Pink Glitter Rune Clip Earrings
Dec. 22nd, 2023 05:38 pmEPIC FASHION WIN

Got these today in my advent calendar from Eleisis. Yep, that's pink resin with a lot of glitter - the timeless classic for rune charms. (Clip earrings because I don't have ear piercings.) I am in awe. Clearly, Eleisis understands my style of thinking very well... When in doubt, go for pink glitter! The runes are dagaz and raido, chosen for excellent reasons. :D I absolutely LOVE them!

'Raido' is 'ride / travel / journey' or, in a more abstract sense, 'purpose, choice, decision'. (Unsurprisingly, it's one of my favorites, and I carry it often enough.) If you combine these two, you get something like 'safety on travels', 'the choice to understand', or 'journey of enlightenment' - all pretty useful. XD

Though, of course, we have to keep in mind that all modern lists of 'rune meanings' (especially when made for rune use rather than archaeology purposes) are reconstructions from the few rune poems that survived - sometimes attempted in good faith, sometimes less so. In this case, I think it looks like a genuine effort.
