Runes for Hard Times
When you are in a difficult spot, the Runes can help. You may not have time to develop bind runes or combinations. One Rune can do the trick, and it works better when your mind is not cluttered with trying to create a Runic formula.
Here are a few examples:
Raido will get you out of there fast. It is a Rune of movement. Use it to get away, use it to get to where you need to be. Raido brings the means to move quickly.
Naud can slow someone down. Use it to buy time.
Thurs can repel and deter. It is a good defense, but be careful. Should you need to keep a clear head, Thurs and Tyr are two runes that can make you angry. When trouble comes, anger is a luxury you cannot afford. Anger can make you rash and careless.
If you are hurt, Urus can call up enough energy to get you moving again. It will only be temporary, depending on the severity of injury. Healing requires energy. Note that if you are tired, Urus will help you stay awake.
These are but four things you can do. More will be listed in a forthcoming article in the next issue of Uncle Thor’s Magazine Online.
