Ancient Runes: Term XXIV, Activity 1

[xsnarkasaurus.livejournal.com]

Activity: Create-a-Rune
Points: Participation 10 points
Deadline: October 15, 2012 @ 11:59pm UTC
Details: Pick a rune for yourself! Find something that you feel represents who you are, and post an image of it, along with at least 100 words why it fits you.



Provide an image (no bigger than 400x400, please, out of deference to those with lower connections) that represents how you see yourself. Do you think you're cheerful, fun to be around, happy? Maybe a sun would be a good rune for you! Are you athletic, on the go, and like to work out? How about a Nike swoosh or a running shoe? Anything you can think of that you feel you can apply to yourself is fair game, EXCEPT people or places.

Once you've settled on an image, write 100 words, minimum, describing why what you chose is best suited to you. You can provide any reasoning you wish (no one's judging you here), but you must supply some reasoning for it. No points will be awarded for just an image submitted.

Keep track of what you've submitted, because personal runes will be used later on this term!

There is NO grace period after an activity ends, so PLEASE make sure you're on the roster! IN accordance with the new rules, a roster sin up is not required to participate in this activity. It is, however, required to get your bonus points, so make sure, if you want those bonus points, you sign up!

I chose the ouroboros because it represents cycles, no beginnings and no endings. One of my personal philosophies is that everything in life is a cycle and that life itself is a cycle; every living thing is born, lives and dies and is reborn to live and die again in one form or another. Seasons run in cycles, summer becomes fall becomes winter becomes spring until it is summer again. All substances have a cycle as well, for example, ice becomes water which in turn becomes ice.

I also like that the ouroboros is a symbol of eternity. Which is great and incomprehensible and in a way completely unchanging. Ever changing and yet always the same. This kind of dichotomy is the very essence of life. I really like this philosophy so I think this is a good rune for me.
