11 Jan 2011

Do you believe in numerology?  Today is 1/11/11 and many people looked to today to be remarkable.  I ask, how do you know if a day is remarkable?  Shouldn't we wait until history says it is remarkable or not?  Perhaps, it is up to each individual to make a day such as today a remarkable day.  Then, the argument would become, shouldn't we make every day a remarkable day?  Do the research and determine for yourself if today (or Nov. 11, 2011 at 11:11 am not pm because pm would be 23:11) is a day you should take note of or not.

Today's selection was Kano reversed, Sowelu, and Gebo.

When Kano appears in my readings for the day, it is usually reversed.  Kano (Opening, Fire, Torch) is one of the runes of Cycle of Initiation.  Kano provides light in various locations through the path of life.  It illuminates things you need to change to progress.  When it appears reversed, look to yourself to determine what needs to change.  Or, live for a while empty.  This may involve implementing things you have learned recently or healing in general.   

Sowelu offers us the opportunity to have Compassion.  Compassion for ourselves and for others.  Compassionate beings do not judge.  I recognize each of us judges one another to determine how that person fits into our lives.  However, it is not our place to pass judgment on others actions.  We are our own worst critics, we do not need others to add to what we do to ourselves.  Compassion can change fear into love.

Gebo is the gift of Commitment.  Trust is an important foundation of Commitment.  Part of committing to something or someone is to maintain your individuality while joining to create a higher being.  When we commit to a person or a purpose, we create a higher being and we are enhanced because of it. 

Ansuz reversed is the tonight's task: Signals, Messenger Rune, Loki; Guilt; and Communication.  If the well is clogged, clean it out.  Adversity is an excellent thing to meditate on.  Make amends.  Deal with conflict so Guilt starves.  Make peace with the past so you can move to the future.  Addressing guilt does not mean you have to go it alone: share your experiences with others, even the Higher Power.  Communicating makes a relationship stronger.  A strong relationship has a strong emotional bank account.  A strong bank account can withstand a large withdrawal.  Likewise, a strong relationship can withstand a large challenge.  Everything we do is an action that strengthens our relationships.
