I have agreed to become a student of Rig Svenson
http://www.runewebvitki.com/about_me.html

I am so touched and honored! He has been put to the test and passed as one I can trust and his knowledge is undisputable. He is in England, but via Skype I believe we can do this until we can meet eventually.

I am hoping I can remain with the Rune Gild while I learn from him as I believe I have enough common sense to know how to take the good from what I am taught. I have met many folks from the Rune Gild that I respect and look forward to getting to know them better.

I also went to the Swap meet today with my Dad and for 20 dollars I left with 5-6 bags of craft supplies and goodies! I need more shelves in the craft room! (something new to add to the Honey-do list!)
Last week I created a really cool glow-in-the-dark Hallow's Eve page with a unique frame for CJ's girlfriend Jamie ~ we had a blast working on it! I hope she comes back to craft more soon!

I ALSO finished the head of my handmade oak Hammer. I will rub it down with bees wax tonight and begin carving the Runes and symbols on it tomorrow.
AND I warped my inkle loom with a pattern I designed and am nearly done with the band to be used with my Horn!

WOW I am really getting things done!!

I got my copy of True Hearth yesterday and added it to my books to finish (almost done as I write this)

I have been going through The Rune Workbook since last month. Daily I have pulled runes and then journaling the study. I have found that the same runes were appearing and others never being covered. I worried I ought to be doing this less intuitively and instead more methodically.

But today, as I once again pulled Raidho, the messages came! As I read the Rune poems an understanding arose that was very hard to put into words. (is this normal?)

These are the words I journaled...

Behind every journey on ones path is the labor.."the toil of the horse"

The most powerful paths are very hard..."very hard for one who sits on a powerful horse" Those with this kind of a journey have the burden of great responsibility. There is a "right way" to proceed which may be the most difficult for the uninitiated.

These words may not seem to be breakthrough material to many, and indeed, they are truths I have understood for many years. But to recieve them as more than just the written meaning of the Rune was a significant event for me!

And so, the journey continues...
