Raidho (ᚱ)

The road and the right rhythm.

Literal meaning: riding, journey · Freyr's aett, the first group of eight

In the old rune poems

The Old English poem jokes that riding seems easy to a man indoors but is hard on a long road; the Icelandic one calls it the rider's joy and a swift journey.

Light side

You move at your own pace and in good order; each step follows from the last, and the journey itself makes sense.

Shadow side

Planning a journey you never start, or rushing so fast you lose your rhythm and direction.

Drawing Raidho in a game of Leela

In Leela Atlas you can draw a card from the Elder Futhark runes when you land on a square. A bridging question links the card to the square, so the card speaks to your own question:

• Is your question about where you are going, or about how you are travelling?
• What does "Raidho" show you about your square?
• If "Raidho" were advice for your question, what would it say?
• Where do you meet "Raidho" in your life right now?
