Tiwaz/Justice

The rune stone featured toward the left of this image is Tiwaz.

"Symbolically, this rune pictogram represents the vault of heaven intercepted by the world tree or axis. This image is intended to convey a pillar supporting the heavens and as such may act as a bridge between the affairs of humans and the divine will.

"This particular pictogram has also been variously described as a spear point, an arrow, the pole star, or the North Star. This imagery will call to mind guidance in much the same way as the North Star has served as a source of guidance to many journeyers who would otherwise lose their bearings and stray off course.

"There is an Old English rune poem that names Tiwaz and refers to it as a star that keeps its faith well and is always on course over the mists of night.

"This rune, then, can be considered representative of the guiding principles which are steadfast and can be relied on to judge one's position. Again, the imagery of divine guidance through signs in the heavens hearkens back to the use of the North Star to determine one's course."

Another rune-inspired image by Svetlana Bakushina is featured here... and a little something about another Scorpio artist is on the way.
