Ira finally decided on what she would use as an object and what spell she would use. Ira was feeling a bit low and under confident today. So she decided to go for the Sowilo. It said that it is used when self confidence was required. That is exactly what she required today.
She had read somewhere that jewelry like rings or lockets can act as charms or curses... So she too out her locket from her chain around her neck and placed it on her hand. She really hoped that the galdr did not go wrong! This was her favorite locket and she didn't want anything to happen to it.
She held the locket in her left hand and picked up the rune with her right. She gripped both her wand and her rune tightly in her right hand. She found the galdr she wanted to use and first read it over several times to get the hang of it. It still felt like monkey talk to her!
Taking a deep breath, she cleared her mind and proceeded with full concentration...
"sowilo sowilo sowilo
s s s s s s s s s
s s s o o o l l l
su sa si se so
us as is es os
si se su sa su
s s s s s s s s s"
She said everything clearly and pointed her wand at her locket. She hoped that it had taken effect. Only way to ascertain it was to wear it and feel it.
She wore the locket back into her chain and waited with bated breath....She felt a stirring in her heart. She could feel herself become more relaxed and confident. Yes! she was successful! She could do the galdrs correctly! It felt like a tide of freshness and confidence had hit her!
Ira was happy! She was delighted to see that this had killed two birds with one stone... Her ancient runes homework was done and her self-confidence was returning.
