23 Jan 2011

Ansuz reversed, Othila, and Wunjo were the runes I drew this morning.

Ansuz is the messenger rune.  It reminds to consider that not everything is as it seems.  Perhaps a failed communication is a pause.  A time to think.  To clean out the well before filling it again. 

Othila is the homeland.  Within every home, is grief.  Today is a good time to look back on times, people, and actions that created grief.  Review it, let go.  In doing so, we clean out the old and make room for the new.  The pain of the past serves to strengthen our foundations.  It provides the strength to get up again after being knocked down and around.

Wunjo is the rune of Joy.  Take time to be thankful and to celebrate the people and events in your life that give you joy.  Take time to appreciate those in your life who give you joy and who you would mourn greatly if they were gone from your life.  Celebrate life!

Berkana is the advice for tonight.  Growth, Prayer, and Right Action (Inner Peace) are called for.  Be willing to grow.  Ask for help through prayer, and work at achieving inner peace.  Growth is much easier if you are at peace with your self.  Prayer can help achieve that when you can't.
