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.

This rune is about walking the line and holding things in balance. There may be conflict, hardship and obstacles, but be assured that remaining focused and in control of yourself will make these difficulties easy. This rune symbolises protection from one's enemies.

 

 

 

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

 

Fehu

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

 

Mannaz

This sign indicates a down time, perhaps depression. Now may not be the best time to make important decisions. If you are not thinking clearly, put your trust in those you have always trusted. This may not be the best time to make new friends.

 

 

 

Obstacle - This is the challenge.

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

 

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.

 

 

 

Suggestion - The recommended course of action.�

 

Ansuz

This signifies communication difficulties. Disconnection with the self may lead to missed opportunities and personal failures. In times of uncertainty, do not give in to rumour.

 

 

 

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 see better days.
