Horse Shoe Layout #1

 

The seven-card Horse Shoe is a convenient, basic layout that can be used to answer different types of questions, especially concerning questions where insight would be helpful. Like several other layouts, it has runes representing the past, present, and future.

The pinnacle of the Horse Shoe, looking like the top of the mountain, shows the obstacle or challenge that needs to be addressed and overcome. Rune #6 suggests a course of action to meet this challenge. The final rune shows the outcome or future, should this advice be followed.

Other clues are provided in Runes #3 and #5, which indicate hidden or outside influences that come into play, affecting the journey to your goal.

The Present Rune represents the current state or immediately approaching influence.

 

Perthro

The "Gambler's Rune" reversal warns that this is not a good time to take risks. Games of chance are not favoured. Do not give in to loneliness and despair.

 

 

 

Hidden Influences - Things that you may not be aware of, or barely be aware of.

 

Naudhiz

This rune warns to tread lightly. There may be friction in relationships and unmet needs. Sometimes hard lessons are necessary in life. Some things we just don't want to learn. Be careful not to burn your bridges.

 

 

 

Obstacle - This is the challenge.

 

Laguz

The feminine rune stands for strong fertility, as in deep sensuality. Laguz represents the life cycle of water in its different forms – constant renewal and rebirth. Femininity and intuition.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

External Influences - Attitudes about this situation from people around the querent.

 

Fehu

This is one of the mother stones – the rune of unbridled creative energies. Being associated with Frey, this Rune is a powerful omen of fertility. The presence of this rune in a reading only adds weight to its meaning.

 

 

 

Suggestion - The recommended course of action.�

 

Othala

Othala reversed represents chaos and hopelessness. A general lack of roots can even lead to homelessness. Take care of that which you have, or you could end up losing more than you can imagine.

 

 

 

The Outcome - What will happen if the suggestion is followed.

 

Isa

The Ice Rune represents stagnation and a cold, passionless reality. Your life may seem to be going nowhere at the moment, but if you persevere you will soon see better days.
