Elven runes
Vill-ya (veel-yah) is the rune representing the basic element Air and is a powerful and forceful influence. When Vill-ya appears focus on the most fundamental parts of the Self. Who you are, what you believe, what your history tells you, what you have learned, what you know and don’t know, what your senses tell you, what past experiences relate to the situation. In other words, be introspective, who you are, at your core, is either being reinforced or challenged and, therefore, you must be honest with yourself in your considerations. Air knows you more intimately than any other element and you cannot trick it or put it off, it knows you too well. Trust in the wisdom you have gained over time and use the power of your mind and soul to find the right path.

Hena (Hee-na) is the royal Air rune representing the energies of the innocent child. When Hena appears it suggests that a simple view of the world is necessary to proceed effectively. The solitary line that symbolizes Hena represents the straight and focused path. Like a Child, ever curious and experiencing things alone and for the first time, avoid distractions that might alter your path and focus. A fresh view, one that isn’t being influenced by experience, is the approach you need to embrace. Approach the challenge with the unbiased curiosity and wonder any Child brings to experiencing something they have not seen, or do not know, yet desperately feel compelled to explore. This can mean putting aside fear, needing to touch, taste or feel the item in focus, or gingerly experimenting with it in some way…blowing on it, rattling it, shaking it, etc., in attempts to determine what it is, or what it does. Air has the ability to go all around and sometimes through things, experiencing an object from all sides when it appears on the path. So, too, should you be willing to fully explore the situation or challenge you face with the intent of understanding it in such an innocent and unbiased fashion. Hena also represents the idea of experiencing something for the first time and, therefore, is a critical first step on the path to learning, the beginning of developing the library of experience that will bring knowledge and, eventually, wisdom to the Self. Approaching things with erroneous preconceptions makes learning about those things more difficult, and that is the message Hena brings. Something new is to be learned here before moving further down the path. The appearance of Hena can also mean that a person possessing the qualities of the Child has entered your life, or is about to, in direct association with the challenge or issue you face. If such a person appears, pay attention to the focus they bring (or have already brought) to the situation as they may be here to help you see it more clearly, point out the item that needs a fresh look, or be the source of the challenge. The appearance of Hena can also be a powerful suggestion that you are currently in possession of the power of the Child, soon will be, or that embodying that energy is necessary to proceed effectively.

Randi’ (Raun-dee) is the royal Air rune representing the energies of the Wanderer or explorer. When Randi’ appears focus on the adventurous spirit within you to find the correct path. The crossroads that symbolize Randi’ represent the many unknown paths available to us in life. The Wanderer is in search of knowledge, and is eager to find the new places, experiences, and perspectives that can only be found by exploring these unknown paths. The Wanderer seeks these new things out rather than waiting for them to appear in the road by chance. The challenge you face requires that you search out knowledge and hold on to whatever it is that you find at the end of the path, or along the way. You must find the knowledge, it will not come to you. Like Air, the Wanderer is willing to go in whichever direction knowledge might be found, seeking it out and seeing it first hand. So, too, must you seek and find because the knowledge you need is not here, but is available if you are willing to go find it and make it your own. Randi’ represents the curiosity of the human spirit, the need to know more than what is obvious and already understood. It is the education of your life, the amassing of knowledge that, once obtained, leads to more knowledge and, eventually, wisdom. The Wanderer is the Child growing up, learning and thriving by adding complexity and dimensions to the body and soul. Armed with the fundamental knowledge of the Child, the spirit of the Wanderer can only be satisfied by better understanding the world. Seek and learn, amass the knowledge necessary to correctly choose the next path. The appearance of Randi’ can also mean that a person possessing the qualities of the Wanderer has entered your life, or is about to, in direct association with the challenge or issue you face. If such a person appears, pay attention to the focus they bring (or have already brought) to the situation as they may be here to help you see an overlooked path, help you choose a path with promise, or be the obstacle blocking a path. The appearance of Randi’ can also be a powerful suggestion that you are currently in possession of the power of the Wanderer, soon will be, or that embodying that energy is necessary to proceed effectively.

