(Something happened when I was trying to reply to this so if a 
truncated reply appears I'm really sorry - I'm not having much luch 
with the PC at the moment!!)

The first thing I did was check that symbol in the ring in a book of 
runes and it is not there.  There is a similar one (but the wiggly 
bits go the other way (IYSWIM).  That one is called sigel - the sun 
and it did interest me that it says it is closely associated with 
the astrological sign Leo (Harry is a Leo isn't he?).  When this 
rune appears in a reading it implies that the subject has been 
overstretched of late and is in need of a rest (*!*).  It also means 
that they are in a situation that they need to take control of (*!
*).  If this rune appears next to other positive ones then it means 
the subject is at the peak of their powers.  This rune can further 
be seen as the principal of the guiding light.  It's appearance can 
mean that the subject is in need of help, needing someone or 
something to arise and show them the way forward.

All I can say is the mind boggles.  Perhaps the artist meant it to 
be this one, but got the 'squiggle' wrong.  Perhaps it's just a 
coincidence?

Anyone out there with actual rune knowlege rather than just a 
reference book - HELP!!!
