This Rune may indicate the beginning of an apprenticeship in acquiring knowledge, extra skills and experience necessary to nurture natural talents. Learn all you can and strive for the best and highest.  Intellectual attainment and spiritual transformation through the runes is possible.  Language is a gift as so are the runes.  Use them all wisely. Some mischief may be a foot when drawn depending on the question or circumstance of the reading.  Beware of smooth talkers, get rich schemes, and tricksters.  A confusing atmosphere can prevent you from discerning fact from fiction.  Must be careful and alert sometimes to signs of the trickster.  Sometimes is it necessary for us to learn from these experiences and make changes in our lives in order to grow as an individual and spiritually as well.
