I did a rune cast with just a general, ‘what was my life like as Kidd’ sort of deal. I’m gonna have it below the cut if anyone reads it and has anything they want to add, or say, or feelings they get. <33
South- General Influences- Reversed Kenaz Failure, Loss, End of Passion
West- Obstacles Faced- Thurisaz Protection, Obstacles, Caution, Patience, Defense
North- Favorable Influences- Algiz Protection, Sanctuary, Friendship, Trust, Faith
East- Overall- Ingwaz Latent Energy, Fruition, Goal, Union
Spirit/Center- Long Term- Reversed Mannaz Isolation, Greed, Selfishness, Egocentricity
Algiz is my personal rune. Which I always like to see in any cast I do for myself.
The fact that “Obstacles” came up for “Obstacles” is obnoxious and I need to have a word with the Wyrd about being a smart ass (not really I’m not that rude for goodness sake but really not very insightful)
Ingwaz is usually associated, from what I can tell, with sexual energy. This... I am not sure how I feel about.
I can see how the favorable influences of that life are associated with Algiz. The things that made that life better (most lives for that matter) and also were driving forces were the things Algiz is associated with. Friendship and trust and faith. It might not have been faith in a higher power, but it was faith in The Creed. And faith in my crew. And faith in Kennway, Vane, Hornigold, etc. Faith in my own power and the good I was doing. The friendships which sustained our little Republic.
I can see too how Reversed Kenaz could be the general influences of that life. One does not go out to be a pirate just for the fuck of it after all. There has to be driving forces. Something that pushes one to the sea and then keeps one there. I have a lingering feeling that I couldn’t go back to where I was from even if I wanted to. The Brotherhood, the islands, the Republic, that was my home now.
I don’t know why my long term would have ended up so... negative. Trying to do good. Trying to do right by... well... most people at least. Kill people to free people. Piracy was what it was I suppose. I dunno. That one and Ingwaz trouble me. Not to mention the very unhelpful Thurisaz.
