Help & Guide

Using the workspace.

A short tour of the tools, the rhythms, and the small things that make the practice work. Most of it is one or two clicks — but a few patterns are worth knowing on day one.

First steps

Getting started.

The workspace is six tools sitting around a single calendar engine. The calendar gives every day three coordinates — a Rune, a Glyph, and a Tone — and every other tool reads or writes against that frame.

  1. Open the dashboard for today's reading. The signature for the day is calculated automatically.
  2. Open your birthday signature, set your birth date once, and your dashboard will know which RGT you were born under.
  3. When something feels worth writing about, drop into the journal — it auto-saves as you type.
  4. When a question is calling, go to the casting workspace and pick a spread.

The dashboard

Where the day opens.

The dashboard's hero shows today's full RGT signature and date. Below it, the day's reading expands the rune, the glyph, and the tone into the full Book I appendix entry. Scroll past the reading and you'll find your birthday card and the calendar context (the next RG and GT birthdays approaching, your birthday's harmonic path, etc.).

The dashboard is read-only. To change anything — write a journal entry, cast a reading, find an upcoming RGT — open the workspace tool for that purpose.

The calendar tools

Reading any day, finding any pair.

The Calendar workspace has two tools.

Pick any date — type or pick a date and the page reads it: the RGT signature, the harmonic path (or cross-path), the supercycle number, and where it falls in the 1,560-day, 120-day, and 260-day cycles.

The Pair Finder has three modes. Next RG finds the next date a rune-glyph pairing returns (every 120 days, on its harmonic path — cross-path pairs never align). Next GT finds the next glyph-tone pairing (every 260 days, across all paths). Next RGT finds the full triad (once per 1,560-day supercycle).

The path tags below the rune and glyph dropdowns tell you which path each symbol belongs to. If you pick a rune and glyph from different paths in RG or RGT mode, the tool tells you it's cross-path and won't find a date — pick same-path symbols to land on the calendar stream.

Casting

Three spreads, three shapes of question.

The casting workspace opens with three spreads. Each draws three rune-glyph pairs into a different arrangement.

A casting page works like this: type a question (optional), click each card in the order that feels right, and once all three are drawn the Save this reading button activates. Save and your reading lands in your archive with the question, the three pairs, and a notes field.

The pairs that appear are drawn from all 480 in the system — including cross-path combinations that the calendar itself never produces. That's part of casting's flavor: the calendar gives the harmonic; the cast lets the dissonant in.

Journal & archive

Two kinds of writing, two homes.

The journal is for free-form daily writing. Each entry is anchored to that day's RGT, so you can scan back and see which days you wrote on without looking at calendar dates.

The saved-casts archive holds your castings — every reading you saved from a spread, with the question, the three pairs, and the notes you added when saving. You can search across questions, notes, and pair names; filter by spread; or export the entire archive as a JSON file.

They're separate on purpose: writing is one practice, casting is another. Both auto-save to your local browser; neither leaves your device until you export.

The 480-pair grid

Browsing the whole field.

The Grid shows every rune-glyph pairing in the system — twenty-four runes down, twenty glyphs across. The four harmonic paths form colored constellations through the matrix; the rest is cross-path (off-calendar but still meaningful in casting).

Click any cell to read its appendix entry: the short name (e.g. "Primal Creation"), the description, the encouragement, and the reflection. Search the box for a short name or a rune/glyph name; filter by path to see one constellation at a time.

Your data

Yours, on every device, exportable.

Your journal, your saved casts, your birthday signature and your settings live on your account — encrypted in transit, stored securely, and available wherever you sign in. Switch browser or device, and everything is exactly where you left it.

The settings page is your data control panel: review what's saved, clear individual sections (birthday, journal, casts), or export everything as a single JSON archive you can keep with you.

The data is yours. Closing the account or asking for deletion removes everything from our servers. Nothing is sold, nothing is shared, and nothing is used for purposes other than the workspace itself.

Asking for help

If something isn't working.

The fastest fix when something looks wrong is a hard refresh — Ctrl+F5 (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+R (Mac). That clears the browser cache and reloads the page from scratch.

For anything beyond that, write to me through the about page — I'll read every message and reply when I can.
