From Stuart…
*
The traditional number of runes stands at twenty-four.
A colt has twenty-four milk teeth.
Sleipnir is a colt.
*
The runes are usually depicted in tablet form
as three rows of eight runes apiece.
*
The facts here tend to support the poetic thesis.
*
There is, though, an important distinction to be made.
‘Heaven’ is not here viewed as a navigable place,
which is how we might have been led to regard it but, rather, as a space,
that is, a ‘head-space’ or a state of consciousness.
*
The runes give access to this consciousness
through the process known as ‘divination’.
*
So, keys, yes but not on a ring or chain,
and ‘heaven’ is not somewhere we are destined
to arrive at or not but, rather,
a state mind, or realm, which can be accessed by all.
