#othila rune

[helki-kome]

Tasmanian Tiger is the harbinger of change, the ‘silent one’, the carrier of the deep messages we need to hear.

The Rune symbol for Tasmanian Tiger is ‘Othila’ which strengthens family or group connections. This Rune whispers that this is a time of separating paths. A peeling away is called for, a letting go of the old, a time for retreat. A time for a separation is called for that will free you to become more truly who you are in essence. This is an illusion rune. To receive one only needs to let go and give. Maybe you are being called on to give up your attachments so you can become who you truly are. This is a time for ‘Self’, a time for going within.

~Ann Williams-Fitzgerald

I found this fascinating read about thylacines AND Nordic runes, I’ve been reading the The Poetic Edda more and this definitely is a food for thought.
