General Category / Admin and Help / quick question about the 'show new post' button

Hiya! I just wondered, I have been popping back and forth having a nosy to see if there are any new posts- just using the new posts button (thought if was my friend, maybe not!)- most times nothing comes up, but I have just seen that you posted a reply to one I made ages ago, and I am sure this never popped up when I hit that button recently. Just wanting to check whether there are any glitches, as sometimes the new post/replies to posts doesn't seem to pick up on the new stuff? Just wondering if anyone else found this happening too - its just I popped in, thought no-one had posted anything for ages, and wondered where you'd all gotten to! hope you can help, unless its just my damn computer!   |

Runes and Lore / Users Reviews / Re: Book: Raido by Jennifer Smith

Raido is my first Rune book. It is a small, but informative book that came with my pre-made Runes. I have found it very helpful, as well as interesting, for someone just starting out, like myself. She puts forth an interesting idea about the "flow" of the runes and the relationship between the three aetts of the Germanic futhark. She seems to have done a great deal of research and I would be interested to hear the opinions of others on her work.

this one sounds good Elizabeth - thanks for posting! |

The Elder Futhark / Perthro / Peorth

Peorth is a source of recreation and amusement to the great, where warriors sit blithely together in the banqueting-hall. Looking at the rune symbol for this one, and from reading the poem, the first thing that jumped into my mind is the court jester, but I havent checked yet if the Jester was 'about' at the time these were written! Will do, but meantime - even the symbol for this one reminds me of the mad hat the jester wore, or perhaps the arms of the jester/entertainer, extending out in some sort of silly impression to amuse the warriors while they feasted and rested. to sit 'blithley' is to have a lack of due concern, so from this, if I drew this one, it would suggest that I take a bit of a chill-pill over events which may be troubling me, and also to invest some time in doing something which please me more. Its definately a sit back and kick your feet up rune to me at the moment! what do you all think though? what's you take on this, and anyone want to confirm if the Jester think is just totally bonkers, that would be fine too. |

I agree a blank rune has no purpose, as the rune is the 'symbol' not the tablet - but a blank tablet with a secret rune washed over it and left to dry, so its not visable to the naked eye - I think may make for powerful stuff. But thats why a set of runes should have no blank 'tablet', as the tablets themselves are only the carrier and not the message. |

The thorn is exceedingly sharp, an evil thing for any knight to touch, uncommonly severe on all who sit among them Again, my first attempt at reading this with its old original poem I don't know about anyone else, my first read of this gets me thinking its relating to women? (thorns that embelish and protect a rose - the rose is often linked to women in history) Its a real kick-ass kind of rune this one, there is a real sense that you are opening pandoras box if you are lured in by the rose in the first place. Sort of like if you take on a challange which presents itself, knowing full well the result is going to be bad, then you only have yourself to blame when it all hits the fan. I am hoping you might jump in with a few nicer alternative theories as I am reading this one as a bit of a bad rune. (and still think there is a heavy 'female' influence behind all the evil stuff too! I would like to know if anyone has drawn this rune and 'read' it in a good way?  thanks! winter |

And just to add a sort-of modern twist on things (Scots): a kenning is a 'knowing', generally associated with a vision.
Spooky - I am a Fifer, from Scotland and I used to say 'I ken' for I know all the time, before I moved out of Scotland, as then no one knew what I was one about! So great to see it popping up here - will have to check this out! my favourite was 'di ye ken what I mean?' - do you know what I mean. oh the memories....! |
