is runed


Experience has taught TiR that if we closely investigate the "ruined," then we are sure to find at least a little "i" somewhere, usually near the heart of it.


But what if TiR could get rid of the "I"?


Then we'd have: "runed."



If we correctly interpret the guidance on various webpages about runes, like this one and this one, then the word


T H A N K S G I V I N G


would seem to be transcribable phonetically into the following runic alphabetical marks:


TH Thurisaz

A Ansuz

NG Ingwaz

K Kenaz

S Sowilo

G Gebo

I Isaz

V Wunjo

I Isaz

NG Ingwaz



If we then attempt some amateur divination via the purported rough meanings of each of the above symbols, we find that the phenomenon called "thanksgiving" presents to us, in sequence, the following experiences:


(destruction)



(belated awareness)



(return to home, hearth)



(stomach pains)



(surprise revelations)



(gifts, unsolicited advice)



(frosty responses, frustration)



(the company of others)



(more frustration, stagnation, total impasse)


(yet more home, hearth, total boredom)


Astonishing!

The above findings uncannily comport with the results of related investigations that TiR has conducted for a number of years now on this exact day.
