Consciously consulting Self, reveals truths denied, fears hidden and hopes dashed. But it can also communicate what powers are lying fallow, the inner guidance available and its eternal wisdom. The subconscious mind will assist in the transcendence of difficulties, if you tell the truth, and trust the process of growth and becoming. It is commonly referred to as the Higher Self, the All-Seeing One, God within or the Divine Aspect. In the Runic Norse tradition, it was Odin, the highest divinity in the pantheon of the Norse gods, who gave the world the Runes.
All beings have a knowingness that is an untapped source of help.
The Runes are a sacred ritual, worthy of respect, which makes the process real, and provides a focus for the sacredness of the act. Much evidence points to the fact that women were the primary practitioners of Runecraft. They were honored, feared and welcomed in any community when the people felt the need to consult higher powers that could influence the lives and fortunes of all. All you need is an open mind, a willingness to allow your subconscious to make itself known to you, and a desire for guidance. There is nothing to fear within.
