1. Venus charities: what are suitable ones, other than for the performing arts? Are women's domestic violence shelters Moon charities, Venus charities, or both?
2. Mars charities: do sports charities count as well as veterans' organizations? What others? I was reading Christopher Warnock's pages on William Lilly, and of course the subjects are all very 16th century and don't take account of what exists now. I've read plenty of times on here about literacy charities for Mercury, but less so about some of the other planets.
3. I would like to learn about runes as an alphabet and in their basic occult meanings. I am not planning to use them for divination myself, but, for example, when I see sets of runes on jewelry in a pagan store, or on someone's t-shirt, I would like to have a reasonable idea when they are a meaningful arrangement and when they are a pattern of random letters - or if I see a divination spread to have a rough idea about it as I would about tarot. I would like to learn about both Elder and Younger Futhark, and other common variations. Maybe also to recognize the most famous historical inscriptions? I have known a few of the letters for a long time, but really not the whole set(s).
What books or online documents would you, or other community members, recommend for this?
