10 Jan 2011

Inguz, Mannaz, and Dagaz graced my day. 

Inguz is the rune of Fertility, New Beginnings, Ing (the Hero God).  It talks of intuition.  The ability to "see" with your gut.  It marks the completing the beginning.  Sharing accomplishments.  Continue to clear away the past and the obstacles you have faced.  Be patient, you are entering a new period in your life.

Mannaz is the rune of Innocence.  It is always timely to remember simpler times to take advantage of the feeling of stress-free life.  Recalling the Age of Innocence is usually calming.  Take advantage of this while you start to enter your new life.

Dagaz is the rune of Purpose.  Viktor Frankl believed that each person has a purpose in life.  That purpose can be the difference between life and death.  Whether it is to serve your family, your community, or another entity, find that purpose and pursue it.  Viktor survived four camps to survive to write his book "Man's Search for Meaning."  His purpose was to survive for his family and to write his thesis.  Each of us "suffer" great trials in our lives.  Most of us will not suffer concentration camps; however, what we pay the price for to pursue our purpose in life is appropriate to us and we have the strength to follow through.  It is up to us to find, accept and take on the challenges of pursuing our Purpose.  Undertake to do it with determination and relish!

Tonight's advice is Berkana reversed.  Am I looking to meet my wants or the needs of others?  What is being selfish?  Perhaps the answer will come in Prayer.  The Right Action to take focuses on Home and Family.  Making good on my commitments, perhaps?
