RUNES OF THE WHITE ROSE

When a rune is drawn as a card or thrown as a stone and comes up upside-down, it means the attribute is lacking. The right-side up means the attribute is present and dominant in the situation. A blank rune means the outcome awaits new potential to be accessed.

Cooperation with the Divine Plan

The situation is for the enhancement of all life. Upside down means self-centeredness is present.



Fertile possibilities

The possibilities of the situation could lead to many opportunities. Upside down means potential possibilities are being overlooked.


Cooperation and Partnership

Others and life’s circumstances will cooperate. If upside down, expect opposition.



Doorway of Transition

There is a decision ahead that will change the direction of life. There is no upside down position.

 

 


The Opportune Moment

The time is right when the rune is right side up. It is best to wait when it is upside down.

 

 


Indwelling Life

The situation should be dealt with by altering the non-physical. Upside down means the non-physical reality does not support the physical one.


Beneficial Outcome

Expect success when this rune appears right side up. It is best not to proceed if it is not.

Trust

Trust is present in that the situation is trustworthy or people are trusting.


Love

Love is present either in actuality or in potential.

 

 

 


Something is Overlooked

The correct answers come from the correct questions. Look over the situation again. If upside down, a critical oversight has been made.

 

 

 


Acknowledgement

Acknowledgement is coming for your achievements. If upside down, you are not acknowledging something or someone.

 




Gratitude

It is time to increase something in your life by focusing on it with gratitude. If upside down, it means what we are ungrateful for diminishes. Look to see which area of your life you are not gracefully accepting.


Ghosts From the Past

Do not relive past patterns that no longer serve. If upside down, you are being drawn into something that should be let go.


Birth

Something new is conceived; advantageous new beginnings.

 

 


Assistance

Assistance should be given. If upside down, assistance is needed.

 

 


Change of Destiny

Your destiny and the pattern of life ahead of you is about to change.

 

 


Foreign Element

A foreign element is about to enter the situation. This is like the proverbial wild card.

 


Creativity

There is a creative solution that enhances all involved. When upside down, creativity is being stifled.


Abundance

The situation will provide abundance in some form. If upside down, abundance will be withheld or reduced.

 


Learning

Learning is taking place. The sooner lessons are learned, the sooner you can move on. When upside down, you are failing to learn.


Guidance

Guidance is being given. When upside down, guidance is being ignored.

 


Harmonious Interaction

Harmonious interaction is the result of either being of one heart or one mind, as in having a similar vision or goal. When the divergence between visions is too great, inharmonious interaction results.


Change of Direction

Expect yourself or others to suddenly change directions. Take nothing at face value and be clear about what you feel.

 

 


Levitation

A time of expansion and growth. Cosmic assistance for your endeavors can be expected.




Hope

A possibility of success is strong enough for you to fix your eyes firmly on your goal and fan it with hope.





Loose Ends

You must not rest on your laurels even though things seem smooth on the surface. Multiple steps are required before the outcome is assured.

 




Incompletion

Right side up indicates good beginnings, but warns that many more steps are required to put the pattern in place and bring your desires to fruition. Upside down means that your initial steps are incorrect or will not bear fruit.


Humility

A spiritual warrior is being led on his journey by humility. This means not taking anything for granted and confessing that from our limited vantage point, we know nothing. We acknowledge that within the great scheme of things, no life is significant – even the smallest contribution can turn the tide.


Waiting for the Future

Cautions equanimity and poise while waiting for the next step to reveal itself. We do not go to the future, it comes to us.

 

 

 

 


Parallel Scenario

Your interpretation of a situation is at total variance with the facts or the way another person views it. If upside down, be cautious – there are agendas.

 

 

 

 


Return to Simplicity

Any situation can be reduced to one or two simple questions. Ask what it boils down to. Complexity is sometimes used by others to confuse you and hide true motives and agendas.

 


Dynamic Geometry

The true geometry of the cosmos moves without angles or joints. Perception of the static platonic solids results in illusion. Think out of the box, not allowing old belief systems to bind you to old behavioral patterns.


Source

Perception is required to discern the eternal principle at work. You are in an archetypal situation in which you represent more than yourself.

 

 


Luscious Possibilities

Serendipitous events await you. Awareness is key in seeing the endless possibilities before you.




Challenge

Life has issued a challenge to see if you are worthy of the power it wishes to bestow. Let humility lead you on with impeccability as a shield. Approach the situation with courage.


The Trickster

Goal can be achieved through either play or struggle. Keep your sense of humor. Fluidity is of great benefit.

 

 


Influence

Act with utmost care. Vast ramifications hang on your every action. When considering others, it is crucial to do that which makes your heart sings.

