Eihwaz, Dagaz, and Algiz shared their advice for today's events and activities.
Eihwaz is the rune of very different interpretations: modern is of Defense; traditional addresses spiritual pursuits. Considering both, they do go hand-in-hand. However, they are very separate. Spiritual pursuits were the focus of my day. Working on my relationship with my Self and its relation to Higher Power. Defense enters into the picture because it is important to properly ground yourself. Grounded, a person can accept what is offered and prevent being overwhelmed by the offerings.
Dagaz is the rune of Day. With the light of day, fear is dissipated, and hope is restored. Listen to the messages, pursue the ideal. Hope is the last gift we have: both for ourselves and for others. We offer it others and we treasure it in our own hearts. Hope that we will achieve our purpose. Hope that we will achieve what we have worked for. Hope is the greatest of gifts, for without it and without a purpose, we cease to exist.
Algiz is a rune of Warning, to protect oneself. It represents a sword. A double-edged sword. Grasp the sword with care as you can cut yourself upon the blade. The sword serves as a defense and can be used upon the offense. Mutual trust, in relationships, is that sword. Give your trust with care, do not give it blindly. Trust with care; however, do not horde it in a miserly fashion. Ungiven trust can rust and fail you when you call upon it to help your cause. Likewise, carelessly given trust can turn and wound you by cutting into your emotional armor. Bestow trust upon those who have earned it. Give it easily while practicing prudence.
Raido indicates a journey for tonight. A physical, mental, emotional, or psychic journey may be in the offering for tonight. The journey may also be a proverbial one, one related to character. It may indicate the journey I have been traveling lately is timely and may serve as encouragement to continue upon this path. Whichever, I choose to undertake it with delight.
