| Runes - Writing From History |
| Othila |
| Runes. An alphabet from history, prehistory almost. There are many ascribed formats of runes, Celtic, Egyptian, Saxon, Norse to name but a few. Which are the "Real" runes - for this you must do your own research as I am not a scholar here, just a small Glasgow woman with many interests. As I make no claim to being a teller of fortunes or one who can see the future, anything you derive or define from this section of the site you bear full and sole responsibility for. |
| In the words of Burns, as he wrote from the heart. Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled, Scots, wham Bruce has aften led, Welcome to your gory bed, Or to victorie. Now's the day, and now's the hour; See the front o' battle lour; See approach proud Edward's power, Chains and slaverie. Wha would be a traitor-knave? Wha can fill a coward's grave? Wha sae base as be a Slave? Let him turn and flie: Wha for Scotland's king and law, Freedom's sword will strongly draw, Free-man stand, or free-man fa', Let him follow me. By Oppression's woes and pains! By your Sons in servile chains! We will drain our dearest veins, But they shall be free! Lay the proud Usurpers low! Tyrants fall in every foe! Liberty's in every blow! Let us Do - or Die!!! Choose your destiny. |
Note: Runes have been included in this site for a couple of reasons - firstly they were the ancient Norse
and have also been claimed to be the ancient Celtic form of writing, and secondly just because I happen
to have a personal interest there. Please note - all runic items on this website are for education,
dissemination of information and enjoyment / entertainment only.

Othila symbolizes a journey that is fraught with
separation, retreats, but is also likely to contain an
inheritance. It is a time to shed the old skins and
begin anew, perhaps a divorce is in the offing, or a
loved one is near to their last farewell in your life.
Othila is the rune of Radical Severance, however it
also has real property associated with it, and with
respect to real property it is a most benevolent
rune, associated with acquisition and benefits,
positive changes that are about to begin, however
as the severance is required, you may also have to
call upon some part of your cultural heritage, you
may even have to discard it in order to progress,
and only you can appreciate the magnitude of the
sacrifice called for.
