POSSIBLE DIVINATORY MEANING: When drawing this Rune, it is a good time to remember that it is much better to think on something carefully rather than act on it too soon and do the wrong thing. Any parent understands this Rune firsthand.  Children often make demands of their parents that if they did not think about carefully, could result in pain and constraint for all! Drawing this Rune encourages weighing all possibilities carefully before committing oneself and the ability to say "no" if necessary. It is also good to remember that sometimes this is something you need to experience but did not ask for!  Patience and inner wisdom will aid in making the correct choice which will lead to the right accomplishment in the end. We can't always make the right judgment or give the right answer.  Through pain, suffering and necessity, we learn while our will and our character are strengthened.  Let you heart rule with the right kind of love when dealing with others.  Do not lose your temper.  Accept what has happened, keep your faith firm and restrain your impulses.
