This layout is as simple as it gets. It leaves out the idea of the past and focuses on the present (that which is) and the future (that which is becoming).

  • dagaz - 

    Inheritance

    Ancestry, Possessions, Heritage, Experience, Value

    Breakthrough

    This rune alludes to a complete transformation of the self. Symbolic of the dawn, Dagaz may even indicate the end of your previously ordinary life. As dramatic as this may sound, Blum writes that you should exercise "radical trust" and seize this moment of change.

    Without a reverse, this rune's message is clear: You've achieved something great. Remember what brought you to this point.

  • mannaz - 

    Humanity

    Individuality, Friendship, Society, Cooperation, Help

    The Self

    This rune reminds the reader that change starts within. "Regardless of how great may be your merit, be yielding, devoted, and moderate, for then you have a true direction for your life," Blum writes. It's a signal of self-awareness and conscientiousness — so consider your place in the world when you draw this rune. Act with selflessness and avoid acting rashly right now.

    When drawn in reverse, take Mannaz as a cue to turn inward and reflect for a while — that's how you'll find "the enemy of your progress," Blum writes.
