Rune Berkana cross stitch pattern

Posted on October 6, 2015July 30, 2019 by Felina

Today’s free rune is Berkana (sometimes spelled Berkano) – a rune of feminine fertility, birth (rebirth) and motherhood – and rune #20 in my cross stitch runic series.

Please note, that this pattern is a little bit (two stitches) wider than most of the runic patterns of the same design. I had to make it like this because the rune’s neame is longer 🙂

The symbolic tree for Berkana on the pattern is pomegranate.

Rune Wunjo cross stitch pattern

Posted on August 4, 2015July 30, 2019 by Felina

While most of the sources I check to know the meaning of runes rarely agree with each other (it is very funny how websites in English and websites in Russian write very differently about the same runes), all of these sources agree that Wunjo is the rune of happiness and joy. So I hope you will find joy in stitching it!

Raidho rune (the Quest) cross stitch pattern

Posted on March 3, 2015July 30, 2019 by Felina

Last rune made a great milestone: half of all Elder Futark runes were completed into cross stitch patterns. So, for now. you can find patterns Fehu, Thurisaz, Kenaz, Gebo, Hagalaz, Nauthiz, Isa, Perthro, Algiz, Tiwaz, Laguz and Othala. And today I’m starting the second half, and I make a pinky promise to you to complete the whole series before this autumn. It is going to be a great quest! And, speaking of quests, today’s pick is

Raidho rune free cross stitch pattern

Raidho is one of the runes that all readers agree on: it’s primary meaning is the journey, and that may mean both physical travels (that makes Raidho a traveller’s good luck charm) and metaphorical quests of our lives. It is an evolution in motion, a rule to move if we want to change and become a better person. It is also a talisman that helps to see your path clearly and not get distracted by obstacles.

Rune Algiz cross stitch pattern

Posted on February 17, 2015August 5, 2019 by Felina

Today’s freebie will be another pattern in the runic series. Many thanks to Maria for stimulating me to return to that (unfinished) work through comments 🙂

This time the runes chose to show me Algiz – quite a mystic rune, because, as far as Wikipedia goes, people are nor sure of its name or true meaning, But we will settle for common name of Algiz, that stands for Elk.

Сегодняшняя схема для вышивки – это еще одна руна (спасибо Марии, напомнившей мне в комментариях про эту незавершенную серию схем и вдохновившую на продолжение! 🙂 ). На этот раз мне выпала весьма интересная и сильная руна – Альгиз.

Rune Laguz (water, intuition) cross stitch chart

Posted on May 7, 2013 by Felina

The primary meaning of Laguz is water. Water was very controversial for the Vikings being very dangerous yet giving life (irrigation and fish). That is why Laguz often means life, birth and new beginnings.

Stitch count: 39 x 46 stitches, 9 colors

Deeper meaning of Laguz is the Flow, artistic inspiration, intuition and unconscious wisdom. This rune with its ability of multiplying creation powers can make a good present for any creative person. But you should be very careful with Laguz (as well as with any other rune), because it also means dark and hidden sides of your subconsciousness. Don’t get carried away with your imagination!

Laguz is also said to be a very feminine rune. It gives the woman a strength to get through any obstacles in life.

If you got to this page while randomly browsing the Web, than maybe Laguz is trying to tell you that you should relax and go with the flow of your life.

I chose a weeping willow as a symbolic tree for this pattern, because it grows only near water and is often associated with a woman.

Check out other runes in my runic cross stitch series!Руна мечтателей Лагуз (иногда – Лагаз) – сегодняшняя схема для вышивки из моей любимой рунной серии схем. Основное значение этой руны – вода и неразрывно связанные с ней в представлениях древних викингов жизнь и освоение нового.

Размер: 39 x 46 крестиков, 9 цветов

Второе, более глубокое значение руны Лагуз – это поток: творческий и жизненный; вдохновение, интуиция и подсознание. Вышивка с этой руной станет отличный подарком творческому человеку: ведь она будет вдохновлять его и поддерживать в нем креативные силы. Но и с ней нужно быть аакуратным, ведь она означает и темные стороны подсознания.

А ещё Лагуз – женская руна, помогающая женщинам преодолевать препятствия и проблемы в жизни.

Если вы наткнулись на эту страницу случайно, то, возможно, руна Лагуз хочет и вам что-то сказать: например, что сейчас нужно чуть отпустить свою жизнь и дать свободу её течению.

В качестве дерева-символа для Лагуз я выбрала постоянную спутницу воды – плакучую иву. Именно ее веточки и цветы расположены по краям вышивки.

Inspired by all beautiful samplers on Pinterest: “Happy Easter” sampler (maybe not exactly a sampler, but something very similar) with easter eggs, chickens and tulips. I made it in red, but it can be embroidered with any color you like.

I never did samplers before, this one is the very first and I hope you will like it!
