Hello friends my name is Arith Härger and today I'm going to talk about the rune Raido/Raidho
the rune means "to ride" or associated with "wagon", roughly translated
it's associated with "the journey", this rune is connected with the journey of life
movement, what drives you to take action, initiative, being in control
and making your own decisions to achieve your goal while you are in a certain path towards an objective
this is a rune associated with the human need to find
the right path and sometimes the inability to understand what's right and
what's wrong gives us fear, the fear to take responsibilities
and that same fear leads us to a state of lifelessness
passivity, and Raido helps to give the first step to start our journey
so this rune will help to establish a creative rhythm in your activities
Raido is also associated with the symbol of the wheel, representing a circular movement
because in nature everything has a certain rhythm, a cycle
ever in circles but always in movement towards the future going, forward
the idea of reaching a goal is not the end but a transformation and a new beginning for
another journey to reach a new objective in order to evolve
now let's talk about the mythology concerning this Rune to better understand its essence
this rune is associated with the horse as a vehicle of transportation so the most
obvious mythological association is with Odin's famous eight-legged horse
Sleipnir
which can carry Odin to all the nine cosmic worlds of creation
However, this rune is also connected to the god Ing
the sort of Teutonic version of the Norse fertility God Freyr
Ing was a deity of great importance to the early Anglo-Saxons and was a God associated with horses
so it's no coincidence when the Anglo-Saxons first came to the
shores of Britain during the 5th and the 6th century they bore the banner of the
White Stallion which remains the emblem of the county of Kent to this day in southern England
and, well... the name England itself owes its very name to this god
anyway the horse has always been a powerful animal
in many cultures, in ancient Europe it was the prime means of land transportation, for instance
and the vehicle by which people could travel great distances
as such the animal became one of the most highly valuable domestic animals
we have a variety of myths in Norse mythology concerning horses
a horse which pulls the Sun, a horse which pulls the moon - Skinfaxi and Hrímfaxi - for instance
and of course in archaeological evidences of burial context
we find that horses were the chosen animals to sacrifice when rituals
were of great importance or the people to whom the funerary rituals had been performed
were also of great importance
there is a rune which is much more
associated with the horse as an animal that is Ehwaz and the rune literally means "horse"
but Raido is associated with the act of riding a horse
there are profound shamanistic associations linked to the concept of riding
riding on horseback is the symbology of a spiritual journey into the world of the spirits
the domain of the gods and the ancestors and since this is a rune
associated with rhythm, well... the rhythm of the drum plays an important role in
the shamanic ritual, the drum itself in shamanic terms is referred to as the
"shamans horse" the vehicle the shaman uses for the awareness of other realities
in Norse mythology one of the best references to a shamanic tradition
is when Odin journeys down the world tree Yggdrasil
in his quest for the runes,
Yggdrasil literally means "Odin's horse"
but you can watch my video about that subject, I leave a link down below in the description
anyway this account is widely recognized as a shamanic journey to the Otherworld
now let's talk about the meaning of this rune and let's start with its upright position
when this rune is drawn in a rune-reading in its upright position
this rune is associated with journeys of all kinds
and I keep on repeating this precisely so you can nteriorize this concept
so journeys both of the outer world and your personal journeys
it's important to understand that the runes don't tell you what to do, they give you advice
so when Raido appears in a rune-reading it advises you to use judgment in your
next course of action and acting honorably
ask yourself which is the right course, the right path to take, don't act impulsively
take your time to ponder your decisions before you start your next journey, wait, and while you wait
work on the restrictions which are preventing you from moving on
solve what's left behind and what you have been avoiding so you can move forward without looking back
since this is a rune connected with the act of riding
it gives us the association of journeying and adventure, and life is full of surprises and possibilities
so indeed it is a great adventure, but the road we travel along
may not always be easy but remember that eventually at the end of
every adventure all the trials and tribulations encountered along the way
will be worth it when you achieved something when you receive your rewards
as always the journey is in the direction of self-healing, self-change
to evolve and attain the perfect union and balance, but such things cannot be forced
so control any excesses in your life
as I've told you
all runes give you advice but when Raido appears the advice is precisely not to take the advice of others
it is your own judgment that will outweigh any other point of view
keep your own counsel and once your mind is made up
do not waver from your course
now the meaning of this rune in its inverted position
Raido suggests that you may be having troubles along this new journey of yours
there is a strong feeling that you are going nowhere, don't get stuck in fear
and other negative responses to your current situation
it's like riding a horse, adapt to the horse's rhythm, if you hold the reins too tightly and force
too much control, you will break the rhythm, you will break the balance
we all want to be in control of our own lives but the truth is that we can't
control that much due to a variety of factors, sometimes it doesn't depend on
the power we have, each Power has its limitations
when this rune appears inverted disruption of your plans are inevitable but that doesn't mean you can
abandon the path, the road seems dangerous, a lot of hazards, difficulties
but don't be disheartened, keep the faith because this troublesome period will not last forever
the requirements that are necessary for your evolutionary process
may be totally out of alignment with your intentions
inconveniences, maladjustments, blockages and even failure may be opportunities to correct
the coordinates of your path
all right friends thank you so much for watching
and I forgot to tell you that during this month of September I will be out in
archeological excavations, so if I don't get back to you as soon as it's normal
if I don't answer your questions as usual you will know why
I will be a little bit busy
so once again thank you so much for watching see you on the next video
and of course "Tack för idag!"
