Decision Layout
Difficulty: Easy
This simple but highly useful layout calls for a question to be asked in this format:
“What happens if I do (X), and what happens if I do not do (X)?“
Please note that it should not be viewed as a decision between 2 different options, but about whether or not a single option should be exercised. A second option would call for a separate reading.
Rune #7 is the significator, the overall theme of the query.
Runes #3, #1, & #5 represent the chronological sequence of events that occurs if you choose to do (X).
Runes #4, #2, & #6 represent the chronological sequence of events that unfolds if you choose NOT to do (X).

Knowing what you want and going for it. The personal in rhythm with the world, the dance of life. Raidho's connection to the number 2 is a reminder that there are 2 sides to every story. Be careful not to get side tracked into a disruptive misadventure that could set you back.
