I understand I need to answer the questions and will edit this post when I can, though I wanted to ask whether the link is taking us to where you wanted as I can not find any instructions to do anything, only a rectangle of runes

It says this on the right hand side

Quote:
1.Focus on one question (concerning your professional life, love, project, etc.). ASK ONLY 1 QUESTION PER DAY AND NOT MORE!
2.Choose 1 rune from among those shown below. Place your mouse on this rune. DO NOT CLICK THE MOUSE.
3.While focusing on this rune, pick a number between 10 and 30.
4.Move clockwise that many runes.
5.Click the rune.


This is Lily adding to the post - make sure you open the page in IE explorer since the code doesn't work with firefox and other browsers. I didn't realize that when I made the assignment.

PostSubject: Homework!! ^^V   Mon 20 Nov - 9:25

WOO! my first homework (be fair it's after 3am & I'm on meds) :pale:

Part one

1: Will I find love?

2: Man rune

3: 9 it’s a lucky number because 3 goes into 9 3 times.

4: My reading:
“MAN This rune symbolizes a human being. It suggests that you express your potential for generosity, friendship and altruism. This rune represents your inner qualities that you can use to em You are powerful over the events. You will find a solution to your problems. The answer lies within you.”

5: To me this reading tells me that the solution to my answer was inside me all along & I should use my personal attributes and uniqueness to find love & not wait for it to come my way…I also find it ironic that I want love & picked the Man rune. LOL.

6: I agree with my reading partly. I agree on the fact that I should find the guy myself so I get what I want out of a relationship. I disagree on the grounds that I am super shy & I don’t break out my shell easily so I tend to not approach people of both sexes.

Part two
1: Samhain is the Traditional first day of Winter in Ireland. It was also used for a month of a Celtic calendar to make the end of the summer season & the harvest.

2: The evening of October 31st to November 1st

3: Runes are an alphabet and is also used as a system of divination and magic.

3) What number did you choose and why? (3)

22 - It's my lucky number

DAEG This rune symbolizes transformation. This is a very positive rune which brings prosperity and amelioration. It is the liht after darkness; health after illness; triumph after adversity. You have to seize the opportunity and be positive and serene

5) How does this reading relate to your question? What does it mean to you and your future? 200 words maximum. (10)

Hopefully it means that after the trials of submitting hundreds of applications and CVs, I'll get a little taste of the prosperity and amelioration they're harping on about.

For my future, it means I might not have to be embarassed about my bank balance.

6) Do you agree with your reading? (3)

Judging by the evidence at hand, and the fact that I got the letter about repaying my student loan today, no.

Total points: 22 points

Part Two:

1) What is Samhain? (2)

Samhain (Soow-in) is a pagan holiday that marks the transition between summer and winter.

2) When is Samhain? (2)

Samhain is on October 31st

3) In what way does this relate to Ancient Runes? (4)

Samhain is supposed to be the night where the barriers between our world and the supernatural are at their weakest, therefore, divination and runecasting would naturally be at their strongest.

Jara, the rune of seed, growth and harvest. Ethymologically, the word Jara is the same as the German Jahr, or the English Year, meaning the whole cycle of life. WInter, spring, summer and fall, and over again. It concerns the circulation of seasons, the work of preparing and sowing the fields, and the patience required awaiting the harvest.

One ancient Swedish greeting phrase is "Ars och Fridar", which means that you greet people with a wish of good harvest and peace. "Fridar" is in this regard a wonderful word, because it relly means peace, not only in the meaning absence of war, but also in the deeper sense; peace of mind.

This rune is in many ways a Scandinavian equivalent of the symbol Yin/Yang (it even resembles this oriental image). Jara represents the meeting between the seasons, between light and darkness, day and night, man and woman, and among the gods Jara represents the sacred, sexual marriage ritual between the God and Goddess, Frey and Freya.

Sex is both a means of enjoyment as well as survival, and Jara is sexually a very important rune - this time concerning the means of survival more than pleasure; the procreation of children, and also the animals on the farm and in the nature. It was common practice in pre-Christian times (and most probably hundreds of years into Christian time, only more secretly) that men and women in the springtime would go out on the fields to have sex, as a ritual to please the gods (mainly Frey and Freya), and to be sure that this procreational force would spread to the earth.

