Cheryl Morrien

Cheryl Morrien

Cheryl Morrien was seven years old when she vanished in the Netherlands on August 5th 1986. Robert Black is believed to be connected to her case; she was the right age, vanished at the right time of year (Black liked taking girls during the holidays) and Black was known to visit Amsterdam.

So, let’s see.

The first rune is Gebo, merkstave. Greed, loneliness, dependence, toll, privation. The greed could be described as Black (or whoever took Cheryl) wanting to control a victim. Maybe a physical toll on the road?

The second rune is Thurisaz. Reactive force, directed force of destruction and defence, conflict.  Eroticism, a tendency to change. Male sexuality. This could indicate that she was taken for a sexual reason.

Black was a violent person; during Jennifer Cardy’s murder, her watch was broken, Sarah Harper was thrown into a river while she was still alive, the girl he abducted in 1990 was shoved under the dashboard, as well as stuffed in a sleeping bag. The male sexuality goes with greed, indicating a violent predator.

The third rune is Perthro. A secret matter, a mystery, hidden things. Close to femininity, including the vagina. This, combined with the other two runes, does not look good for Cheryl. Black’s victims were ‘hidden’ in his van and possibly his house.

If he DID abduct Cheryl, then her circumstances would be similar to the girl he took in 1990. It is likely that Cheryl was hidden under the dashboard, or stuffed in a container, while Black drove around looking for somewhere private, bringing us back to privation.

The fourth rune is Sowilo, merkstave. Bad counsel, false success, loss of goals, destruction, retribution, justice. This does seem to confuse me. Maybe her abductor had something ‘wrong’ with her, maybe she didn’t ‘satisfy’ him. This confuses me. But there is hope, as ‘justice’ is shown, so maybe her body will be found and her abductor punished.

The fifth rune is Uruz, merkstave. Weakness, obsession, domination by others, sickness, ignorance. Lust, brutality, violence. All hallmarks of a Black abduction. The weakness and obsession could be Black’s desire to have a victim and control them. The sickness could be his desire as well, whereas ignorance could be ignoring how she felt.

This sort of thing disgusts and frightens me. How a child must have felt, no matter how well-tuned with ‘stranger danger’, when a van suddenly blocks their path and they’re dragged in, then suffering things they don’t understand. It revolts me and is part of the reason why I try and do these runes so I can help victims.

The sixth rune is Fehu, merkstave. A failure. The loss of something. Cowardice, poverty, slavery, bondage. I think by now that Cheryl has left us. I think she feels as if she has failed to survive Black; she probably still feels as if she has failed. I feel for this poor child, having to be treated like that.

The seventh rune is Hagalaz, merkstave. Catastrophe. Loss of power. Pain, suffering, loss, sickness, crisis. Again, I think this is how Cheryl feels and perhaps still feels.

The eighth rune is Jera. Hope of peace. Life cycle, the cycle of the universe. I think this one is showing that Cheryl will get some peace eventually, that her abductor will be brought to justice.

Knowing about Black and psychopaths like him make me sick to the stomach, especially that before the 1990s, these pedophiles got away with their crimes, without AMBER Alert, without the sex offender registers being public, without technology to track the children.

The ninth rune is Isa, merkstave. Egomania, dullness, blindness, treachery, illusion, betrayal, plots. These could all be what Black used, to get away with these. The betrayal could be of what I mentioned above, the fact that the law – in the Netherlands and beyond – failed their children in cases like Black’s.

Now, for where she is.

Wealth, maybe a rich place or a bank? Sea. Iron. Dockyards? Moors. Cliff. Furnish. Broken. Grain. Heaven. Water. Ice. River. Bridge. Harvest, maybe farm? Sun. Earth.
