The Scythe Rune

The Scythe Rune

"You will be aware of an absence, presently,
Growing beside you like a tree..."

This rune means to cut away, to put an end to something, to sever or separate. Possibly something you have depended upon vanishes from your life. This can sometimes imply a divorce or a separation. Or it can simply mean that there is completion or closure. You can now move to the next level and begin anew.

When the Scythe turns up in a reading, this indicates certain changes must occur and time must pass before a reconciliation. It can mean you are coming to terms with something that is hard to accept. There may a death, a will, a disappointment, a period of introspection after a loss. You may experience passing through diffficulties, putting in time, a transformation, then reaching a new level.

The Scythe also represents various aspects of the paranormal, especially ghosts. Therefore, it can suggest the possibility of a ghost haunting your home or your life. The Scythe also stands for graveyards, sewers, and disturbing dreams.

Walls and blocks may seem insurmountable at the current time. But the Scythe implies you have the strength and fortitude to overcome all difficulties that you now encounter.
