When a baby is born, his or her Wyrd flows from ancestry, family, the place of their birth and the motion of the cosmos at that point.  Each new soul is said to receive gifts at the point of birth from their nornir, female spirits akin to the three Norns who might be viewed as ‘fairy god-mothers’ (giving both bad and good gifts).  Each half month and half-hour has a particular rune assigned to it, and your birth half-month and hour might therefore provide useful insights into runes whose power you will naturally be able to draw on through out your life.  Look up your birth runes here.  Work with my own birth runes and those of my fellow rune workers and students suggests that one of your birth runes will represent the strengths that come naturally to you, while the other represents strengths which you will have to work for (rising to the challenges the rune presents will help you to fulfill your own soul purpose).  If you would like to know more about your birth runes and your own soul purpose, then you can contact me by emailing magin@starfirealchemy.co.uk  for a reading.

I started exploring the rune calendar in August 2010 and the articles linked to below detail my own insights and experiences about each of the runes during their half months.  If you would like to join in my rune calendar investigations and share your own experiences as the year progresses then please do join the Rune Practitioner group on Facebook.

It cannot be denied that 24 runes fit very neatly into the 24 hours of the day and 12 months of the year.  Whatever and whenever the provenance of the half-month and hourly associations given for the runes, they are now part of the popular body of rune lore.
