#TuesdayRunes – Raidho

Welcome to another installment of our journey through the runes, based on The Elder Futhark Script.

Today we explore Raidho (rye-though).

Raidho is the rune of travel. This rune indicates you are setting off (or will soon set off) on a journey, whether in the external world or on an emotional or spiritual level.

If your travel is physical, it signals a pleasant experience with few or no mishaps. If you are on a spiritual quest, the going may require significant flexibility on your part, but the rewards of reaching your destination will be well worth it, as you are following your soul’s chosen path. Either way, you are advised to keep your focus on the experience of the journey itself, rather than on your arrival. This is because Raidho signifies not just the vehicle you ride in, but also the road you travel on. You will be best served by making the most of every moment along the way.

You may have to travel for unpleasant reasons or to a place you’d rather not visit. If this is the case, now is a good time to remember that all journeys yield lessons, and you will have an easier time of it if you can be in acceptance as much as possible, rather than resistance.

A related interpretation of Raidho is “reunion” – specifically the return of old friends in your life or the arrival of new people with whom you made a soul agreement before incarnating into this life. It is possible that you may be presented with a chance to resolve a disagreement or conflict with someone else or with yourself.

Some runic systems also view Raidho as an indicator that now is a good time for negotiations or deliberations related to agreements with others. Financially speaking, this rune can indicate that the time is right to buy or sell.

Finally, sometimes Raidho is simply a reminder to align yourself with the “wheel of life” Know that life has its ups and downs, ebbs and flows and constant seasonal changes. The contrast between opposites is part of the journey of life. If things are not going your way, take heart and know that nothing is permanent.

The birthdates Raidho is associated with is August 29th – September 13th.

Thank you for joining me for another in depth look into the magic of the runes!

  2. Another insightful interpretation, Jan. Thank you for the journey and the signposts along the way. You’re our compass! 💚

  3. Hi Jan–I’m really enjoying the various runes you are highlighting. There is a lot of universal truth with this Raidho rune. What I love most about traveling is the unexpected surprises on a trip. Hopefully, we’ll be able to travel again once the pandemic is under control.

    1. Hi, Linnea! I’m so glad you are enjoying the journey through the runes. I agree that there is a lot of Universal truth with this particular rune. Thank you so much for stopping by!

  4. I love the many aspects of “journey” this rune includes, like the journey to yourself, through specific tasks, resolving of situations or old stories, relationships. Awesome!

    1. I’m so glad you enjoyed the post, Erika. And, yes, this run does include several different aspects. I love that too. Thank you for stopping by!

  5. OK!
    I know you’re going through these in order but if ever something aligned itself with what’s going on in my life any better, I’m not sure when or what it was.
    That’s kinda scary!

    1. Lol, Patty. The Universe knows things on a different level than we do and the synchronicity is amazing! I’m glad you enjoyed the post, and thank you for reblogging!

    A trip sounds good right now, Jan. I have a vacation coming up, will have to see what it brings.

  7. This rune seems to be very universal in its applicability. I like the feature regarding the life wheel. Always a good thing to remember. Thanks, Jan.

    1. I would agree, John. Because of several aspects of the rune, it can apply in different situations. I also like the comparison to the life wheel. Thank you for stopping by!

  8. How interesting, Jan. This was the rune I picked for my week. 🙂 I had felt the shift spiritually several weeks ago and will embrace my journey.

  9. Travel. I vaguely remember what that is. My daughter’s graduation is coming up, followed by her wedding the week after, so I guess family and friends have a lot of it in our future. Seems appropriate.

    1. Lol, Staci. We are all in that same travel-deprived boat. But it sounds like you do have a lot of family and friends in your near future. Enjoy every moment of it! Thank you for stopping by!

  10. It’s been so long since I’ve done any physical traveling because of the pandemic. I’m hoping to change that this summer and fall. After so long, I will certainly savor those moments when they happen!

    1. Exactly, Mae. We’ve all been on travel restrictions. I do hope the summer brings about a reprieve. I am actually traveling a short distance this weekend to work at a music festival. So, I am embracing this rune! Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

    1. Oh, how awesome, Yvette! I think this is a BIG sign to savor every moment of it. Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment. Hugs!
