Tyriel [Rune Secrets Admin] replied to Dave M's discussion Request: Runes for Addiction?"Isa is 'just a straight line'.
Okay. But none of the other ones are. And Isa has particular dimensions and is vertical. While contemplating the runes in terms of what other runes comprise them may be useful to a degree, I think it…"
maria replied to Dave M's discussion Request: Runes for Addiction?"quote-'self-destruction' runes, Hagalaz being the crisis/catastrophe from past action and Isa being stagnation/stasis and blockage.
Isa being a straight line ,one can say that it is comprised/part of all the runes.In this case is it…"
Tyriel [Rune Secrets Admin] replied to Dave M's discussion Request: Runes for Addiction?"Laguz is obvious because of its historical use as a charm drawn over the cup of kings to neutralize poisons. (Can't find a source right now)

Tyriel [Rune Secrets Admin] replied to Dave M's discussion Request: Runes for Addiction?"Interestingly enough, Hagalaz and Isa are very typical 'self-destruction' runes, Hagalaz being the crisis/catastrophe from past action and Isa being stagnation/stasis and blockage.
Less severe is Jera, who demands hard work, patience and…"
sammadur replied to Dave M's discussion Request: Runes for Addiction?"A serious question: what are the Runes that govern the self-destroying desires one surrenders to frustrating one's real needs? Another question not necessarily linked with the former one: What if one tries first to imagine a malicious…"
sammadur replied to Dave M's discussion Request: Runes for Addiction?"In fact one course in Rune Magic (not available in English) recommends Nauthiz as THE MAIN rune for fighting off addictions. The author states that in his experience using Nauthiz made heavy abusers of hard drugs first switch to softer drugs and…"
Lara Spurr replied to Dave M's discussion Request: Runes for Addiction?"When I first started out with runes I kept experiencing Nauthiz as a "help" rune and thought I was just a bit mad LOL! I even had an inspiration to carve it onto a seer's staff, and couldn't make sense of why. Now I'm…"
Ayrion Frank replied to Dave M's discussion Request: Runes for Addiction?"I would argue that Uruz would be a good rune to use in a case like this because Uruz represents the strength of health, and in a bind rune Uruz could be used as strength of will that leads to breaking addiction. Dagaz is another one mentioned and I…"

Tyriel [Rune Secrets Admin] replied to Dave M's discussion Request: Runes for Addiction?"I don't know where the idea comes from that any rune should only be used/contemplated deeply by experienced rune casters. How did those rune casters become experienced? Probably by breaking that very presumed rule and diving in.
Nauthiz can be…"

Dave M replied to Dave M's discussion Request: Runes for Addiction?"Thanks guys for the responses! I have a follow-up question and further explanation. I wanted to tell a story in three (or more, but 3 sounds right) runes. It’s a story about person who realizes that he has a problem with…"

Hello everyone! I just wanted to share the design for the cover of The Book of Rune Secrets, recently completed. This will (99%) probably be the final cover that will show up on Amazon and the actual book! Feedback appreciated, of course. Enjoy!Lessons of Hagalaz: Rune of Disaster and Healing
In the face of disaster, compassionate human beings discover that they do not break, but become stronger. We discover that our communities come together, even on a global scale, in face of unimaginable destruction. When the universe shows its inimical side, the side that couldn't care less about average human affairs, it's as if we come together to show overwhelmingly that we care for one another. When the universe demonstrates that it cannot be depended upon, that it is more than able to wreck havoc, we react by showing that we can depend upon one another.A Social Network Exclusively For Rune Study?