Nolder is the royal Air rune representing the energies of the Sage. When Nolder appears focus on tapping the wisdom of experience to find the correct path. The crossroads pointing in each direction of the compass that symbolize Nolder represent the experience and knowledge gained by traveling the many paths of life. The Sage possesses the kind of complex knowledge and wisdom one can only gain from traveling down many roads during the course of a lifetime. The Sage has learned how to learn, how to seek knowledge, and now possesses the ability to combine that knowledge into something larger than the sum of the parts. The experience of the Sage can see where a path leads before it is embarked upon, can see when a path is becoming (or has become) dangerous, and has the intuition to determine a path with promise when confronted with the possibilities of many paths from which to choose. Like the Air, the Sage has many paths available to take to any destination and will often avoid troublesome paths in order to achieve reaching the end of the path safely, or to ensure the end of the journey is reached. When necessary, the Sage can take even troublesome paths and overcome the obstacles presented by virtue of the experience gained from confronting similar obstacles on previous paths. The Sage accomplishes much by carefully looking for, and understanding, the context within which any path lies, for it is the context of the situation, the nuances on the road, the items presented along the way, from which the Sage develops actions. The Sage is unsurpassed in reading the signs of success and danger and is a clever and resourceful strategist. We all hope to attain the level of wisdom found in the Sage but often come up short because we allow something other than our knowledge (and what is definitely known) to be influenced by the desire to see things as we want them to be, rather than acknowledging them for what they are. See clearly, remember truthfully, and apply your knowledge to find the correct path. The appearance of Nolder can also mean that a person possessing the qualities of the Sage has entered your life, or is about to, in direct association with the challenge or issue you face. If such a person appears, pay attention to the focus they bring (or have already brought) to the situation as they may be here to help you better understand the paths you must choose from, help you choose a safe path, or be hiding a path from your view. The appearance of Nolder can also be a powerful suggestion that the you are currently in possession of the power of the Sage, soon will be, or that embodying that energy is necessary to proceed effectively.

Kerim (keh-reem) is the symbolic rune representing strength. There is significant strength behind the current situation to achieve a satisfying result. Not only is there strength, but that strength is in full view and should be recognized, or is already being recognized, for what it is. Kerim could mean that strength needs to be asserted, recognized, defended against, even overcome. Regardless, the issue or situation has weight behind it that will overcome and resist simple (feeble) efforts to block it. You possess a position of strength in the situation and those strengths should be sufficient to provide a good result. If you are clear on what strengths you possess, and apply them, your efforts will find success. The correct path finds the wind at your back.
*Kerim (keh-reem) is the symbolic rune representing strength. There is currently sufficient strength available to successfully address the task or situation. In reverse, Kerim indicates that strength must be drawn from the situation rather than applied to it. This suggests that the strengths necessary to address the situation are not in full view, though their presence is undeniable. Therefore, when discovered, these strengths, might be underestimated or not recognized for what they are by others. You currently have a heightened ability to develop strength in a situation and should take advantage of this skill while you possess it. You need to discover where the strength within the situation lies (from another, from a tool, from the environment, etc.), and direct it effectively, before a good result can be achieved. The correct path is not the obvious path.
---
Nint-ta (neen-tah) is the symbolic rune representing reflection. Reflective energies are required to address the task or situation. The reflection may be a simple mirror and resemble something from your past, which would indicate that this situation might be addressed in a manner similar to another (strategy, perspective, caution, assertiveness, etc.). If this is the case, you must fully consider and understand the situation, paying close attention to the details and context within which the issue lies. Should your understanding be incomplete the full reflection may be misinterpreted and action taken with this poor perspective will likely end in an unsatisfactory result. Reflection may also mean you need to look deeply within the Self to gain the proper perspective to achieve a successful result. If this is the case, the situation is likely quite complex and demands careful and complete analysis…anything less will result in failure. In either case, fully reflecting on any situation, or on the Self, requires time, focus, and an uncompromising willingness to accept the truth. Reflect until the truth emerges, only then will a positive result be possible. Do not take the path until you know where it leads.
