This is a snippet of the table. This shows the different categories Freya, Hagal, and Tyr. I need a explanation, maybe that isn’t quite the right word, but that is all I can come up with at the moment.
Anyway, here is part of the db. There are 24 entries in total, 8 per category.
|Aettir|Name|Sound|Color|Keywords|Description|
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

|Tyr's Aettir|Teiwaz|T|Green|Creator|Teiwaz can promise us success in our actions but this time without personal sacrifice. It also means success in legal matters but only if we were in the right to begin with.
And here is the entire script I am using for the page…
<?php
// Load variables
require_once 'dbconn.php';

}
The First Aett represents the Life Cycle.

Listing of Runes and Their Meanings
|
|
|
An Aettir, or Aett, is a division within the runes. Each Aett is associated with
a different meaning. The Aettir not only imply an initiatory structure, each Aett being one degree in a three-degree system, but they seem to reflect the age-old division of tribal
society: the nurturer, the warrior, and the priest or king.
The first Aett is Freya's, the Aett of the nurturer: the mother, the farmer, and the merchant.
These divisions are reflected in the Aetir of the Runes in different ways. If you look carefully, you may notice some overlap in the duties of the Runes. Each Aett has its complement
of functions and its own character.
The Runes you choose to use, whether individually or combined are affected by the Aett in which they belong. There is more to a choice between Kenaz, Sowilo, and Othala than
personal preference. There is a greater difference between Isa and Tiwaz, both being representative of a spear, than Isa and Hagalaz, both being representative of ice or winter.
The nature of this balance differs depending on which Aett is involved. This difference reflects the group of the society to which the Rune belongs.
So Fehu is wealth within Freya's Aett of the nurturer, while Ingwaz is wealth (or property) within the terms of the priest/king.
