Your question What does this silence mean?

The spread

  1. What is rooted Isa Stillness, ice and the pause that preserves. What to avoid: Waiting as an avoidance strategy.
  2. What is rising Tiwaz Justice, honour and the willingness to lose fairly. What to avoid: Principles held at the cost of relationships.
  3. What must be cut Kenaz The controlled fire: craft, warmth, a skill being learned. What to avoid: A talent used only to impress.

The cast opens on what is rooted, and it names something you have been standing on without noticing.

At the centre, Tiwaz: a rune of the journey, and of the difference between leaving and escaping.

The final rune is a rune of waiting, which the old alphabet insists is also a kind of work.
