A rune break moment refers to a temporary pause or interruption in the use of runes during a divination or magical working. Runes are an ancient Germanic alphabet that were traditionally used for writing, as well as for divination and magical purposes. During a rune reading or casting, a rune break moment occurs when the practitioner pauses and takes a moment to reflect or gather their thoughts before continuing with the reading. It is a moment of stillness and introspection, allowing the practitioner to connect with their intuition and delve deeper into the meaning of the runes that have been revealed. This pause can be seen as a sacred interlude where the practitioner can tune in to their inner guidance and receive further insights into the situation at hand. It allows for a deeper understanding and interpretation of the runes, as well as an opportunity for the practitioner to connect with the energies of the divine and the unseen realms.

In a magical working, a rune break moment can be used to focus and gather energy before proceeding with the spell or ritual. It is a time to ground oneself and align with the desired outcome, ensuring that the intentions are clear and the energy is focused.
Circle of protection
Circle protection should not be confused with a circle of protection, which is the Wiccan construct of creating a circle or ritual space to work within. Rather, the term circle protection refers to one of two things. First, the protections placed in the area where a circle is crafted, thus the protection wards for the space itself. In this case, circle protections can include (but not limited to).
- Rocks or crystals found at the site of circle creation or ritual space
- Candles placed at the cardinal or points of the star correlating to the space
- Physically drawn sigils that represent marks of protection
- Sea salt and other purification sands to restrict a boundary space
These protection pieces act as a grounding mechanism for specific energies, linking the spiritual world with the physical. Their presence will rebuke negative energies and also act as a ward for etching out the boundaries of the magickal space, acting as insulation for and from the outside world.
In the second example of circle protection it refers to a person or persons that act as a guardian. Some traditions place this responsibility upon a spirit or element and rely on their protections to keep their practitioners safe.
Wiccan circles usually denote this role to a male or someone that is versed in handling aggressive masculine energies, labeling this role in the circle as the warden. The warden, is the physical manifestation of circle protection. It is their job to maintain the energies balance within a circle and guard the coven or group while they do their magickal workings.
Often, this person will be active in the ritual, but not playing a role that is as visible as other ones in traditional ritual routine. The warden provides protection both as helping with balance on the inside and the outside of the circle, warding off negative energies from the outside of the ritual space while maintaining or feeling the pulse of the energy within.
Part of the job for them is to maintain circle protections between practitioners and their job is essential in public workings where practitioners are coming together that don’t often work together. They are the ones that manage ill will of anyone within the group, making sure that each person is doing their job and have entered a circle in the proverbial “perfect love and perfect trust”.
Ideology of Circle Protection
The visual representation of circle protection is most often seen as the pentagram, or a circle around a 5 pointed star. The balance is represented through the lines that create the shape with the circle around it to show that the elemental forces are not only present and balanced, but contained.
The pentagram constructs the visual circle of protection and is often seen as a protective talisman that is worn by practitioners to keep them safe both internally while they work and from any potential dangers from the outside world.

Some practitioners may choose to use this moment to meditate on the symbols and meanings of the runes, while others may use it as a moment of prayer or affirmation. It is a personal and individual practice that can vary among different practitioners and traditions. Overall, a rune break moment is a valuable and important part of working with runes. It allows for a deeper connection and understanding of the symbols and energies at play, as well as a moment of reflection and alignment with one's own intuition and spiritual practice..
