New Etsy update tomorrow, including all of these rune altar coins!

[runesfireink]

Dagaz - a rune of transformation, the dawn, hope, the connection between all things in the universe. A happy and hopeful rune that signifies change is on the way, like a sun rising over the land, creating new light and opportunities.

“Day is Odin’s messenger, dear to men, The Ruler’s glorious light, Mirth and hope to prosperous and poor, Useful to all.” - Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem.

I’ve been thinking about dagaz so much lately, here are two rune altar coins I’ve started. I’ll be painting them this evening!

Runethoughts: Dagaz and Jera

As we enter the new year, I have jera and dagaz on my mind.

Dagaz rune poem:

“Day is Odin’s messenger, dear to men, The Ruler’s glorious light, Mirth and hope to prosperous and poor, Useful to all. “

Today is the first day of the year, a marking of our Earth’s trip around the sun and a time for new beginnings. Dagaz, the rune of light, centers around the change and hope that comes with a new dawn. What will you make of this day?

Jera rune poem:

“Harvest is the hope of men, then the gods, Heaven’s holy Kings, Allows the earth to yield To prince and pauper, glorious fruits.”

Jera, the rune of harvest, is also connected with the sun and cycles of the Earth - it encompasses all of the season and reminds us that a harvest doesn’t just happen. We must be intentional with our planning and actions, plant seeds, and toil in order to reap the benefits. What intentions are you setting for your new year?

The Anglo-Saxon poem for both of these runes mention hope, which is a very important feeling to have at this time. Keep in mind, though, hope doesn’t amount to much if you aren’t willing to work for the outcomes you want. Let’s roll up our sleeves and craft ourselves the year we desire.

I have been quiet over the last few days while I process everything around me. I’m still processing. I decided to create a bindrune to temper my resolve and make me begin to realize my own power again.

Meditative bindrune in the center: “Perseverance and victory through my spiritual honor and strength.”

(The others were my first design concepts)

New bindrune for ancestor ritual work. Just in time for Samhain. If you’re holding a ritual tomorrow, feel free to use this bindrune!

Merry Samhain!

Isa rune altar coin “Ice is called the broad bridge; the blind man must be led.” - Old Norwegian rune poem

“Ice is very cold and immeasurably slippery; it glistens as clear as glass and most like to gems; it is a floor wrought by the frost, fair to look upon.” - Anglo-Saxon rune poem

Isa is often discussed as the constricting rune, almost singularly (and understandably) represented with ice. I felt the spider’s web was a new way to approach the construction element while honoring the bridge aspect of this complex rune.
