Raido - Start of movement. Primary message. Expanding the boundaries of perception.
This Rune is associated with the impulse of motor energy. This Rune contains the Power of Intention. This Rune contains the power of the primary intention to commit an action. Thus, this Rune contains the path to future events. A person’s consciousness tuned to this Rune moves forward in time. When working with this Rune, a person makes plans. By moving forward in time, a person can plan for future events. This Rune is the beginning of the path.
Straight position
Raido is very similar in appearance to the modern letter “R”. The symbol has upright and inverted positions. The key concept in the direct position is the path.
When Raido appears in fortune telling, one can say with confidence that a person is on the way to something, not necessarily in the literal sense of moving. This may be the path to a scientific discovery, learning something new, or resolving a situation.
The direct position of the rune suggests: go boldly forward and don’t look back at anyone, fate favors you.
Stopping traffic and trusting the road
Also, the inverted position of this rune indicates that forward movement is stopped or hampered due to the fact that you are indecisive, you are overcome by doubts, lack of patience and openness, that is, distrust of your path. You need to take more risks, but not senselessly, but consciously, that is, let the road take you where you want. As an experienced rider sometimes does, letting go of the reins so that the horse under him can find a watering hole on its own, and everyone can quench their thirst.
Reversed position of the Raido rune
The reversed Raido rune signifies surprise. This position of the sign cannot be called negative, it simply foreshadows something unexpected. The events that will happen soon may or may not be pleasant. In any case, changes await you, something new, something that didn’t exist before.
Love and relationships
In case of fortune telling about the situation, be vigilant - a quarrel, a serious disagreement or even a breakup is possible. Be careful when interacting with people, especially if you want to maintain warmth and intimacy. Do not be frightened or despair, the situation is solvable, but it requires tact, patience and endurance. Get over yourself, make an effort, and the relationship can be saved.
Work and career
Raido warns that the situation (present or future) will require effort and internal resources. Perhaps new promising prospects will open up in your work. The main thing is to see the possibilities. However, in order to achieve your goals, you will have to work hard.
Interpretation of the Raido rune in fortune telling
In the upright position, Raido means a road; depending on the neighboring symbols and the question itself, it will become clear which area of life this road belongs to. If we are talking about moving from point A to point B, then it will be a pleasant journey with good travel companions. In matters of spiritual development, Raido means the very beginning of the path, where a person still doubts the correctness of the decision made. The rune under no circumstances advises giving up your spiritual quest; on the contrary, the path of self-development is the most correct at the moment.
An inverted Raido is interpreted in fortune telling as a journey, but an uncomfortable one - it could be a trip to visit a sick friend or simply an unplanned business trip, which also undermines the fortuneteller’s budget. Depending on which runes are located in the neighborhood in the layout, you can determine possible problems on the road - an accident, an accident or an unpleasant neighborhood.
For love and relationships
The Raido line in the sphere of love means development, movement forward. Current relationships have a chance to reach a new level; if the fortuneteller is lonely, new love is already looming on the horizon. People who are part of a person’s inner circle have come into his life for a long time, and events associated with them will only be positive. Raido also means a honeymoon, a holiday romance or a date - in general, the beginning of something new after a long period of waiting.
Combinations:
- Kenaz - this moment is best suited for sorting out the relationship with a partner, the main thing is to tune in to a positive mood;
- Gebo - in order for the current relationship to continue to develop, it is necessary to clarify all differences between lovers.
An inverted rune in a relationship reading means that a quarrel or breakup is possible in the near future. Now you need to control yourself and not deliberately aggravate the situation; in order to save the relationship, you will have to make an effort. If separation is inevitable, Raido says that this is not an accident, but another chance for a person to expand his horizons.
Combinations:
- Turisaz - one of the partners does not value the relationship, his actions are thoughtless;
- Nautiz - lovers should be patient in order to overcome a bad streak in a relationship with dignity;
- Odal indicates the owner in a relationship, who with his jealousy is capable of destroying the couple;
- Mannaz - in this union, one partner dominates the second, taking advantage of his compliance and pliability.
For business and work
In career matters, the direct rune predicts the emergence of new projects, tasks and often business trips. A person’s actions show more and more professionalism and business tact, which leads to self-improvement and career growth. Everything that happens happens for a reason, and in this you can trace the influence of higher powers. You need to trust them and use your inner resources to achieve your goals. Openness to the world and the desire to assimilate new information will lead to the fact that all started projects will end in success.
Raido is interpreted as successfully completing negotiations and overcoming difficulties. If there are problems in business, they are all solvable.
