the runes > honesty

Oh great Magic 8 Ball, regal me with wisdom above the Rune’s … I can’t say I understand why I got this one at this time, but I suspect there is good reason. I used my left hand to pull out of the bag instead of my right.

Honesty RuneFor some, drawing this Rune is a sign that the days of hiding from yourself and others are over. If, however, those days are still upon you, meditate on Shakespeare’s poignant words, This above all: To thine own self be true.

Honesty opens locked cupboards in the heart. Being honest is one way of relieving the pain. If you find that speaking about the truth is still difficult, perhaps the very reason you received this Rune is to remind you to ask “God” for the courage to try again.

This one is especially painful in that, within 10 minutes of drawing this I felt a wave of emotions upon me that gave me pause. A little bit of tingles.
