Horse Shoe Layout #1

 

The seven-card Horse Shoe is a convenient, basic layout that can be used to answer different types of questions, especially concerning questions where insight would be helpful. Like several other layouts, it has runes representing the past, present, and future.

The pinnacle of the Horse Shoe, looking like the top of the mountain, shows the obstacle or challenge that needs to be addressed and overcome. Rune #6 suggests a course of action to meet this challenge. The final rune shows the outcome or future, should this advice be followed.

Other clues are provided in Runes #3 and #5, which indicate hidden or outside influences that come into play, affecting the journey to your goal.

The Past Rune represents past events that are affecting the question.

 

Laguz

Laguz reversed may mean sensual numbness and lack of creativity. Passivity, weakness, and lack of initiative can lead to stagnation.

 

 

 

The Present Rune represents the current state or immediately approaching influence.

 

Wyrd

Used only in rune casts, Wyrd is not part of the runic alphabet. When this rune appears, it often symbolises a major change. If this rune is drawn in a single-rune cast, it suggests to ask this question again at a later time.

 

 

 

Hidden Influences - Things that you may not be aware of, or barely be aware of.

 

Mannaz

Your interpersonal skills are experiencing a peak time. You are connected deeply with your core self and this by extension makes communication with others particularly valuable. Creative thought is flowing inside you and around you, making you especially attractive to others.

 

 

 

Obstacle - This is the challenge.

 

Ehwaz

Ehwaz reversed indicates boredom and restlessness. Although you may hunger for something different, do not act in haste. Wait patiently for the right opportunity to present itself.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

External Influences - Attitudes about this situation from people around the querent.

 

Elhaz

It would be wise to watch out for hidden traps. It is a great time to search yourself for weaknesses and fill the gaps where necessary.

 

 

 

Suggestion - The recommended course of action.�

 

Eihwaz

Do not allow yourself to give in to confusion. That which you have built may be in jeopardy of crumbling. During times of weakness, we often discover what we are made of.

 

 

 

The Outcome - What will happen if the suggestion is followed.

 

Ingwaz

Ingwaz signifies completion, success, agriculture and fertility. You are firing on all cylinders. You will soon be able to realise your ambitions. Unification, peace, and harmony are in the air.
