Did some work with it tongiht. Got MUCH better results.
I started by laying out an offering (bread, fruit, honey, wine, pure water, milk), and basically inviting the goddesses that I normally deal with (Brigid, Minerva, Athena to a lesser extent mainly because I haven't had any big moments with her as with the other two) to ask them for their blessing and assistance. Not something I normally do, but I had this feeling that it was appropriate.
I laid out six runes in total, in order: hagalaz, sowulo, mannaz, perf(p), ingus, kenaz. I drew them randomly from the bag, becuase I was really trying to get a random interplay rather than a tight formation. According to the book I have here, though, 3-4 of them are directly related to healing, and apparently hagalaz CAN be used for healing IF its healing through destruction.
The first three were in a triangle in the "center" of the house, and seemed to sit there pretty firmly. The house seemed to waver a bit around them, but the runes themselves remained firm.
Perf(p, not entirely sure what the letter is) was placed next in a seperate area at the bottom, with several sticks hovering directly over it. The minute it was in place the house seemed to firm up and stop moving. It was interesting to note that the "roof" near hagalaz was still a bit insubstantial, as if it was barely containing the rune.
I then formed a "room" off to the left, in which I drew ingus and kenaz. The house became pretty solid then, and even the "roof" over hagalaz firmed up and stopped wavering. Everything seemed to click together pretty well, though I kept getting the impression that hagalaz was the "alpha" rune in the bunch. Not entirely sure why.
I have a few photographs of the whole thing at its completition.
Gave thanks where thanks was due for assistance, and that was that. |
