hagalaz	H	Hail	Known as the weather rune this covers challenges or uncontrolled forces both inner and outer.
nauthiz	N	Need	This isn’t needy as such, it is pointing out that the things you need you probably already have they only have to be worked at. Self preservation is another keyword.
isa	I	Ice	A period of inaction, reaching a standstill or emotional cooling. (I personally prefer to think of it as a quality or opportunity that is still to thaw).
jera	J	Year or Harvest	Here we see the reaping of rewards for past efforts. It can be seen as the end of something and the start of something new.
eihwaz	Y	Yew	The yew tree is an ancient wisdom keeper and the gateway to the otherworld. Because of this it is known as the shaman rune (representing the ability of the shaman to control/mould the unshaped energy of the otherworld) standing for motivation and transformation.
pertho	p	A Dice Cup	The cups were often used for divination and gambling that is why this is seen as Fate. It urges you to make your own choices and take charge of your own destiny.
