Meaning

lot-cup, dice cup

Lot-cup, dice cup. The lot-cup — fate spills out.

Upright

upright · core

Mystery, fate, and the unknown. Hidden forces shape your destiny. Secrets are revealed to those who dare to look within — and to those willing to stand by what the cup pours.

Reversed

reversed · shadow

Stagnation from fear of the unknown. Secrets you keep from yourself cause harm. Addiction to certainty blocks magic; you ask the dice to lie still.

In a reading

past · present · future · pair

Past: a fated meeting. Present: something is in motion that you cannot see. Future: a revelation. The "wild card" of the set — Perthro near any rune intensifies its mystery and asks you to trust what you cannot yet name.

Norse lore

mythos

Perthro is the most enigmatic rune — its very meaning is uncertain. Most read it as the cup from which lots were cast in pre-Christian divination. The rune that asks what the rune does.