----
Charasil (kar-uh-seel) is the symbolic rune representing truth. The truth has emerged or is emerging, move towards it to achieve success or before continuing down the path. The momentum of the situation has placed the truth in front of you and it is now time for you to follow that truth. If you cannot yet see it, stay alert for it will appear soon and you must be ready to embrace it. If you are currently focused on the path, examine the path to find the truth; if you are currently focused on the Self, look within to find the truth; if you are currently focused on the world, look at the environment to find the truth; if you are currently focused on another, look to them to find the truth. Knowing the truth can set you free, however, freedom is not always what you might expect. Finding and embracing the truth is necessary for your journey to continue. Find and follow the path truth presents.
---
Minra (Meen-rah) is the symbolic rune representing a path. The correct path is currently available for the journey. The path to move forward is clear but might not be completely visible, or straightforward. Do not waste time or energy on developing a path, or creating a new path, because the correct path already exists and is ready to be taken. Heed the token and begin the journey now or continue on the current path, it is the correct one. The current path is a good path, so trust your moral compass. Minra is a powerful confirmation that you need not fear the path that lies directly ahead. If you cannot see the path, put aside your fears, it lies directly at your feet, and will deliver you to the destination you desire. You are traveling the correct path.
----
Kalassay (cal-oss-say) is the symbolic rune representing clarity. The Self is aligned, its energies stored, and its resolve pure. You are in a heightened state of awareness that is pushing aside the noise of the environment, leaving you unusually able to see and understand all that is around you. Your mind is clear, so pay special attention to all that it perceives. If you perceive a situation in any way, the situation is as you perceive it, so do not hesitate to trust your instincts about the situation, or the path. Feel comfortable speaking your thoughts, sharing your views, or explaining your conclusions because you will bring great insight to any situation at this time. Clarity is a gift of the Self, though often fleeting, and knowing this it should be embraced while you possess it. Clarity often appears when you least expect it so do not ignore what it tells you when it appears on the path. Use the time you have with clarity wisely and learn what you can while it walks the path with you.
----
Godan (go-dahn) is the symbolic rune representing the end. With few exceptions, all things begin and end. Godan is the rune that brings finality to each path in life, but it also brings the promise of a new beginning. When Godan appears you can be certain that some path has been traveled to its conclusion. Godam is sometimes associated with mourning, sometimes with celebration, but always with some mix of emotions that you must accept and incorporate into your reflections of the path just traveled and the implications on your choices for the next path. Godan is merely is a token of finality, and should not be interpreted as anything more than that. The simple line which separates the Godan rune into two parts leaves no room for interpretation, there are two parts, separate from each other, the past and the future are no longer connected on this path. The path has ended, look for a new path.
----
Naer (na-ear) is the rune representing the basic element Fire and is a powerful and forceful influence. When Naer appears focus on the personal power of the Self. What you see as changing or in need of change should be the focus of the situation you are addressing. When Naer appears your personal power and/or convictions are being tested and the test is one of your strength, will, and character, so you must gather these fundamental elements of the Self and create a new path, or transform the one being presented to you. Approach any obstacles with conviction and the strength of your will by addressing the challenges presented without fear, transforming the very nature of the blockage, even destroying the obstacles, if necessary. Do not shy away from the challenge presented, instead, gather the power of the Self then impose it on the situation, it is the only choice. Tests of your character, such as those suggested when Naer appears, require answering with an uncompromising sense of the Self in a way that is strong enough and wise enough to choose the right course if it is available, changing it if it is flawed, or creating a new one if necessary…and this must be accomplished without compromising who you are or what you believe. To find the correct path, know thy Self, be true to thy Self, and engage thy Self.