 

 


Inner Strength

Sometimes, life carries us and sometimes we have to go through birth pains to reach a higher level of existence. Let inner strength and discipline see you through the time ahead.

 


The Unknown

Obsessing about questions drains energy and lowers consciousness. Face the unknown before you with an empty mind and open heart, avoid the tendency to be confused.


Recognizing Sacredness

Recognize sacredness even in obscure places. Look beyond mundane appearances into the foundation of perfection underlying every soul and fueled by Source.

 

 


Imminent Explosion

Retreat and batten down the hatches. Try to remedy the situation, but be prepared for confrontation.

 




Flow

Time to hold on lightly to everything in your environment. Life is about to carry you into new possibilities. Trust the light of your mind and love in your heart to reach beneficial outcomes. Remain fluid.


Self-Government

Put your affairs in order and prepare for a growth spurt. Chaos can hold you back, so order in your environment, documents and relationships is required before the next step can manifest.

 




Negative Pole

You are over-polarized into doingness, the proactive masculine pole. Bring more balance to your life by being more receptive. This is necessary to reveal what is or is not life-enhancing.

 




Ancient Voices

What is about to occur comes from past existence. It is time for either completion or culmination. You have evolved to higher levels, so let your heart be your guide. Even soulmates may choose stagnation over growth and may need to be discarded. Baggage from the past must be let go.


Seeing Behind Appearances

Use caution, things are not what they seem. Watch for signs, like liens through a dot, to indicate reality behind the façade.

 

 




Ascension

Situations can be turned into ascension stepping stones through love, praise and gratitude. In the worse of circumstances, a glimmer of gratitude can loosen the ties that bind and set us free to ascend into higher consciousness.

 

 


Authenticity

Listen to the voice of your heart to hear truth. Deep meaning living takes place in the absence of social conditioning and labels. The rune indicates lack of authenticity present in yourself or others. Truth is not being properly reflected. Upside down means there is deliberate untruth.


Divine Assistance

Calling in multiple beings for divine assistance will be beneficial. Angels attempt to assist when we ask, but are more successful in some situations than others. It is difficult for them to affect the physical; however, some areas of physicality may be more easily affected by changing the etheric realms.


Knowledge

More facts are needed before discernment can take place at the cognitive levels. Though the heart is the ultimate judge, the jury is still out – it doesn’t have enough facts.

 

 

 


Recovery

There will be gradual change for the better after hardship. Cooperate fully with changes that feel appropriate so positive results can manifest.

 

 

 

 


White Magic

An opportunity to make life more uplifting and wholesome through use of incorruptible white magic. Restoration of white magic is at hand and an applicable situation for its use is before you.


Closure

Time to close off that which no longer serves a purpose in your life. List all pros and cons and eliminate with grace that which does not enhance.

 

 


Spiritual Gift

A spiritual gift will be found in an unexpected place. Watch carefully. Even the mundane can produce abiding gifts.

 




Shining Your Light

Not the time to hang back, but to step out of obscurity. Time to be center stage whether in leadership or in simply expressing your gifts.

 

 


Required Action

Indicates you are over-polarized into inactivity and need to counterbalance this by being proactive. Over-polarization into either the masculine or feminine produces stagnation and slows growth.


Celebration

Find the high points in your life and celebrate them. The spirit of celebration gives acknowledgement, increasing the positive in our lives.

 


Self-Work

Time to uproot a specific law in your perception or to gain insights from experiences. When overdue, life unpleasantly forces us into introspection. Set aside for self-work.


Consideration

Yours or another’s feelings need to be considered. The quality of the journey is as important as the goal. Ask what candles can be lit to shed light on the path.


Exchanging Gifts

Everyone you meet in your day comes to give a gift and to receive one. The rune indicates this principle needs to be applied. Be generous with your praise and receive it openly.


Removal of Limitations

Many fail to recognize new opportunities because they imagine old limitations to be in place. This is the time to take more risks than normally. Have faith in your ability to accomplish what previously seemed unobtainable.


Speaking From the Heart

Time for you to voice your feelings or to allow someone else to do so, and then truly listen. In this type of communication, feelings should be valid motivators in searching for new solutions.


Instinctual Nature

Known to some as “wild woman” or “green man”, it needs to express. This sub-personality is the source of new potential; allow it to come out of the box.

 

 


Ritual

Personal and family rituals can create meaningful moments and provide structure to family life. Spiritual rituals create focus to manifest intent. An opportunity to incorporate ritual into your life is before you.


External Guidance

Be specific about a question you want answered, then watch for signs in your environment. Trust what you see. Your question is being answered.

