This method expands the three rune method to give a better
idea of how the situation came into being, the stage it has reached and
why, as well as the likelihood of it resolving itself. As before, spread
out your cloth over the chosen area and place all the runes face down
on it. Swirl them around until they are thoroughly mixed, put to one side
the fire you have chosen and replace the others in your pouch. Lay out
the five runes in the order shown below.
- Past The first rune represents the past, what has led the querent
to the current situation
- Present The second rune represents the present and should perhaps
be turned over first.
- Result The third rune tells you what the result will be.
- Help The fourth rune indicates what help is available to the querent.
It can significantly affect the outcome.
- Obstacles The fifth rune symbolizes any obstacles that may be confronting
the querent. This rune should be turned over at the same time as the
fourth rune.
It is important to look at runes 3,4 and 5 as a group. The outcome
is not just waiting to be realized; if the querent understands the situation,
sees clearly the obstacles ahead, and takes advantage of any aid available,
then they can significantly alter the result.
