Default Post 6: Making more runes
There's some good in this world and it's worth fighting for| LOTR|Whovian|Sherlock Fan

Alyssa checked the runes that she had already made before turning back to her textbook and referring to the next Runic alphabet in the Elder Futhark which was Raidho, the rune representing travel, change and cosmic order. The Rune for Raidho looked like an alphabet R, so picking up the gouging tool, Alyssa picked p one of the pieces of wood and proceeded to gouge out the lines forming the rune. As she gouged, she concentrated on what the rune represented and chanted silently in her mind,'RAIDHO...RAIDHO'. When she was done, she brushed off the wood splinters before placing the finished rune next to the others.

Next came the Rune Kenaz. According to her book, Kenaz represented fire, spiritual understanding and the restoration of self confidence. From the design representing Kenaz, the rune looked like a sideways V. Selecting another piece of wood, and picking up her gouging tool, Alyssa was able to finish this rune faster than the rest. But she still made sure that when she was making it that she was concentrating on it's representation and repeated 'KENAZ, KENAZ' silently in her mind as she made it. She laid aside her finished rune, stretcher her back and neck for awhile as they were starting to ache.

Alyssa looked at her textbook and counted the number of runes she still had to make.18 more?? Alyssa knew that if she continued to use the gouging tool, it would take her hours to finish making all of them, so she decided that she would use her wand instead. She was confident that she would be able to use the Intaglio spell to make the others because she had already done it twice before today and both times the rune she carved out worked. So laying aside the gouging tool, Alyssa unholstered her wand.

She reviewed her textbook and saw that Gebo was the next rune she had to make. Gebo represented gifts and sacrifice. She was glad that is rune was simple to make especially for her first attempt using her wand. The Rune for Gebo looked like an X. So picking up her wand, Alyssa said ,"INTAGLIO", pointed it at the piece of wood and carved out an X on it, while saying "GEBO...GEBO" along with the spell.

Now that she was moving along, she made the next three runes in succession, Wunjo which represented joy and pleasure and looked like a letter P, Hagalaz which represented the wrath of nature and balance of power and looked like the letter H and Nauthiz which looked like a short small t and represented success, endurance, survival and determination. Picking up her wand, and pointing at the piece of wood she selected, Alyssa said "INTAGLIO" and carved the rune Wunjo onto it while saying "WUNJO...WUNJO...WUNJO". She then placed her completed rune aside and pointing her wand at another blank piece of wood, she said, "INTAGLIO" carving the rune Hagalaz, while chanting it's name as she was carving out the lines. Now for Nauthiz. Alyssa selected another piece of blank wood and pointing her wand at it, said "INTAGLIO" again and began to carve out the rune with her wand while chanting,"NAUTHIZ...NAUTHIZ". Once she was done, Alyssa decided to rest for a moment, as making runes required a lot of concentration and she needed to rest her mind and just sit back and enjoy the fresh air and the sun while she still was able to.
