Omens

 

During each ritual an omen is taken following the final sacrifice to see if the Beings of the Occasion have accepted what has been offered in the form of worship, praise, honor and sacrifice during the ritual.

 

The Whispering Lake Grove has chosen to use Tree Ogham as the tool to take the omen during our Irish Celtic rituals and Runes (Elder Futhark) to take the omen during our Norse rituals. Three Oghams or Runes are draw to receive a message from the Beings of the Occasion. The Grove Seer provides a brief interpretation during each ritual.

 

Omens from our High Day rituals and Blessing Rites/Rites of Offering beginning at Beltaine 2003 appear below. Key words have been included with each to aid in interpretation.

 

The following files show the Omen information by year along with images of the Runes/Ogham:
