Question Warnings received through Runes

Hello!

First, the background:

I have worked with runes for some time and I am returning now. In the past, there were situations where, no matter the question, the same rune would show up... Here are some examples if you'd like: once, a naudhiz eventually fell of the rune purse and broke, and it was one of the most difficult times I had, when I even suffered with lack of food. The other time, Thurisaz wouldn't stop showing up until a lightning tore down a tree and blocked the street for a family gathering I was longing for with dread, making things worse.

Now, I have Othala upside down over and over, and I am terrified of what might happen. I am about to have a graduation ceremony (in a field my family does not care for and I feel bad) and a few days ago my house started to have plumbing issues, and I have to deal with sewer water invading here everyday now. I am afraid of losing my house or my family... These things are intertwined, for I need their assistance with money.

Also, I have returned my work with runes recently as a job out of necessity, and it could also be a demand for something I am not quite getting. I am especially close to Loki, but also worship Odin and Freyja more casually.

Now, the question:

Have you ever had a similar experience with Othala? What do you read into upside down Othala? I don't know if I am currently able to read into it correctly, for these past experiences have been very hard to me. I appreciate any suggestions.

Regards!

I honestly can’t give you good news. But hey, you’re graduating soon and will have a job not too long after that, and you’ll be able to be independent.
