The Waves Rune

The Waves Rune

"My soul is an enchanted boat,
which, like a sleeping swan, doth float,
upon the silver waves..."

On the surface, this rune stands for intuition and the artistic imagination. But it also indicates cloudy perception. In this way, the Waves Rune can stand for self-sacrifice or self-sabbotage. It means we are victims of our own delusions. There is the sense of not being able to pin something down, being left in suspension or being swept away by emotion or the imagination.

Other meanings behind the Waves Rune include a long trip or a voyage over water, events which are carried out in secret, mystical visions, healing herbs or magickal elixirs, dealing with perfumes or poisons, hidden agendas, groups which harbour secret or covert actions. When this rune turns up during a reading, it indicates that the answer is still not clear. Often, the matter of your concern will soon dissipate or phase out with no resolution or closure.

On the positive side, the Waves Rune represents a wellspring of creativity where you are nourished by the power of your own imagination. Sometimes this rune means that the matter you have asked about depends upon your timing. Poetry, music, and powerful revelations are behind the meanings of this stone. What you are able to imagine will soon become a reality, as long as you are willing to clarify what you ask for, and to follow through.
