it just doesnt seem to jive for me. Any thoughts?

It depends, I've thought of it as Inner fire, but opportunity it is not. Jera is the Rune for that. It's not an offer either, that's Gebo. It is inspiration, which can come in interesting ways, but Kenaz is on the smallest scale. The Torch burns out quickly, while the sun or the day last much longer.

P.S. I'm in Cincinnati! :-D
P.S.S. My spelling is awful and my work uses Internet Explorer 5.1.91 ...seriously. Thus, i don't have spell check.

Well, take a look a the Runes and see where you get. They aren't really that complex though, but I'd say they are very tightly knit. You can choose to look at the finer details of it, but I just keep it simple for the most part.

I may be interested in runes. I always kind of know when the tarot cards are lying to me, but I like to play with them anyway. A friend had me pick on once and she said it was about a car I tried 3 more times and picked the same darn one.
I know nothing really, so teach away.

I have written down things about the Runes before, but there are plenty of good sources around the internet. The Alphabet I use is the Elder Futhark. It takes up a lot of time and space to explain everything, so my philosophy right now is, give it the good college try, and come here with any questions.

That makes sense. But that leads me to my next question. Suppose Kenaz came up in a spread in a "distant past" position? How would you read it?

If it was reversed, I'd probably say False Hope. If not, Insight would be my first guess. It all depends though. With either one, I'd be wondering what it's regarding.

Exactly...which is why I question it. The spread I was using was basically a past-present-future but over a person's life.... The first position, which was "Distant Past", I interpreted as birth. Kenaz was in that position which made it difficult to read....
Thanks for the help!

If it doesn't feel like it's answering the question you asked, make sure it isn't answering something else. Sometimes the Runes have better questions to answer than the ones you asked.

i will have a "set" of runes very soon, so i may very well be here asking advice :) i've always been very interested in runes, just never got around to it lol.
hopefully i'll be able to gain some insight to the runes when they arrive :)
brilliant idea this thread :)

I'm a bit sceptical about this. Out of curiosity i made a set of Elder Furthark Runes myself this summer, having no idea about their meanings, and i still don't ! Fact is i google for interpretations every time i do a reading, keeping what resonates witin me as appropriate in every case. I let the whole thing be instinctual and from what people say the readings are quite accurate. I could be wrong but i tend to trust gut instincts, they're seldom wrong contrary to "conscious" thought that often deceives us.

If your going to use something, you should well know what your using and how it works. It's not being very honorable to just do everything by the book, regardless of the tricks you use with it.
