Rune Series 5/24
First Row (Aett): Raidho
Meaning: 'Ride', 'Journey'
Associated English letter: R
Raidho is the journey of life: its stories, heroisms, motion, initiative and adventure. It is the road towards self-mastery and knowledge. If Ansuz tells the stories, Raidho lives them.
The journey is inside, as well as outside. This rune reminds us to live in the present and let go of unnecessary past fears and experiences.
"The journey is the destination."

The Runes of this series belong to the Elder Futhark, one of the oldest alphabets in recorded history. Each Rune has endless interpretations and deep meanings; while their origin and/or intent is lost to history, most interpretations come from the 'Rune Poems', possibly written around the 8th century.
