Raidho - Sonne Hagal

The rune revealed

You have chosen Raidho

Or has it chosen you?

Raidho, the wheel, movement

Accept it

Because things are always changing

You are being called to places

You would rather not inhabit

You are being called to change

To movement

Inertia has overtaken me

You cry aloud

But Raidho says

Things are always in motion

It is hard work to remain inert

To resist life with as much force

As life exerts to draw you to it

You have embraced inertia

In a languid passionate grip

Wanting things to stay the same

Fearing

But my friend, sweet lad

Even under ice

Life is shifting, growing, moving

Nothing stays still for very long

If at all

And Raidho is calling you

The way the sound of carriage wheels on a gravel road

Bells around a horse’s neck

The crack of a slow whip

Hooves, bucking legs

Signify motion

Shhhh… listen

Put your ear to the ground

Movement is about to begin

Why resist?

Embrace your life force

Raidho is calling you

Whispering

We are all spokes in the wheel of life

Spin the wheel!

Life is turning

Life is changing

With or without you

But you add unnecessarily

To everyone struggle

A burden

When you refuse to move

We must move you

Against your will

As the wheel turns

The wheel of life

Raidho is calling you

Inviting you to move freely

Will you stretch out your hand?
