Runes

It matters that you see things a little differently now. Put yourself in the position of the people who appear to be working against your words and your actions. Instead of reading that as a sign that they dislike what you are doing, you might also read their words as a chance to improve the situation by opening your mind further.

Their actions may well give you a far better idea of the road you should take. The runes are a reminder that a single throw can show you an entirely different outcome. The people who appear to be your enemies may be offering you the most important lessons.

Verse
My way of seeing brought me low.
Now clearly everything I know.
From all of it I learn my part,
and honor what is good at heart.

Other meanings
Do not judge so quickly. Look at the situation from every angle. There is something in it for you to learn. Understand the other person's point of view as well. You are being unreasonable. Study the runes for spiritual growth and understanding.

About the runes
The Germanic peoples used runes in the first and second centuries AD. The word rune means secret, or whispered. According to Norse mythology the runic alphabet has a divine origin: the Norse god Odin hung himself from the world tree and received the runes as a reward for his self-sacrifice. By passing through death and rebirth, the initiate hopes to gain mystical wisdom.
