These runes represent the past, the present, and the future. In traditional divination, they would be connected to what led to your question, the nature of the question, and the ultaimte outcome of the question's answer.

  • thurisaz - 

    Thorn

    Reaction, Defense, Conflict, Catharsis, Regeneration

    Gateway

    This rune "represents the frontier between Heaven and the mundane," writes Blum. To put in mortal terms, you're ready for something bigger. Thurisaz, frequently associated with the god Thor, is imbued with energy and even chaos. Without direction, this energy can easily turn destructive, which is why Blum emphasizes that one should exercise nonaction upon drawing this rune. Think before you act.

    A reversed Thurisaz can mean accelerated progress, but you can still act mindfully. Ignore the urge to act hastily and don't lose sight of your intentions.

  • wunjo - 

    Joy

    Pleasure, Comfort, Harmony, Prosperity, Reward, Success

    Joy

    Let the self-restraint that has guided you through Nauthiz and Fehu come to an end. Wunjo is a sign that "you have come to yourself in some regard," Blum writes, and that comes with new energy, a sense of illumination, and, yes, joy. He adds that this rune also encourages restoration. You may suddenly wish to "renounce existing plans, ambitions, goals," and he says you should follow these feelings. You've reached a point where you feel aligned with your true self.

    In reverse, Wunjo reflects a delay in what you want. A change of circumstances — or a change of heart — may be in order.

  • 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.