Jara also represents hopes and expectations for the future.

- Sourced from http://www.multiart.nu/grimner/english/texts/readingrunes.html



Feh means cattle, and cattle represents wealth. Feh represents the kind of property that can be sold and bought (contrary to the long-term landownership represented by Odal), which also includes the financial aspect of life - money. Generally one can say that Feh represents happiness and prosperity.

But there is another side of Feh which is equally important. Feh symbolizes completion, the circle is closed, and it's time to take the next step.

Feh indicates that you have reached your goals, completed your mission, and that you are entitled to some well-deserved rest, enjoying the fruits of your work. No more loose ends.

How this rune is interpreted reversed is very much dependendent on time, place and circumstance (which is always true for all the runes). At times it may indicate a lack of wealth, financial problems. But it can also be interpreted as greed - an exaggerated interest in financial matters and/or materialistic values.

A third way of reading the rune is that it may indicate loose ends, unfinished projects, and the energy leakage that comes from that. The versatility of the runes demands a great sensitivity performing oracle work, and Feh is no exception to this rule.

18 - my lucky number

"WYN This rune symbolizes joy. Joy will come from your work and through creative endeavors. Joy will be experienced in your love life from sharing emotional and physical pleasures. A change will materialize if you maintain your enthusiasm. Use your creative talents and intuition for your projects. Success comes from the plesaure you derive from your actions."

5) How does this reading relate to your question? What does it mean to you and your future? 200 words maximum.
"Joy will come from your work" - well, I don't have work! But I have been looking for a while, and I've applied for a lot of jobs, which would be my "enthusiasm", and hopefully "change" would be getting employed! "Success comes from the plesaure you derive from your actions" - I'm hoping this refers to the money I'd get, but you can never be too hopeful, right? ;)

6) Do you agree with your reading?
If my interpretation is accurate, and it means I'll get a job soon, then of course I'm going to agree!

Samhain is the word for November in the Irish language, and the traditional pagan first day of winter.

My first reaction is oh no! It refuses to answer me, so that cant be good *cries* but then I guess if I think of it, actually it isnt too bad. If it had of told me that I was going to pass them all I would have probably not studyed hard enough and if it had told me that I will fail then maybe I would have given up completely, so actually its best that I got this rune and reading and its best that I didnt get an answer

2) Find a picture of the rune you started on. (2)

34, I always pick this number. So, I guess it's my lucky number.

In a way it does relate to my question because no matter how hard I try to be different from my brother and sisters, we'll always look alike, always share that strong bond. The rune was blank another meaning for Destiny. It's up to me whether or not I want to be an individual from being a quadruplet. IN the meantime, my future is undecided with this question. I don't think I'm ready, but it's never too late to take a break and do something on your own.

Part One:

http://www.destinytarot.com/runes/Runes_games/runes/runes.html

Go to this site. Do exactly as it says – once you’re done fill out this:

1) What was your question? (2)
Will a Hufflepuff win the BB tournament?

2) Find a picture of the rune you started on. (2)


3) What number did you choose and why? (3)
I chose the number sixteen because it was the first thing that jumped into my head, so I went with my gut instincts and stuck with it.

4) Post your reading here. (2)
RAD This rune symbolizes a trip or voyage. Expect positive news or change. In your professional life, the door opens, allowing your project or plans to materialize. Negotiations will bring new contracts. Be ready for new direction, traveling, and transformation by being open-minded.

5) How does this reading relate to your question? What does it mean to you and your future? 200 words maximum. (10)
Traveling to the HEBB house was a trip or voyage, and in this way it relaltes to my question-the travel Hufflepuff took on the ‘road of life’ to get to where it is now in the HEBB standings. Since the rune represents ‘positive things’, I’m going to assume that a Hufflepuff will win the HEBB tournament, because that would be an incredibly positive thing in my life. It also states how projects or plans materialize, and Hufflepuff has certainly been planning a lot for HEBB and it is HE’s latest project, so, it will be completed in a way extremely favorable to Hufflepuff. It also states how negotiations will bring new contracts, this could mean that if Hufflepuff works together, and negotiates, a new contract-or bond of Hufflepufflyness, could double our chances of winning. The traveling mentioned will be taken by evicted members of the house-obviously, not Hufflepuffs, well, at least not until the very end! By being ‘open-minded’ and coming up with exciting new ‘directions’ to solve challenges, Hufflepuffs will remain at the top-where they belong. (Sorry for the opinionatedness, Lily XD)

6) Do you agree with your reading? (3)
I agree with it IMMENSELEY. Hufflepuffs are loyal hardworkers, who will toil away to achieve whatever they can. And the HEBB tournament is no different. Look out everybody, here we badgers come!

