I was beginning to wonder if the Oracle Elf Runes ever have a “bad” day, for it seems as though all the elf runes this week have been light hearted and generous with fun messages.
I'm not trying to be any kind of witch, let alone a simple good witch. How many days can one get so many positive messages before turning the head and saying, reality out there is a bitch.
Remember, I'm an elf. I live where elves love to live, and I isolate a great deal in the twilight. It's quite easy to turn it all off and listen to the songbirds and chirping squirrels.
So, to pump up the volume, I got out my ancient dragon tarot deck hoping for one card of insight.
Nope, it dropped me three, and they are a bit more in alignment with the days reality than just the Elf Runes, who, per chance, came out sounding like a dire message of warning. Ok, so they heard my request alright.

If you haven't already yet, it's time for you to brew a hot drink and prep the nest. For this first set we Twilight Tome coupled with the 4 of Pentacles.
Our dragon in this tarot card is well grounded, looking at his hoard he has so cleverly hid in the bare canopy above. This dragon is so happy with his hoards enshrouder above in canopy sticks. She can rest easy despite what may be ahead.
Take time to go over your budget, your savings, and keep a good thorough account in a bank tome. At least, that's how my grandma did it!
Until then, now is a great time to sit with your Twilight Tome and write all about the adventures you had this past week. If you sang songs of spells, there should be some great writing fodder. If not, we won't judge if you decorate an entire page with stickers!

This here bane rune, with where it's placed in our cast, is such a tricky little stone. We might say it in itself is being a bane to this writer! Our Elf Rune Oracle book does the same, turning “bane” into a short diatribe all about iron. Passing off all sorts of great sayings and energy about how Iron is a bane to the elves.
It does tell us one fun saying “strike while the iron is hot,” a carry over from our precious Oracles this week! Take the opportunity while you have it, before it ends up becoming catastrophic! Whoa, the intensity went up a few notches!
We are also reminded to reflect upon our shield.

We are particular to Fafnir's helmet to be our shield, but you get to make your own unique shield.
It's always important to have a shield, for our next card is 4 of swords. Where we see a focused dragon boxed in by the swords of our tarot, but he also has 4 swords all his own!
He has doubled his power as well as pointed out to us, now is the time to go and practice your skills/talents. You are doubling your efforts right now if you just hunker down and do your own thing.
The dragon must be warming up for something important, and our Bane claims an intiation rite is coming soon. It won't be an easy one, but it's going to happen like it or not. A clue maybe simply that it will be dull, extremely dull. A bane of this mundane dystopia and the unavoidablity of dealing with it. Another clue from our rune is that this will likely be a dull test of intelligence.

If I didn't have a contrary first born, I'd say this is the most contrary pair I'd every seen. Despair and the Chariot, could we not be more yinyang? We better camouflage with our cloaks to stay safe in case something else choatic happens next time we have to walk among them.
Men say “there is nothing new under the sun.
But Elves say “there is always something new amidst the starlight”
This rune, despair, comes with logical warnings. There are abusers and attackers in this world who will do what they can to torment you. May you never take the side and behavior of the oppressor. Now, if you feel someone coming on too strong, would be the time to utilize the skills you have been warming up to.
On the positive side of things, despair healed becomes self discipline.
On the other side of this test, the reward is the Chariot. Being able to reign in your skills and direct your path with your sheer will power.
You have the ability to take control of your life and steer it into the direction you desire. You will certainly reach all the goals you have been writing about in your Twilight Tome?
Only time will tell
