Raido is the fifth rune in the Elder Futhark. Phonetically this is the “R”(or “Z”) sound. The Raido basic meaning is ride or cart. It also could mean “to ride.” Rad is the old German word for wheel. Diana Paxton states that reidhi is the Norse word for wrath. I am not sure if this has any connection to the meaning of Raido. Raido is the in the first Aett, which is Freya’s Aett. It looks like a “R.”
Icelandic Poem:
Riding is the joy of the rider
and a speedy journey,
and the labor of the horse
Norwegian Poem:
Riding is said to be worst for horses
Regin forged the best sword
Anglo-Saxon Poem:
Riding is in the hall for the warrior
soft more strenuous when astride
a great stallion pounding the log mile paths
The interesting idea for the Norwegian poem is sword may be the right time to act.
In a reading it can mean:
A journey
It could mean the path
Travel
Astral Projection
Movement
Change
Journey through life

After a month of connecting with Raido, I would say this is the rune of change, and travel. I will not say that thisey have been fun. It is the ride through life. Raido will create some change. It is also the travel or adventure rune. Wearing this for a month, you will find some adventures. When wearing this runic necklace, it’s a good idea to have a purpose.
