Raido, Ehwaz, and Gebo were the runes I drew this morning.
Raido is a journey through communication to a union or reunion. The journey you undertake to discover your Self and how it interacts in your life and relationships with others Some times, you need to wait. Waiting is not always non-action. While you wait, look within for the characters that slow your progress when you find them, take action to neutralize them. Ask your Higher Power for help. Raido is one of the runes within the Cycle of Initiation and within it is the rune of Joy. The end is in sight.
Ehwaz is the rune of Forgiveness. Part of living and moving forward to live today for the day is to forgive. Forgiving creates peace with the past. Recognizing when or what you did wrong and making amends by asking for forgiveness or taking actions to rectify the past. Even though someone may not recognize your actions, immediately or never, you recognize them. If you are on the receiving end, you should be aware and recognize those actions and acknowledge them. I failed to do that today. For that, I apologize.
Gebo is the rune of Commitment. To commit to something or someone is not something to enter in lightly. Committing to a car, for example, involves maintaining that system and meeting legal requirements (license and insurances and registration). Committing to a person requires the same thing. A personal commitment is more complicated: you commit to yourself, that person, and any project you agree to undertake. I spent part of the day doing research for a joint project. I learned a lot of things! Remember any relationship you enter into is comprised of at least three parts: your life, the other person's life, and your lives together. Let the wind dance between you. A joint project is an excellent example of being committed to a common goal and each other.
Tonight's offering is Kano reversed: Opening, Fire, Torch; Acceptance; and Inner Peace. Kano in the reversed position appears more often that in the upright position; at least for me. It is often appropriate as I need to develop inner stability and remove the chains created by my past. I can't remove the scars, but I can remove the chains attaching me to the creator through them. Accepting the past so I can look to the future is important. It is vital to help gain Inner Peace.