When Naer (na-ear) appears in reversal it indicates that you may not yet have gathered enough personal power to proceed effectively. The situation you face may directly challenge your convictions and/or power, and require a response, but the time is not yet ripe to proceed, The jumpy and passionate nature of Fire suggests to you that an answer is necessary, and the battle must be drawn, but it is not yet time. Consider the environment of the situation and determine what is influencing the primary challenge and, therefore, must be addressed first. In other words, what do you need to change, transform, or eliminate in the environment before the strength of your will and Self can proceed with conviction? Consider other runes in your cast since one of the most potent weapons of Fire is the ability to transform the other elements. Other Fire related runes in the cast will likely provide focus, while Air, Water, and Earth runes may suggest the element most in need of transforming. Naer in reverse suggests more the preparation for the coming battle than the battle itself. Once the preparation is complete you will have gathered the personal power and circumstances required to achieve your goal. Rushing to battle can create heroes that are remembered, planning battles creates champions that continue on the path.

Matar (mah-tahr) is the royal Fire rune representing the energies of the Warrior. When Matar appears focus on your convictions to find the correct path. The simple, yet somehow intimidating shape that symbolizes Matar suggests the tip of the spear, the sharp edges of a sword, even the shape of a shield and represents the many forms of strength required to travel the paths of life. The Warrior is ready to assert power or stand firmly in defense of any challenge that presents itself. The Warrior is unbending in defending the good, unafraid to take on that which is evil. With furious conviction, the Warrior will defend the principles of good at all costs, and is uncompromising in vanquishing the enemies of what is right and correct. A black and white perspective dominates the Warrior’s desire to serve justice and the Warrior knows only two results: victory and defeat. Like Fire, the Warrior will overwhelm enemies until they are exhausted, destroy them completely if necessary. It is the unrelenting spirit of the Warrior and the conviction attached to that spirit, combined with sheer strength, that provides the Warrior with the power to overcome obstacles, challenges, and foes. Direct, swift, and unrelenting action characterize the offensive tactics of the Warrior, while unyielding stubbornness, deeply held beliefs, and loyalty to the protection of the good, define the defensive motivations of a Warrior with conviction. Combined with the strength and conviction inherent in the Warrior, the ability to swiftly see weakness and exploit it makes the Warrior a most fearful and cunning foe. The skills of the Warrior are many, and formidable when focused, but it is the conviction of the Warrior that lies at the heart of the power the Warrior possesses. The power of the Warrior is often an unnoticed and untapped force until a cause, a belief, or a higher good is threatened, it is then that the Warrior emerges to vanquish the foes of the cause. A Warrior needs a reason, and so armed, can be defeated only at a great cost to those in opposition. Attach yourself to that which is right and good to find the correct path. The appearance of Matar can also mean that a person possessing the qualities of the Warrior has entered your life, or is about to, in direct association with the challenge or issue you face. If such a person appears, pay attention to the principles they bring (or have already brought) to the situation as they may be here to help you focus on what is right, help strengthen your conviction, or be challenging your will. The appearance of Matar can also be a powerful suggestion that you are currently in possession of the power of the Warrior, soon will be, or that embodying that energy is necessary to proceed effectively.
When Matar appears in reversal it indicates that a lack of conviction is depriving you of the power and energy required to correctly address the challenge presented. Set aside thinking that confuses an issue, or acts to make it overly complex. What is right and good is often easy to know, and is often easily found by listening to your heart. Politics, double-meanings, and deception that can hide or distort what one believes must be confronted daily on the paths of life and often the easiest path is to compromise in order to make the way easier. The Warrior, however, does not compromise on what is right and good and neither should you when determining how to proceed. Take note of those things that have weakened your conviction and overcome them. Without conviction, the fight is already lost. To find the correct path, you must believe it is the correct path before taking it. The appearance of a reversed Matar can also mean that a person possessing qualities contrary to those of the Warrior has entered your life, or is about to, in direct association with the challenge or issue you face. If such a person appears, pay attention to the principles, or lack of principles, they bring (or have already brought) to the situation as they may be here to distract your focus on what is right, weaken your conviction, or be attacking your will. The appearance of Matar in reversal can also be a powerful suggestion that you are currently in great need to posses the power of the Warrior, soon will be, or that embodying that energy is necessary to proceed effectively.
