Your question Which promise should I renegotiate?

The spread

  1. What is rooted Ansuz Speech, advice, and a message from someone who knows more. What to avoid: Listening to everyone and deciding nothing.
  2. What is rising Gebo Gift and obligation, balanced. A relationship with terms. What to avoid: Giving in order to have a claim.
  3. What must be cut Thurisaz A gate and a thorn. The obstacle that is also the way through. What to avoid: Reacting to provocation on reflex.

The first rune is about foundation, and the reading takes its whole tone from that: nothing here is a sprint.

The middle rune is Gebo, a rune of gift and obligation, which is the hardest kind of arithmetic.

Then the reading names the person you would ask for advice, and quietly notes that you already know what they would say.
