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.

 

Uruz

This symbolises a disconnection from one's spiritual source. If you are in a rut, you may need to reconnect with your roots, to rediscover your strengths.

 

 

 

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

 

Jera

This rune literally means "year" and stands for the harvest of a good year's labours. It represents a permanent change for the better.

 

 

 

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

 

Tiwaz

The Warrior Rune represents pure, masculine power and the ability to fight for what you want and win it. Be careful to mitigate your aggression, as the cost of attaining your goals can outweigh the gains.

 

 

 

Obstacle - This is the challenge.

 

Berkano

The Rune of birth may symbolise a time of great personal insight and development. Naturally this is also a sign of abundance and fertility, so love may very well be in the air.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

Othala

Othala represents a fortress of prosperity and security. Good character attracts good fortune. Those who have it are the ones who get it. That's simply the way things are. You are fortunate to be one of the lucky ones. At the same time, we all make our own luck.

 

 

 

Suggestion - The recommended course of action.�

 

Wyrd

The blank rune is 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.

 

 

 

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

 

Isa

The Ice Rune represents stagnation and a cold, passionless reality. Your life may seem to be going nowhere at the moment, but if you persevere you will soon move on to better days.