Combinations:
- Dagaz - soon the income that work brings will increase;
- Vunyo - career problems are about to end;
- Evaz, the fortuneteller, chose the right field of activity.
An inverted rune is interpreted as a warning about deception. Vigilance and awareness will help you get out of this situation with honor. Raido also means that stagnation in business is due to the indecision of the fortuneteller, and a thorough analysis of the actions committed will help to cope with the negative consequences.
Raido means an unwanted business trip that threatens trouble. There may be sudden checks, the result of which will be unsatisfactory. In general, the symbol is often interpreted as a disruption of plans.
Combinations:
- Isa - plans are not feasible in their current form;
- Yera (inverted) – the questioner himself is to blame for his problems;
- Perth (reversed) - lack of performance by colleagues will have a bad effect on the work of the fortuneteller.
To your health
The effect of the Raido rune on health is extremely positive. In direct form, it means correct and timely prescribed treatment, which will lead to healing of the body and harmonization of a person’s internal state. The rune also indicates a person who needs to move more to improve their well-being. Travel and a change of environment will have a beneficial effect on the state of the fortuneteller.
Combinations:
- Berkana - easy pregnancy and successful birth.
When reversed, Raido means that now is not the time to move forward. This applies to both manipulation of a person’s physical condition and spiritual journeys in search of truth.
The fortuneteller should pay close attention to diseases that are chronic in nature - the state of health will worsen if you do not take care of your sores. You need to lead a more active and healthy lifestyle, listen to your body and avoid situations in which the fortuneteller is exposed to stress.
Combinations:
- One is mental illness.
Rune advice
The advice that the Raido rune gives: do not interfere with those forces that have taken your life under their protection. The mechanisms have been launched, the only action that is right for you is already being carried out, at this very moment. Imagine your life as a road. Now you are moving forward, you are far from home and from the place you are striving to come to. Now all that remains is to trust the road and the traveler who walks along it. What does it mean? Trust first of all yourself, your aspirations and the course of events that you can observe around you.

Rune Gesture |
The Raido rune corresponds to the zodiac sign Taurus, the 5th lasso of the Tarot – Hierophant, the 45th hexagram of the “Book of Changes” – Tsui, Reunion.
Raido's patrons are Thor and Forseti. Thanks to Raido, you can decide on the choice of your life path. It also helps to make informed decisions, control circumstances, and control the situation.
There is an opinion that this rune is directly related to the orderly passage of time, since it controls spiral and cyclic development and is associated with repeatedly repeated movement - ritual. Raido, drawn or carved on an amulet, can protect against other people's negative emotions and energy. To create amulets, you can use a combination of Raido and Tiwaz - this will help avoid conflicts, give masculinity and perseverance in overcoming obstacles that arise on the way to the implementation of plans. In general, this rune personifies the fulfillment of one’s duty, destiny, and global task. To do this, you need to go a long way with obstacles and hindrances, with creative, fruitful activity.
The meaning of the Raido rune in fortune telling:
Direct position of the Raido rune: If during fortune telling Raido is in a direct position, it will have the following meanings:
- attention to details;
- undesirability of ambiguous situations;
- pilgrimage for the purpose of spiritual enlightenment;
- moving, traveling with loved ones, having a fun trip;
- receipt of interesting and important information;
- success in all matters related to material values;
- good luck in negotiations with business partners.
If the Raido rune in fortune telling appears in an upright position, then this means that you are on the right path, this is your direction. If you asked for advice: “What to do?”, then the direct rune Raido recommends starting to move, doing something to achieve the goal. And of course, it will definitely appear if the querent has to take some kind of trip, business trip or trip. Sometimes it means that a wish will come true, but first you will have to “run”, i.e. nothing will fall from the sky on its own.
Raido rune advice:
Trust yourself and the course of events. Don’t hesitate, don’t waste time on unnecessary doubts and reasoning, on the sounds of voices in your subconscious - just move.
Reversed rune position:
The Raido rune may be in an inverted position during fortune telling. You should pay attention to this, since in this situation the meaning of the rune takes on the opposite meaning:
- the emergence of conflicts in the family;
- impossibility of realizing plans and desires;
- unnaturalness and insincerity in relationships with others;
- unexpected and unpleasant move;
- the likelihood of an accident on the way;
- illness of one of the relatives;
- unpleasant guests;
- frustration of business negotiations and important transactions.
Here its meaning will change to the opposite. “Don’t go there, don’t do that,” advises the inverted Raido. It can also symbolize a bad trip. Since the meaning of the Raido straight line is movement, an inverted one can often mean stopping. If an inverted Raido is combined with the Nautiz rune, then we interpret it as a forced stop.
