Elemental Cross

This reading is good for establishing where you are in the timing of a situation. Runes one through three represent the past, present and future. Position four offers some advice about how to proceed, and position five speaks to certain limitations in the situation.

1. Past

Position one addresses the past, relative to your question. It shows what has led to to your present state of mind.

BLANK / karmic rune

Fate, destiny, kismet, karma. These are all descriptive of the nature of this rune when it appears. It is as though a veil is drawn over the answer so you cannot perceive it at this time. While it is difficult to trust in fate, it is impossible to change it. Things will be decided for you, so an accepting frame of mind will be your best resource.

2. Present

This rune is for the present. In addition, rune 2 can represent your present STATE OF MIND,

Lagu / lake

LAGU points out your intuitive or psychic connections to the world around you. The flowing energies around you are more evident where this rune falls. Allow your attention to focus on inner feelings and psychic awareness can develop. LAGU also indicates females are involved in the question. When in doubt, seek the female connection socially, the intuitive connection on the inner plane.

3. Future

Rune three looks into the future. It says something about the RESULT.

Hagal / hail

Surprise is an understatement where HAGAL is concerned. Where this rune appears, you must accept the realities of living in the material world: change is inevitable, plans change, the unexpected happens. While such disruptions are more often than not considered to be difficult or even bad, the fact is that if you "go with the flow", you will be much happier. Remember the adage, "Out with the old, in with the new".

4. Assistance

Rune four tells you what kind of help you can expect in regard to your question. It can relate to other people, circumstance, or to your own efforts.

Os / God

The rune OS, also called ANSUR, represents the power and authority of a god. In your reading it is an indication that you are led by the sort of help that you would expect from parents and other authority figures. Allow the voice of authority to speak in your life where this rune is found; you will benefit from the opportunity of apprenticeship.

5. What you cannot change

Rune five tells you what cannot be changed about the situation. You can evaluate what this rune says in order to formulate a method for acceptance, but do not seek to change this rune's meaning.

Nyd / need

They say that necessity is the mother of invention. With NYD you must have patience in order to learn where creative effort is going to bear fruit. Expect delays and limitations when this rune appears; take care of your health as well. For a time the feeling will be that success is eluding you, but the rune’s nature is not failure. Rather endurance is required to get you through.
