Ruis- Elder

The end in the beginning and the beginning in the end

     This Ogham card is linked to the eternal turning of life and death, birth and rebirth. It represents the end in the beginning and the beginning in the end; life in death and death in life; the casting out of the devils of the old year and the renewal and creativity of the new; the timelessness of the cycle by which the fading of old age is always balanced by the new start of birth.

     This card has no reversed position. The circle will always turn afresh, change and creativity arising from the old and bringing about the new. All is continuously linked as phases of life and experience repeat themselves in subtly different forms, leading always to renewal.
