22 Jan 2011

Berkana reversed, Inguz, and Dagaz were drawn today.

Berkana is a rune of growth.  Depending on how it presents itself, that growth may be free or blocked.  If it is blocked, are you creating obstacles for growth?  Even unconsciously, we may not want to approach change and may provide obstacles to slow ourselves down.  Remove obstacles and look to change as a liberator.  The new life is greater than the old.

Inguz is the rune of Fertility, represents Ing.  Look within.  Have faith in self.  Know you will grow and that is as it should be.  Faith in your abilities, be they physical or mental.  You will succeed; even stumbles are things to help create your success.

Dagaz represents the Day and with day reveals Purpose.  Purpose may be a thing or it may be the action, the process one goes through to obtain something like a goal.  Ultimately, it is a verb, it is an action.  Perhaps a new project will present itself.  Or, perhaps remember to stay on the course (or return when strayed) you set out to be on...

Tonight's project is Gebo.  Gift, trust, commitment.  Have you considered that giving yourself to a person, a relationship, or a project is one of the highest forms of hospitality?  We can give food, water, shelter, and fire are possessions that we can share.  However, they aren't of us.  Giving a piece of ourselves is the most personal thing we can do.  We choose to give to others.  We choose to give our physical being (our time, our words, our presence); our emotional being (friendship, trust, love, hate, etc); and our spiritual being (trust, true self, etc).  When we choose to give, no matter how much, we enrich our lives accordingly.
