro (reversed).

Perthro is associated with the lot cup, and associated meanings include the unknown, fate, luck, divination, omens, mysteries, and birth. In a way, Perthro reversed is associated with these things as well, except... well... If you are planning on taking a risk (or possibly actually gambling), the lots will likely not fall in your favor. Perthro is also associated with secrets, so some of you will find (or suspect) that something is being hidden from you. There may even be confirmation of this as well. Also, if you have been playing your cards close to your chest, you may want to take some additional precautions because Perthro can indicate the revealing of secrets as well as the keeping of secrets.

Heimdall's Aett

Heimdall’s Aett

The second aett of Heimdall is the aett of the warrior, ever watchful and striving with great courage against overwhelming odds. Concepts such as death, loss and rebirth are represented in the first three runes. The fourth and fifth runes represent the evolution of the spirit from the exploration of the shadow side of ourselves and then of the central mysteries of love. The sixth and seventh…

So, here’s a thing I’m noticing: during the last week or so, there’s been a lot of “doubling” of elements in these readings, symbols repeating between the card and the charms (e.g., in this draw, we have The Emperor in the card itself and in the charms — the Pharoah charm represents the Emperor in Carrie Paris’s outstanding Tarot Talismans) or the runes repeating themselves (e.g., we’ve seen Perthro a few times this week). And then two days ago the Scales of Justice charm appeared twice in the same reading. What does that mean, exactly? And how does it apply to what we see today? Well, here’s how I see it: emphasis added. The Powers are getting loud as we approach Samhain in the Northern Hemisphere and Beltane down under. We’re here, They say. We’re with you. The Powers are pressing in around us because something important is coming. Now, here’s another thing: when I pulled the charms out of my charms box for today, the Wishing Well charm was *inside* the Bullet Shell Casing. The two are inextricably linked right now: wishing is dangerous. Don’t just rely on wishes. Make real steps toward what you want. Work on it. Let the magical thinking ground itself in your daily to-do list. What will appear are gifts of love and magic, and of agency too. We just have to take command of our armies (our resources) and get moving toward our goals.

Sorry, I got no propaganda for them yet :(

Perthro Fam:

Oh my god these idiots…. I love them so much. Blitz and Hearth (basically married) go to this wish-fulfilling god who takes them into employment and orders them to watch this homeless kid Magnus who just lost his mom bc he’s the chosen one or whatever. They have to make sure he doesn’t die. Anyway they spend two years pretending to be homeless and watching over Magnus and eventually they become really close, until Magnus dies (oops) and it’s revealed to him in the afterlife that they’re been lying to him this whole time and Blitz is a dwarf and Hearth is an elf. Instead of going for the usual “you lied to me! I can’t trust you anymore!1!” Magnus just… accepts it, and they continue to aid him on shenanigans in the afterlife alongside the awesome Samirah. The four of them go on a (basically illegal) quest to like stop the world from ending and they get so close like they learn that Blitz’s dad died when he was young and he was like the only one who truly understood him until he met Hearth, Hearth reveals to them that he comes from an abusive home (but like so bad I nominated this guy for the worst dad tournament. He treated his son like shit for being death and blaimed his brother’s death on him made him pay the blood debt etc etc) and that Blitzen saved his life and then MAGNUS tells them that losing HIS mom was really traumatic for him, especially since he fled the scene and was considered a suspect for her death, and we learn that Samirah has been bullied her whole life for being Muslim and because her mom (also dead) wasn’t married. Anyway Hearth is learning magic or whatever and his rune of choice is the perthro (hence the name) which signifies an empty cup, or hollowing oneself out to be filled with happiness and near the end Magnus calls them all his family of empty cups… it’s very emotional and I go batshit every time I read it. I am so sorry for making you read this

most of them are undead and are all chaotically aligned
