Jera reminds us that very few things are immediate.  There is always a time frame involved in each and every project we undertake.  Even things that suddenly happen have been developing over a defined time frame.  Who defines the time frame?  Who knows.  It is not in our hands, specifically.  It is dependent upon our actions and those of others.  I made some progress on a couple needlework projects today and got to speak in my "native" accent with a fellow art club member.  It is always fun and I enjoy it so much, a taste of home.

Isa is the rune of ice, of isolation, of fear.  Its a good time to slow down, think about our fears and how we can neutralize them.  Remember where we have come from, what it took to get us here, where we want to go, and how to get there.  Only when we address our fears, looking at where they came from/how we got the fear, then we can dis-spell them.

Teiwaz represents Tiw and was painted onto shields in battle.  We often forget that a battle is a passionate event, we rarely went into battle without being behind the reason for the event.  Loss of blood, limb, and body is a significant waste if we enter battle without supporting the cause.  The passion for the cause is what separates a warrior or a hero with plain ol' cannon fodder.  Remember that.  If whatever you are facing is worth the efforts and you are truly passionate about the reason for going forward with that cause, win or lose, you will be a warrior and worthy of appreciation. 


Wunjo is the task for tonight.  The rune of joy, serenity, of celebration.  Happy that Spring has arrived; serene in my life; and celebrate a new day!