When divining health, Raido in an inverted position can indicate problems with the musculoskeletal system - diseases of the legs and joints. If a psychological alignment is being made, then an inverted Raido will clearly indicate the querent’s passivity.
Raido rune advice:
Analyze, think, observe, be on alert, get ready to make an effort, mobilize - the world has changed, everything depends only on your intelligence. Something good will come your way, but, unfortunately, you will not get it for nothing, without effort on your part. If you are lazy and too relaxed, then there is a risk of missing out on your luck. Try to stand firmly on your feet.
Prediction value in combination with other runes:
If, during fortune telling, Raido appears together with Perthro in an inverted position, you can expect that the promises made by loved ones or business partners will not be fulfilled. Raido, in combination with the Algiz rune in an inverted position, warns against a possible trick on the part of others.
Use in magic:
For magical purposes, the Raido rune can be used as:
- a talisman to help you travel;
- assistant for finding a safe or shortcut;
- an amulet that promotes a positive outcome of conflicts and unwanted situations;
- a talisman that develops intuitive abilities and is used to prevent complications in business and negotiations with business partners.
Interpretation for one-rune fortune telling:
If you get Raido during one-rune fortune telling, you should change your behavior: become more attentive to other people's problems, compassionate and tolerant of the people around you. It is also recommended to develop intuition - with its help you can understand which of your loved ones needs support and participation. It would be useful at this time to learn how to act on a large scale. At this moment, all attempts to expand the business and attract new business partners will be successful.
The sphere of intuition.
Recently, you have become a good prey for unscrupulous people due to the fact that you are excessively gullible and short-sighted. It is worth getting rid of idealism and developing intuition - it will tell you who you can truly trust. Be more selective in your contacts, otherwise you risk losing the authority earned through success in your professional activities.
The sphere of emotions.
Obstacles in communicating with the opposite sex and other people can arise due to excessive sentimentality and emotional incontinence. Try to get rid of idealization, as such a worldview can seriously interfere with the realization of creative and business ambitions. Your main positive quality is attentiveness to loved ones and caring for them. You are always ready to help, often forgetting about your own interests and desires.
Sphere of professional activity.
The most suitable professions are doctor, lawyer, teacher, photographer, designer, architect. There is a good chance that you will achieve serious success as a politician, and thanks to your penchant for compassion and self-sacrifice, you will fall in love with the profession of an ecologist and environmentalist.
Sphere of physical activity.
Currently, you need to pay more attention to your health. Excessive physical activity can only get in the way.
Sphere of the mind.
In the near future, you can achieve success due to the fact that you approach the conclusion of transactions and contracts with special care. Also, success is ensured by those who listen more than talk, and show interest in the affairs and destinies of other people.

Magical use of Raido
Since hoary antiquity, magic and wisdom have stood on the same page. Not all people were literate, and those who could read and write were considered experts in truly mystical art. Nowadays, Raido is used in the following areas:
- fortune telling (alignment on love, situation, relationship analysis, questions about the future);
- creation of amulets and talismans;
- sacred outline of a rune or an entire magical phrase (formula).
You should be very careful when creating talismans using the Raido rune. The fact is that the magic of the sacred text needs to be activated. It is launched by a person, and the formula is powered by the energy of a living being. It may happen that there are not enough internal resources, a person may activate the talisman incorrectly or even become ill.
The meaning of straight and inverted runes
The symbol describes movement in every sense: it is both following a spiritual path and a journey on the physical level. If you draw the rune correctly, its outline resembles the letter R, with the upper half of the sign representing a pointer pointing to the right, i.e. in the “right” direction. This image indicates another meaning of the rune: truth, righteousness, justice (cf. English “right”).
In the upright position, Raido indicates progress towards the goal and a safe journey. It marks progress in any endeavor, resolution of complicated situations, and a way out of difficulties. The rune opens up new horizons for a person and leads him on the right path.
In the reverse position it symbolizes stopping. Her description includes life's dead ends and travel obstacles: breakdowns, delays, loss of funds, unexpected incidents.
Analogue of the symbol in the Slavic Futhark
The Scandinavian rune Raido corresponds to the Slavic Rainbow, which represents the shortest path, a segment connecting two points, a bridge between the banks of a river. The rune gives a favorable opportunity and bestows good luck, showing a person a direct path to the fulfillment of a cherished dream.
The interpretation of the Slavic rune implies a short-term effect. This is a sudden coincidence of fortunate circumstances that allows a person to make a “leap” and implement his plans.
