I’ve been asked countless times through the years “How can the Runes help me if I have an issue at work/school/ etc.?” While it is always preferable to consult the runes when you have no other distractions, sometimes the issue at hand just can’t wait until those “quiet times”. So my answer to the question is: “The Oracle can be a guide on the fly, so to speak, and provide direction to the matter at hand”.

The type of casting that works best in these pressure situations is the single or “Odin’s Rune”. All you need to do is to focus on the issue and mentally ask “What is it about this situation that I need to know?” The Runic Oracle will provide you with an answer that will allow you focus on the potential that the matter holds and, in doing so, will help guide your actions in responding to it.

I have carried a set of “pocket runes” in my brief case for years for just these kinds of situations These small sets are available from a wide variety of sources both in the “brick-and mortar” world and on the Internet as well. When a situation arises that seems to call for guidance, it is never difficult to take five minutes or so, close my office door, and pull a rune.

As with any type of activity, the more you use the runes, the easier it will be to allow yourself to be “open” to the messages that the Oracle will provide. Obviously, there will be those matters that require a deeper, more comprehensive casting.  For the immediate future, however, the single rune reading can calm the mental waters until a more thorough reading can be done under better conditions.

A second use for Runes during the work day (or school, etc) is a source of meditation. How many times have you found yourself, literally, wound so tight under the pressure of a situation that you felt you would snap? By mentally forming a picture of the rune and concentrating on its meanings, you can help yourself take the “pause that refreshes”.

An example of Runic meditation would be along these lines: Say you were faced with a deadline for a project which you didn’t think you could make. During lunch, you found a quiet spot (maybe your car), and relaxed focusing on the Rune Sowelu. This rune embodies the sun and a search for wholeness within. Your breathing slows and you begin to feel a warmth within-much like be kissed by the rays of the sun. After a few minutes, you look around and the murkiness and heaviness that had burdened you has faded. You return to work on the project feeling renewed and confident that, ultimately, this is a task that you can handle.

Whether used to help guide you through an uncertain issue or a source of renewal through meditation, the Runes have their place in your day-to-day world. And, remember, ultimately, there are no accidents.