 

 


Illumination

An influx of light is about to occur in your life. Take time to digest the insights that will be yours. It is a gift of grace that will bring changes for the better.

 

 


Prosperity

A chance to prosper in a specific area of your life. When that window of opportunity opens, be prepared to put your labor and energy into it.




Kindred Spirit

When kindred spirits meet, the effects ripple throughout Creation. The synergy of souls augments the effects of such interaction. A meeting with a kindred spirit is before you.


Surprising Results

Right side up, the rune promises unforeseeable, but pleasant results. Flexibility is your best ally. Upside down, unforeseen results could be an unpleasant surprise.


Acknowledging Individuality

Knowledge of self or another is needed in the specific situation to which the rune applies. Understanding our own and other’s strong and weak points is very helpful in creating a proper life strategy.


Mystical Experience

A mystical experience such as a communication from the hidden realms or the spirit world is imminent. Take time for stillness to allow it to happen and live with heightened awareness.

 


Manifesting Potential

Previously unseen opportunities are lurking around you as potential. Pay attention to your feelings, however irrational, and observe signs in your environment that indicate areas to pursue.


Pretentiousness

Something is seen for more than it is. It can also be the case that though something is realistically seen, its value to your life may be overestimated.

 

 


Change of Attitude

Your own or another’s attitude is blocking the way to creativity and birth of the new. It must be adjusted.

 

 

 


Mastery

Mastery results from living in the silence of the mind, but within the full range of our emotions. Do not permit yourself to be pulled out of the deep strength at the core of your being, your connection to Source.


Unfoldment

A portion of yourself or other(s) is not fully expressing. Nurture all areas of your life into their unfolding.

 

 

 

 


Freedom

Time to break the shackles of the value systems imposed by others. Question the origin of your motives and how strongly seeking approval of others has imprisoned your life.

 

 


Raising the Kundalini

True strength and creative power arise when proactive and reception portions of our life are in balance as the energy of the spinal column flows freely. This rune advocates responsible sexuality and sensuality as ways to promote the flow of energy.


Mirror

The situation before you is a reflection of something you need to look at in your own life. To change the mirror, the change must begin within. We generally pull in mirrors of that which we are, have yet to develop or of what we think we have lost along the way.


Fluid Support

When life supports us, it is often fluid, unexpected and not easily discerned. Fluid support indicates we have aligned ourselves with the Will of the Infinite and the Source of Power.

 

 


Eliminate Protectiveness

In a cosmos where perfection underlies appearances, protectiveness is not a true cosmic frequency. It leaks energy and creates obstruction in the flow of events. The rune counsels you to replace protectiveness with trust.


Accomplishment

That which has taken effort or toil is about to yield results. From now on, your efforts will pay off. Expect support in helping to birth the new.

 

 


Dignity

An area of your life needs to be treated with more respect and dignity. It could simply be the acknowledgement of another’s worth and the reverence for another life.


Different Approach

A change of strategy may be needed. The current flow of life may now be flowing in a different direction or your initial assessment must be re-thought.

 


Flowering of the Heart

A relationship is about to receive increased love and understanding to help it blossom. Recognizing everyday heroism in a friend can bring deeper respect and love.

 


The Greater Cause

It is time to throw your support behind a greater cause. The rune could indicate that you must set aside individual differences and function from one heart and a common vision.

 


Perception Changes

A series of swift perception changes could occur, meriting treating yourself and others with a great deal of flexibility. Life is in a state of flux around you; opposing the current would weaken your position.


Trail Blazing

Do not seek outside advice, but be prepared to find yourself in a unique situation. Unexplored territory lies ahead and only the signs in your environment can guide you through.

 

 


Tribunal

Time for dues to be paid and justice done. Karma pertaining to this life is being called in. If upside down, expect injustice.

 

 

 


The Messenger

A message of importance will be delivered. Sit in quietness with pen and paper in case it comes from other kingdoms in the hidden realms. The message may also come through a sure sign in your environment. Be aware enough to see it.


Augmentation

The small shall become large. Multiple contributions will bring fulfillment of a larger goal. By working on all aspects of your dream, it can come to full realization.

 

 




Nurturing Into Fruition

Gentle coaxing is required to bring into full fruition that which is in its tender beginnings. Patience and gentleness coupled with perseverance will yield surprising results.

 

 

 

 


Overestimation

It is unfair to yourself and others to expect behavior indicative levels of consciousness not actually possessed by another. Overestimating another simply because you do not like to look at flaws puts unfair pressure on them and sets you up for disappointment. If upside down, you are underestimating someone.
