This stone predicts self-acceptance. You will accept yourself for who you are аnd it’ll feel great and refreshing. Seeing the bigger picture will become your everyday habit. No one will be able to step on your nerves. Unimportant things won’t bother you as they once did.

You will finally listen to your inner voice, your personal rhythm and ignore what everyone else has to say about your life and behavior. However, you could also experience crisis or injustice since the reversal stands for delusion, disruption, irrationality, and destruction.

The Raidho rune is all about change, surprise, positive outcome and traveling. Getting this stone means that you’re going to become fully aware of your power, talents, and freedom.

Although you’re in doubt whether to listen to your gut or not, you know that in the end, it will turn out okay if you do. Otherwise, you will feel sorry for not listening to your heart.

If you get the reversal of this stone, it means that you should work on your self-esteem and get away from people who make you feel like you’re not worthy. Also, the only way to be truly happy is to accept yourself and face your fears. Instead of running away from the things that scare you, run towards them. This will boost your self-confidence. It will make you realize that fear isn’t real. If you acknowledge and face your fears, they lose their power over you. The reversal stands for destruction as well. Perhaps you’re in doubt whether to do something that can destroy your life or the life of someone else. This rune advises you to reconsider your decision and future actions.

If you got this rune, you’re probably feeling uncomfortable in your comfort zone. You have come to the realization that you want more than life. This rune appears when someone needs an extra push to dive into the unknown and make something more out of their life. If you got this rune, it means that there’s a long way of adventure, awakening, and a road ahead of you. All you need to do is gather the courage to make the first step toward your future.

When it comes to love, this rune denotes delusion. Maybe you’re in love with someone who’s unworthy of your trust and love. This person is probably abusing your generosity, kindness, and love. He or she is trying to get the best out of your relationship without investing any time, attention and emotional support. You’re being taken advantage of. And if you wonder if you should put an end to this relationship without a future this rune advises you to do it.

If you’re single and got this stone, it means that you’re scared of growing old alone. First and foremost, you shouldn’t be afraid of anything, especially this. Second of all, the reason why you’re looking for someone to love you is the lack of self-love and self-acceptance. And since this stone represents self-acceptance among other things, it advises you to do a soul searching in order to realize what a beautiful, amusing, smart and resourceful person you are.

Once you accept yourself and love yourself for who you are, love will come unannounced. If you achieve a higher level of self-acknowledgment and self-acceptance, you will also realize that love isn’t the most important thing in life, Working on your goals and knowing yourself is. If you’re having some troubles at home with a family member and wonder if this grudge will ever end, this rune advises you to sit back and relax. Let time decide who should leave or stay by your side. Instead of convincing them of your good intentions, focus on yourself.

The reversal stands for crisis and injustice, as mentioned. The meaning of this is that you might experience injustice. However, you should learn a lesson from this experience instead of letting it get to your heart. Instead of getting disappointed, fight for what’s right. Make an example of how people should deal with injustice. You will doubt whether to take things into your own hands or let authorities fix your problem. If you got this stone, the answer is very simple: Do what you feel is right. Every person knows what’s right or wrong so do the right thing.

Otherwise, you’re nothing different than the negative guys and those who do evil things.

No matter how things turn out for you, remember that life throws at you as much as you can handle, no more, no less. Also, keep an eye on your friends and family in case someone needs your help and advice. If you got this rune, it’s possible that you consider yourself as a person who doesn’t do much for their family and friends. You’re wrong. On the contrary you always give your best to make other people happy and you never put yourself first. Maybe it’s time to take a little break and recharge your batteries someplace calm.
