Divination and Fate
Runes and other methods can reveal the patterns of fate, allowing one to act with wisdom.
The Norse used runes, seidr, and other forms of divination to glimpse fate's patterns. This knowledge allowed for better decisions - not to avoid fate, but to meet it wisely. Odin himself practiced divination to gain wisdom.
Cast the runes and read what is woven; know the pattern and walk it wisely.
Divination was practical wisdom for navigating fate, not attempting to escape it.
