12 Feb 2011

Sowelu, Hagalaz, and Algiz were the runes of today.

Sowelu is the rune of the Sun.  Sowelu brings encouragement in the search for a complete self.  There are three entities to each relationship: self, Self, and both combined into the whole.  The pursuit of wholeness is what each of us are after.  Whether it involves our independent selves or ourselves and others.  Morning pages are excellent ways to gauge how far we have come and where we need to go.

Hagalaz is the rune of hail, of a crisis.  Two crisi entered the day with me.  A friend was in an accident, no one was seriously injured.  However, things came to light that she didn't think about before.  Another friend's mother is in poor shape and is not long for this world.  I know I have no control over these; however, they certain impact those near and dear to me.  When those near and dear are impacted by bad events, one can become angry.  After all, why should bad things happen to good people?  I realize death touches us all and the means of death varies and is appropriate for every person and the people left after their passing.  Which is better: a slow death or a sudden one??

Algiz indicates a need for protection, for mutual trust.  Protecting the Self and the self from external influences.  Protecting from the grief in the world.  Mutual trust when knowing that choices one makes are appropriate for the time and may change with more information.  Perhaps that is why my personality test was different than previous: by creating boundaries, I am insulating myself from the stress of job, protecting myself from projected feelings from others, etc.  Could be onto something there...

Wunjo reversed is tonight's guide.  Things are slow to come to fruition, a crisis may be at hand.  Perhaps my friend will hear news tonight and then will be able to turn her focus inward to herself and her family.  There is a time when we need to focus attentions to partners and offspring over our parents or other family members.  Serenity and celebration need to occur daily in our lives.  We need to look for serenity in the little things when we feel there is none to be found.  Celebrate the new day, new beginnings.
