| Runes - Writing From History |
| Uruz |
| 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 for I am not a scholar, 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. |
Robert Bruce - I
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.

| Uruz |
Symbolizing strength, manhood, womanhood, and
watched over by the Wild Ox. Uruz indicates that the life
you have been living has outgrown it's form, and that as
with all things that form must now be released, allowed
to die, so that a new form may be born and allowed to
mature. This is a rune of passage.
Affirmative change and correct growth may involve a
descent into dark places for the full realization to be
achieved, just as the acorn must be buried by the soil
for the mighty Oak to develop. Remember, there are
five aspects to this life, and they revolve eternal,
than the old, for such is the nature of things.
Often opportunity is disguised as a loss, but there is a
silver lining to every cloud, and although this rune may
represent the loss of an intense emotional bond, it will
also be the start of a new. Approach the universe with
humility, trust, belief in yourself and honour, and
remember that those who rule best, serve best.
