When to Wait, When to Move

Some situations ask for patience and some for action, and it is often hard to tell which. This trail follows that tension through eight entries: two runes, three tarot cards and three passages from the Hávamál.

They do not all say the same thing. A few argue for waiting, a few for acting early, and one asks whether the right timing can be known at all. Hávamál stanzas are quoted from Olive Bray’s 1908 translation. The links between entries are editorial choices made for this site; they do not claim that the old sources belonged to one system, and nothing here tells you which way to go.
