Part 2: (worth 20 housepoints)
Create a rune and link it with a tarot card, colour, God, astrology symbol, tree and herb. Explain in detail why you have linked all of these to your new rune.
My rune is called Mitwa. It is basically my essence, because my name means friend or friendly, and so does Mitwa in Hindi.
The tarot card that runs alongside Mitwa would be The Sun, because the sun symbolises, warmth, friendship, love, affection and new beginning, as the sun is the giver of everything on the Earth.
The colour would be saffron, which is made from yellow, red and white. Yellow is the colour that symbolises friendship, white symbolises purity and honesty between friends, loyalty and closeness, and red symbolises passion and love, not romantically but there has to be some sort of attraction between friends otherwise, you would be enemies. E.g., I love all my friends, even those I only know for a week every year, and I have great fun, because the passion is what makes me able to relax, poke fun at them, play games, and just be friends…I couldn’t do that if I was shy, never spoke and never smiled at my friends…
The God would be Surya, God of the Sun (Hinduism), the reason is quite obvious.
Astrology symbol would either be the Sun (again, said above) or Venus, because she symbolises compassion of women and i think that compassion is one of the qualities that a good friendship needs.
Tree would be the banyan tree, which gives fruit, shade, sap and roots for everyone, but doesn’t expect anything back in return.
Herb…would be…a daisy. Daisies may not be herbs, but they do spread very easily, and people don’t mind them because they are cute, and pretty. Friendship should be spread, not kept to oneself. Just like knowledge!
One of my favourite sayings from a song/geet is “Chalo jalaye deep wahan, jahan abhee bhee andhera hai.” It means, “Come, friend, let us light a Deep (candle) where it is still dark.”
