Rune of Compassion

It has been said that when we have Compassion for one another, we shall be of one mind. For living a compassionate life, we are practicing the Presence of God in a simple and universal way. Drawing this Rune reminds us to take time to show Compassion to those we meet along our way. Many of Compassion’s qualities are found in other Runes. They shine in Forgiveness, Trust and Love, all of which weave together in the Wholeness to which our nature aspires. If a family member or friend is sick or sorely troubled,drawing this Rune indicates an opportunity for you to show your Compassion through service. For some, receiving this Rune calls for a profound recognition: admitting to yourself something that you have long denied. At such a challenging time, remember to have Compassion for yourself. If you are involved in physical healing, notice that in the Circle of Runes, Compassion lies between Fear and The Divine. As if to say that Fear, passing through the prism of Compassion, is transformed into the energy and radiance of Love. To the compassionate self, this Rune is a gentle reminder that the journey to wholeness is just that, a journey. Along the way, in your meditations and your prayers, ask to see the world through compassionate eyes. The Healing Runes Ralph H. Blum\Susan Loughan
