Ogham — Runes: Thursday, October 22

Ruis is redness, the kennings say: the redness of faces, the intensest blushing, the reddening of shame. It is what the body says before the person does. Today, watch for the flush, in yourself or across a table. Somebody's face will tell the truth a beat before their sentence, and the rune says trust the face. If it is your own, let it. The blush is an honest signal in a day that may not offer many, and the effort of hiding it is where the actual shame lives.
