Will I finish the ride?

I am a sucker for anything divination related, because deep down, I believe that someone or something truly can portend the future… and that I can then go in and affect the outcome. So I went to the Runes section on facade.com and asked the question that’s been on my mind since I ate those four custard pasteries yesterday.

For those unaware, Runes are stones each emblazoned with a letter the old Futhark alphabet (think Nordic). Each letter is a symbol for some kinda something.

I did a single rune draw, which provides a simple yes or no answer. Yes, the Rune is in its correct, upright position. If reversed, the answer is no.

So I asked the big question, the one on everyone’s mind: “Is Dick Clark seriously going to appear on ABC on New Year’s Eve?”

Okay that was my second question.

Actually, the first one was: “Will I finish the ride?”

My answer:

“The rune represents the critical factor in the issue at hand. Dagez means daylight, and represents divine light. This rune generally refers to dawn (the initial sparking of energy) or to midday (the climax of energy). Both dawn and midday are symbolic of change, but unlike the changes in the perpetual circle of the year which are slow and subtle, the changes over a day are much faster and more dramatic. The breaking of a new day is symbolic of the rapid illumination of dismal circumstances, and is suggestive of Satori. Be careful – although this rune generally suggests a positive change, the symbology of a peaking point suggests that there must be a change downward as well. Fortunately for some, this rune is cyclic and irreversible, and so permanence is not promised – the only thing you can be sure of is an exciting ride.“
