ᛉ  ᚱ

The Rune-Quest of Eyra

This trial challenges you to uncover the alphabet of creation hidden within the natural world. The chosen rune should have a clear, recognizable form that could naturally occur in the landscape, paired with a meaning that inspires exploration and discovery.

Algiz (ᛉ) - The Rune of Protection

Meaning: The elk, protection, a shield, and a connection to the divine.

The Algiz rune embodies an archetypal shape—resembling an upraised tree, the outstretched branches of a pine, the delicate imprint of a bird's tracks in snow, or a person reaching toward the sky. These forms are abundant in nature, making Algiz a symbol that feels both familiar and profound. Its meaning, "protection," resonates deeply with the explorer, offering a sense of guidance, safety, and reassurance that they are on the right path and under divine care.

Raidho (ᚱ) - The Rune of Journey

 Meaning: Travel, movement, rhythm, and the journey of life.

The Raidho rune captures the essence of movement and the cyclical nature of life's journeys. Its shape evokes the winding paths of rivers, the curvature of a rolling path, or the rhythmic wheel of a cart. Found naturally in patterns of flowing water or the gentle bend of trails, this rune symbolizes not only physical travel but the inner journey of growth and transformation. Raidho inspires the seeker to embrace change, trust the process, and recognize that every step forward is part of a greater purpose and rhythm in the universe.