Part Two:

1) What is Samhain? (2)
It is the wicca sabbat that marks the end of summer and the beginning of winter. It is a time for honouring the dead.

2) When is Samhain? (2)
October 31st-aka, Halloween or All Hallow’s Eve.

3) In what way does this relate to Ancient Runes? (4)
During Samhain, the barrier between the worlds of the living and the dead are the weakest, so various types of divination can be performed with great results during this time. Also, runes are used to contact the dead.

Extra Credit:

1) For the rune you started on and landed on tell me their full meaning in ancient runes. (10)
This is Fehu, the rune I started on. It is like the letter ‘F’ and represents domestic cattle and wealth. When getting Fehu in a rune casting, it could mean any of the following things: Possessions won or earned, earned income, luck. Abundance, financial strength in the present or near future. Sign of hope and plenty, success and happiness. Social success. Energy, foresight, fertility, creation/destruction (becoming). If, during a rune reading, Fehu is reversed, the meanings become the exact opposite: Loss of personal property, esteem, or something that you put in effort to keep. It indicates some sort of failure. Greed, burnout, atrophy, discord. Cowardice, stupidity, dullness, poverty, slavery, bondage.

I give you Rad, or Raidho, which it is also sometimes called. Rad is similar to the letter “R” and represents a wagon or chariot. When divined for you in a reading, Rad could be symbolizing any of these: Travel, both in physical terms and those of lifestyle direction. A journey, vacation, relocation, evolution, change of place or setting. Seeing a larger perspective. Seeing the right move for you to make and deciding upon it. Personal rhythm, world rhythm, dance of life. If Rad is divined reversed, the meaning is drastically different-and ominous: Crisis, rigidity, stasis, injustice, irrationality. Disruption, dislocation, demotion, delusion, possibly a death.

Note: Some of the results that occur while divining I copied directly from my source, since I could see no possible way to re-word them.

KEN This rune symbolizes beginnings. This is a time for starting or restarting. If you have health problems, you recover or heal. If concerning your love life, this Rune symbolizes a new love relationship, with good times to come. This rune suggests that you take action and not be submissive.

5) How does this reading relate to your question? What does it mean to you and your future? 200 words maximum. (10)
I believe that this rune does relate to my question. (so accurate it’s quite frightening! Lol) I’ve been having doubts about going through with my original major which is pharmacy. I hate all types of sciences and am very bad at all of them. My main focus for this major was sadly enough just for the salary in the future. Yet I’ve begun to think that perhaps I shouldn’t try so hard in something I hate to do. Yet changing my major would mean I would have to start all over, at another college. The reading symbolizes beginnings. This is accurate because if I took the leap and changed I would have to start all over. Yet this rune shows that I should start over. It also advises me to “take action and not be submissive.” Which is what I need to make another decision on soon.

6) Do you agree with your reading? (3)
I do agree with this rune. Or at least this is what I would like to do. However whether or not I’ll be able to take the leap is still undecided.

Part Two:

1) What is Samhain? (2)
It is a holiday which marks the end of the last harvest.

2) When is Samhain? (2)
This is the word for November in the Irish language. It is at the beginning of November and the end of October, which shows the last harvest.
3) In what way does this relate to Ancient Runes? (4)
At this moment, folklore states that this day is when the line between the living and the dead is at its weakest. Therefore this is when many take advantage to make contact with the dead and perform rituals.

