Rune Meanings - Part 2 of 3

In the last article we covered the first eight runes of the elder futhark. Here now is part two of three parts, which covers the second group of eight runes. This second set is ruled over by the god and goddess Heimdall and Mordgud, much like the first set of eight runes was ruled over by Frey and Freyja. In the following article we will cover the last eight runes of the elder futhark to conclude the three part series for the meanings of this set of runes. Be sure to have a look back here in the near future so that you can read and learn about the rest of the runes.

So without further delays, here is the next group of runes.

Hagalaz
Representing a hailstone we can expect time and situations to be constricting if Hagalaz turns up in a reading. But much like a hailstone will eventually turn to water, which flows smoothly, these situations and times will eventually flow smoothly for us.

Naudhiz
This rune represents how our need or want of something can put a restriction on us. It restricts our possibilities but also contains the power we need to break free from those restrictions.

Isa
Like an icicle formed at the start of winter, with this rune we can only wait until the warmth of the sun allows us to be free from a constricting form. Isa represents a halt in activity until a change is made.

Jera
Jera is a rune that represents the cycle of life. With this rune we see that we must go with the flow of nature to obtain the goals we want.

Eihwaz
Eihwaz is a rune that can be used as a magical protector and facilitator. It shows us that in the event of an ending situation we find the start of a new situation.

Perdhro
Perdhro reminds us of the uncertainties in life and represents freewill and the connection of the restrictions we have due to our circumstances. It is viewed as a rune of memory and problem solving.

Elhaz
This is a rune of great restraint power, defense and protection. Use this rune in charms and talismans to protect yourself as well as your property.

Sowulo
With the help of this rune we tend to be able to see things more clearly. Like the sun sheds light on dark times, with Sowulo we too can find the light during dark times.
