Rune of the day - Forever?

So, I've been wanting to learn the Runes for a long time. A month or two ago, I went to Phoenix & Dragon in Atlanta, and bought some. I had tried making some a long time ago, but I lost a few of the pieces, and never actually finished. I thought it would be easier to buy them to start learning. I will make my own later. I will be drawing a rune a day, until I can remember their meanings. Today I drew Pethro. The following is a description of the rune from a website.



pendant from here


This is a rune of mystery. It involves hidden things, secrets and occult abilities. Drawing this rune is a good indication that something that has remained hidden is about to come to light. Perhaps there will be a disclosure of some secret. Unexpected gains and surprises are indicated. Along side of Thurisaz, Gebo or Hagall it could be an unearned gain of money. It may mean a gift, if so, look carefully at the motives behind it. In emotional matters, Perdhro indicates extreme sexual compatibility. Though if it is found with Uruz, Kenaz or Tir, this rune describes a relationship based solely on sex. In a predominantly negative runecast, Perdhro may mean an illness that is difficult to cure. This rune may also be and indication of strong intuition or occult ability.

Perdhro Reversed
Drawing Perdhro Reversed should tell you not to expect too much now. Events won’t turn out as you had hoped. Obstacles, as well as unpleasant secrets and surprises are indicated. If you are hiding something, it is about to be revealed. Things from your past that you may be hiding ( or hid so well you forgot about them) could very well come back to haunt you now. You should exercise caution. Someone may disappoint you. Possibly a disappointment involving money. Now is not the time to loan money or make new investments (especially when it involves a friend). You may be having sexual problems. If you draw Perdhro Reversed, you should stay away from any experimentation with occult forces.

Converse: A proposition has hidden depth. Take nothing for granted. Trust only your loved ones.

"If you draw Perdhro Reversed, you should stay away from any experimentation with occult forces."

Funny that this is the first rune I pulled when I wanted to start learning... I'm pretty sure I didn't pull it reversed though, as I remember seeing it in it's rightful position. Then again, I'm just learning. Pethro is a good rune for the learning of the occult. Hopefully this will work out :P
