Used by the priesthood extensively when a novice takes his holy orders, Perth is also used as a marker or warning of arcane lore. 

The Eddas Skalds often place locking wards on books considered too dangerous for the uninitiated, and Perth is a component of those wards. Many mages utilise similar locking wards on their own collections of lore and materials. 

Perth is also used to protect the contents of a message from falling into the wrong hands. Messengers can be enchanted to forget the message they carry until the correct activating phrase is spoken.

''Divination:'' Deep inner transformations are at work, but achievements are not easily or readily shared. A secret is at the heart of the upcoming struggle, either to be defended or unmasked.

There may be suprise gains or rewards coming unexpectedly. 

Perth is associated with the phoenix, consuming itself in fire and rising from the ashes. This rune is symbolic of the unknown, the great mysteries of the worlds beyond.

Reversed, it counsels against expecting too much, or expecting the usual. The world has changed and the querant must change with it. New methods, tools and/or knowledge is called for. Past understanding may need to be abandoned.
