Listen to What in the Wyrd Episode 111 – Moving with Raidho

Traditional lore – Progenitor of the English words ‘ride’ and ‘riding,’ Raidho is the rune that indicates movement. It speaks to the relationship between humans and how we move through ecosystems, what motivates us to do so, as in the archetypal hero’s journey. It is the point that we begin to cultivate perspective on ourselves and the world around us. We begin to cultivate lore.

Animistic lore – If we take the Elder Futhark as keys offering insight into how to human well, Raidho is the point that we realize our agency must be taken out into the world to stay in sacred order. We can’t keep it to ourselves. We’re not built to keep it to ourselves, and agency isn’t containable. We crave adventure. We crave movement and new experiences. As we express our agency across different ecosystems, we shape them, we become shaped by them.

Raidho reminds us how we move in the world

is how we do in the world

Tending with Raidho Introspections

  • How comfortable are you with travel?
  • With moving your body?
  • How does the way you move say who you are?
  • How does movement engage you with ecosystems?

I’m an animist, author, deathwalker and death doula. For the last 25+ years, through Soul Intent Arts I’ve helped others to ethically build thriving spiritual paths as fit, embodied elders, who upon death become wise, capable Ancestors. My work is Nature-based, and focuses soul tending through the Elder Futhark runes, animism, ancestral healing, and deathwork. I’m author of Runic Book of Days, and I host the podcast, What in the Wyrd. I also write The Weekly Rune as a celebration of the Elder Futhark in season. Full bio.
