As the children answered, Professor Beryl added their responses to the board, plus a few of her own.

SPOILER!!: Difficulties and Benefits when identifying Runic Correlations

"So, you're all seeing that there are a variety of benefits as well as difficulties that you might come across when comparing rune meanings to the meanings found in other systems. Its important to be aware of these limitations and understand that a main purpose of finding these correlations is to stretch your intuitive muscles so to speak. The more you study runic correlations, the better equipped you will be to interpret how your runes fall when you are runecasting in a way that is not limited to only whichever meanings are listed in this or that text. You do not want to box yourself in. Keeping an open mind is key to developing your abilities." Professor Beryl said, looking around at their faces.

"Now, we're moving on to our main activity and the final portion of today's lesson." Professor Beryl said. "You've all considered runes that could be associated with your MBTI type, and we've touched on other Rune correspondences- some of which we will learn more about in other lessons before Christmas break." After which they'd move on to Runecasting.

"We're going to try and make a master list of correlations between the MBTI types and the Elder Futhark, and based on your work so far, we will discuss our choices together." Professor Beryl said. She tapped the board and a list of the 16 MBTI types appeared, ready for runes to be listed alongside them, and the traits from their handouts below as a reminder.

"Our 'rules' for this activity: Every rune must be used at least once, and lets say a maximum of four runes for any one type. There are sixteen types, and twenty-four runes, so naturally there won't be an exact mapping between the two systems." That was the point, in many ways.

When you provide answers, I'd like you to also look at other types aside from your own if you feel you can do so. Everyone is encouraged to discuss the runes and interpretations. This means if you agree or disagree, you can speak up and say so - but you should give reasons to support your interpretation." Professor Beryl said.

"We are doing this activity as a class, not in groups." She added. "So please continue to raise your hands before you speak, and listen politely to anyone else who is speaking up." Communication was important, wasn't it? And giving everyone the chance to feel equally heard.

"For anyone who prefers to work alone, you may make your own list on your handout if you like, but I do expect everyone to contribute to the class list in some way, please. Lets begin."

Nibbling on her lip, Holly nodded to the Professor with a small smile as she continued to write up her notes… She had a feeling that she would need them all at a later date… you know, for homework or studying or exams. So yeah, important. So down she wrote; their ideas, Professor Beryl’s additions and each idea that popped up.

Runes… seemed fascinating - but so steeped in interpretation.

Though, she could likely get over that for learning this. Hopefully.

As the Professor moved them on, she looked at the list of MBTI type’s and the Elder Futhark trying to find a correlation that she thought would hold up until scrutiny.

Putting her hand in the air when she had something, she smiled at the Professor and at Tina. ”Professor, I think raidho is potentially more of a ISTJ rune as it displays traits like leadership, the ability to see what is good and bad … and being able to take action on the decisions made.” Her voice was soft and slow, as if she was trying to put together her reasoning on the spot. ”I thought that Fehu might be better suited to INTP… because …. It has the ability to be mobile, it is connected to luck and is said to have lots of energies linked to it… I thought that these might help those who have a more creative personality.”

Annnd now she could hide. And take notes. Lots of notes.

SPOILER!!: Difficulties and Benefits when identifying Runic Correlations difficulties: -systems may not map over one another directly - overgeneralizing between meaning systems -nuance in meaning may be lost when comparing across languages or cultures -having to memorize a wide range of meanings to be able to apply them -the interpreters are not consistent, so their interpretations will also differ -some people may want to twist the meanings to their benefit benefits: - helps to find ways to understand others and look for similarities across cultures - can simplify understanding of difficult concepts - encourages an open-mind - with practice helps clarify and identify consistent meanings in the runes - practice for applying intuition when runecasting "So, you're all seeing that there are a variety of benefits as well as difficulties that you might come across when comparing rune meanings to the meanings found in other systems.
