Field Note No. 3 – Kenaz

πŸœ‚ Field Notes: Lore and Logic β€” Kenaz (ᚲ)

Kenaz (ᚲ) β€” the torch that burns away ignorance and reveals the hidden architecture of things. Its light is not the cold glare of analysis, but the living fire of understanding β€” the creative flame that shapes matter and meaning alike. In ancient hands, Kenaz signified the forge and the hearth: where metal was transformed, and where stories were born. Within, it is the illumination that follows inquiry, the spark that leaps when curiosity meets insight. Kenaz does not beg to be seen; it teaches you to see. To work with this rune is to tend your inner fire β€” not to burn brighter than others, but to bring warmth and clarity to the darkness you inhabit.

Field Note No. 02 – Raidho, the sacred journey

Raidho (ᚱ) β€” the rune of the road, rhythm, and right motion. I use this rune a lot in my art, since it signifies what we all do every day: walk our path, journey through the seasons, mark life’s passages.

It speaks of movement not just through space, but through purpose β€” the sacred act of aligning one’s path with divine order. In ancient times, Raidho marked the rider’s journey and the turning of the wheel of life, a reminder that every step taken in rhythm with the cosmos becomes a form of prayer. In the modern sense, it invites mindful travel β€” to move with intention, to trust timing, to steer the inner vehicle with both discipline and grace. When Raidho appears, it asks: Are you simply moving, or are you being moved by something greater?
