I was given this rune by a onother shaman: Ehwaz: (E: Horse, two horses.) Transportation. May represent a horse, car, plane, boat or other vehicle. Movement and change for the better. Gradual development and steady progress are indicated. Harmony, teamwork, trust, loyalty. An ideal marriage or partnership.

Peace and love to the shamans that uses the runes.

En fin rune du har fått! 

Fred & fryd,
Fagerhjul

Thank you, it gives me power and strengt to grow.

Peace and love to you who knows the power of the runes.

Hi Fagerhjul,

I used to use the runes a lot in my daily life to get knowledge from the rune spirits.

How do you use the runes?

Peace and love to you.

Hei.

Rune spirits ja. Det er nok slik jeg og ser dem.

Jeg får råd av dem, synger dem, men først og fremst risser jeg dem 

År og fred til deg og,
som kjenner runenes visdom

This rune gives me power to transform like Odin did.

Peace and love to you all.

People who lived one or two thousand years ago knew everything about cars and airplanes, of course.

Based on your statements in this thread I must conclude that you are a classic New Ager, dear Beautiful Change.

For most people, the runic alphabet died out sometime between the 13th and 16th centuries. But for those special New Age people with one foot in the world of secrets and the other in the world of mysteries, runes are used as a form of divination.*

The Norse used Runic characters mostly for practical purposes, such as marking graves, identifying property, or for defacing other's graves and property with graffiti, such as at Maes Howe in Orkney. New Agers ignore these uses and prefer to side with superstitious 12th century Norsemen and women who thought they could  see the future in alphabetic characters on wood or stone. Somehow, the image of Viking warriors, worshippers of Thor and Odin, kneeling down to cast runes to decide whether or not to invade Ireland, seems incongruous.

It is said that rune reading is useful for gaining spiritual insight. No doubt, it is as good as any other method. Dr. Martin D. Rayner, a professor of physiology at the University of Hawaii School of Medicine, claims that by gazing at the runes one can tap into the subconscious and find great knowledge about oneself.

How can the random selection of marked stones tell you anything about yourself? Perhaps these Rune Interpretations are simply so evocative that each contains some point, which can be accepted as relevant to some part of what is happening at the limits of consciousness any day, any time, to anyone. That is the easiest possibility to accept from a strictly scientific standpoint. [The Runes Explained]

The good doctor is giving new meaning not only to his life but to science as well. Nevertheless, he says he has found rune reading to be "transformational" and leading to "breakthroughs", which are common goals of New Agers.

How is it that random alphabetic stone selection can be so useful? Easy. Anything can be a source of transformation and breakthrough if you decide to let it be. Runes, tarot cards, the I Ching, enneagrams, Myers-Briggs....anything can be used to stimulate self-reflection and self-analysis. Anything can be used to justify coming to a decision about an unresolved matter. Coming to a decision brings relief, reduces anxiety, and may well seem like a breakthrough and transformation. Using something like rune stones to help make your decision relieves you of responsibility for it. The choice was made for you by the stones and your subconscious mind, so you are off the hook if anything goes wrong. Furthermore, since there is no standard interpretation of any of this stuff, you can always change your initial interpretation to fit new facts or desires.

When you are the oracle yourself, it is always a win-win situation.

Hi there Passopp,

If I understan you correctly, the M rune means horse. So if one interpret horse one could include sleipner who took Odin everywhere. A sort of transformation.

Thanks for your advice Passopp. Do you have a specific source I should use in order to uderstand the runes better?

Thanks in advance.

Peace and love.

The Runes are calling me.

Har hatt mange drømmer om runer det siste året, men har ikke helt skjønt hvordan jeg kan benytte meg av det. Ellers så har det vært andre ting som jeg har konsentrert meg om, sånn at jeg ikke har fått satt meg inn i det skikkelig. Har jo et runesett liggende da, laget av nydelige steiner, men regner med at skal en få skikkelig føling med dette må man risse de selv, slik at de blir personlige. Skal nok sette meg inn i dette også, med tid og stunder. I alle fall prøver de å snakke til meg, selv om jeg ikke alltid hører etter 

Peace and love.

Her er også en link på din vei i runeverden:

Runer er veldig nytt for meg.. Vil lære mer om det..

å rune=å sjamanisere (ca.)

Jeg drømte også om runer for ikke så lenge siden. Det var en gammel kvinne fra familien min, en noita fra dypet av finnskogen som kom til meg i den drømmen.. Jeg fikk et åndelig navn risset i runer, en slags sjamantittel som hadde gått i arv. Jeg skriver det ikke her av forståelige grunner. Det er et kraftnavn, og når jeg framsier det flere ganger etter hverandre i et messende tonefall endres bevisstheten og kraften kommer til meg..

hmm.

Thanks for the link Lilljee.

I believe the runes are magical symbols in the Norse Shamanism.

Its a way of getting in conntact with the spiritual world.

Peace and love.

Sleipner was "sleip".

http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleipner

Peace and love.

Sleipner, den store sjamanen Odins hest.
De sibirske sjamanene hadde også åttebente hester som kunne ta dem dit de ville.

Hvem var så mellomleddet mellom de norrøne volvene og de sibirske sjamanene..

Sleipner trakk Odin i en båt som het Skibladne (bladene på ski). Samene lærte nordmennene å gå på ski. Skibladne gikk like godt til vanns som til lands. Var dette en raid fra nord, som både kunne gå over isen og fjellet? Det må ha virket veldig eksotisk for de germanske innvandrerne. Hvis du aldri har sett et reinsdyr trekke en slede, hva vil du sammenligne det med? En hest som trekker en.. båt? Var Odin en samisk sjaman og sleipner hans rein? Mange bein= en metafor for at det gikk.. veldig fort.. over vidda?

Hi there,

The horse exist in many cultures and is/was the main way of transportation. I believe this is why the Norse made a specific rune for Sleipner and the horse.

I also believe there is so much mythology around the horse since it was so important for man.

Peace and love.

Her er forresten et motiv fra et vevteppe fra vikingtiden som forestiller Tor, Odin og Frøy. Legg merke til den samiske fargesammensetningen, de sørsamiske luene og noe som kan minne om krager med tinntrådsbroderi, osv..

Heter julenissen Odin?

Ja, hvem vet? Nå er det litt greit å ta med at farger kom fra planter. Og disse plantene er stort sett de samme i norden.. Det er bare sånn praktisk tenkt.
Vi finner ofte de mønstrene man leter etter. Nornene og Sarakka m/døtre. Skade, sæmin, sleipner, jotner osv. Klart at folk møttes og kulturer spant litt sammen. Noe annet ville være rart. Vikingene var også sjøfolk som fartet langt og mye.
Men hvem som lånte hva av hvem er en annen diskusjon..
