Your question Why do I keep hesitating?

The spread

  1. What is rooted Raidho The journey, and the correct order of its stages. What to avoid: Movement without a destination.
  2. What is rising Sowilo The sun, success and a clear line of sight. What to avoid: Basking instead of finishing.
  3. What must be cut Hagalaz Disruption from outside. Not personal, not permanent. What to avoid: Blaming yourself for weather.

The runes open under Cancer, and the first line is about a promise you made to yourself in a different autumn.