Extra Credit:

1) For the rune you started on and landed on tell me their full meaning in ancient runes. (10)
The rune that I landed on and start on is the same rune, the Kenaz rune. This rune’s gem is the bloodstone, the flower is the wild rose, and the number that it associates with is the number 3. The traditional meaning of this rune is a torch. This means that hidden knowledge is revealed. Similarly to the way a torch shows light on a hidden pathway, the Kenaz rune represents understanding and discovery toward something unknown. The element that is linked to this rune is the fire. The fire symbolizes the start/spark of something, or an idea, coming alive. Starting new. In different instances, this rune means well being and recovery for anyone who is sick. In relationships it means that you are the active person in the relationship, the one who starts things and keeps it alive.

Part One:

1) What was your question? (2)

Will my profession be what I think it will be now?

2) Find a picture of the rune you started on. (2)



3) What number did you choose and why? (3)

I chose 27 because I like numbers with seven. My favorite number is 17, but I decided to jump to 27 to be different for once.

4) Post your reading here. (2)

EH This rune symbolizes a horse. It means a move, trip, or change regarding your professional life. Progress is close by but you need to be open-minded. Be ready to take the reigns, adapt and change your horizon. Whether spiritually or physically, you need to move, travel, and discover. Let go of your old habits or problems and go for the new adventure.


5) How does this reading relate to your question? What does it mean to you and your future? 200 words maximum. (10)

It’s slightly scary how much it relates to my question. I asked about my profession, and it gave me an answer concerning it. I’m in high school at the moment and starting to think about colleges and what I’m going to do with the rest of my life, which is partly why I asked what I did. I don’t think that this reading means that my family and I are moving away, we’re just fine where we are and the jobs my parents have don’t need them to travel all over. I love travel, which is another interesting thing about the rune reading. I wish to go overseas to Europe when I graduate, and if possible, before, a ‘new adventure’. I’d also love to study abroad during college for at least a semester. This year in school I’ve been enjoying having the opportunity to discover new things, more ‘new adventures’ now if you will. And the part about ‘a change in my personal life’? Well, I can’t tell you what that means, I’m not psychic. I’ve never had a boyfriend, so maybe that’s in my future, near or far? Perhaps, perhaps. I like the reading, it seems to fit really well.

6) Do you agree with your reading? (3)

Mostly yes, I do agree. It’s interesting and is giving me something to think about.

Total points: 22 points

Part Two:

1) What is Samhain? (2)

Samhain is an important Celtic holiday. It celebrates the beginning of a new cycle.

2) When is Samhain? (2)

November first

3) In what way does this relate to Ancient Runes? (4)

It was an important day for divination and a child born on that day would be said to have the ‘second sight.’

Go to this site. Do exactly as it says – once you’re done fill out this:

1) What was your question? (2)
Will my novel ever be published?

2) Find a picture of the rune you started on. (2)


3) What number did you choose and why? (3)
12--My little brother is 12

4) Post your reading here. (2)
NYD This rune symbolizes time. It asks that you detach from the material world. Be patient, careful and strong. You need to reflect and not act. A positive frame of mind is very important. Don't be in a rush to succeed or reach your goal. Don't precipitate anything. Only time and wisdom will bring success.

5) How does this reading relate to your question? What does it mean to you and your future? 200 words maximum. (10)
I'm pretty sure its obvious. If I'm merely patient and detach myself from all material shackles, then my dream of being published will come true. With the proper mindset and a patient attitude, I will become the author I wish to become. Because wisdom comes only with time, I must wait for such a life altering experience.

6) Do you agree with your reading? (3)
Completely. With patience and the right frame of mind I know that anything is possible. The time will allow me to search for publishers, tweak my novel, edit and re-edit. Everything that's needed prior to the actual publication.

3) In what way does this relate to Ancient Runes? (4)
It is a highly revered day for divination and the reading of runes.

Part 1:

1) Will I find a job after I graduate?

2)

3) I chose the number 22, for no particular reason.

4) DAEG This rune symbolizes transformation. This is a very positive rune which brings prosperity and amelioration. It is the light after darkness; health after illness; triumph after adversity. You have to seize the opportunity and be positive and serene.

5) It means that with a little transformation, the answer is yes. And the prosperity doesn't sound too bad either...

Part 2:

1) Samhain is a celebration marking the end of the summer and the beginning of the winter seasons.

2) Samhain begins on or around the 31st of October (Halloween).

3) Both Runes and Samhain deal with addressing the future.
