Air
(wind, future, change, ideas). Not a
true Ancient Norse Rune but one I use for practice from other runic alphabets.
Air we cannot see,
Swirls of laughter and music.
Air is the element that we breathe into our busy
lungs.
Air
is the element of the East, connected to the soul and the breath of life. If
you’re doing a working related to communication, wisdom or the powers of the
mind, Air is the element to focus on. Air carries
away your troubles, blows
away strife, and carries positive thoughts to those who are far away. Air is
associated with the colors yellow and white.
Breath
is a divine gift, returned to the giver at death. We take Air into us which contains vital
energy. When we breathe in deeply we
inhale this life force and rhythmic breathing exercises helps to attune you to
the powers of Air.
The
voice of the Air spirits is heard in the wind. There were many scared groves
where the voices of spirits were heard in the wind whispering in the
trees. The powers of Air are also
concerned with the intellect, the powers of the mind, knowledge, logic,
inspiration, information, teaching, memory, thought and communication. Like the
other elements, the powers of Air can be constructive or destructive. The
gentle breeze cools and brings the life giving rain, but it can become the
destructive hurricane.
The
movement of Air can tell us many things. It can bring the scent of spring,
letting you know if the warming season will be early or late. Or in some folk legends in various cultures
supported the belief that the dead could ride on the winds. It is for this reason that the symbol of Air
is like a two-edged sword.
