I'm glad that you pointed that out about the black henna, Grym. I also like your idea of using a sharpie-it would be gone much faster. Thanks! MW, did the henna artist exfoliate your skin before applying the henna? I do them myself, they don't usually come out really dark, but the damn things don't completely wash off for a good week and a half. They worked particularly well for protection.  |

I generally look at it as a 'journey' but not necessarily a physical one. Like most things in life, it's more about the trip than the destination, so I take it to mean the path I'm on, whether I'm asking about my witchy path, my business path, my spiritual path ... you get the idea.
This is exactly how I view it. In fact, more often than not, it seems to be referring to something other than a physical journey in my readings. |

I really love your idea of drawing a symbol in the sand and letting the tide take it away, Winter Night! That just gave me an idea to draw one on a piece of paper and burn, letting the smoke do the same as the water in your idea. Thank you!

For some reason, I get a foreboding feeling from this one. Kind of like a warning of something treacherous or nasty looming. Not physically treacherous, more situational, if that makes any sense. lol  Elizabeth |

I use Runes in nearly every working that I do, these days. Normally, for spellwork, I select three or four appropriate Runes and simply place them on my working surface, reciting the intent of that particular Rune, as I lay it down. Last night, as a matter of fact, I was making some charm bags. For one of them, I created a bindrune from three pertinent Runes, and drew it on the bag into which I was placing my herbs and stones. I have no idea if this is what is considered a "correct" way to do things, but it is what feels right, to me, personally. As I don't subscribe to there being any right or wrong way to do things, when it comes to magic, I am comfortable going with whatever occurs to me. Hope this helps! Elizabeth |

Hearing the name of Gebo brings to mind "warmth" as relates to an emotional warmth-similar to your "bear hug" analogy (which I like, btw). It just sounds very friendly and happy to me.

I find myself including this particular Rune in every working in which I use Runes. I'm not sure why-yet, I am just very drawn to this particular one. It feels very powerful to me. I really like the Icelandic poem-good stuff!
