8 Feb 2011

Perth reversed, Nauthiz, and Ansuz provided guidance for today.

Perth is the rune of Initiation, a secret matter; or the fun to be found in celebrations or completion of a goal.  The traditional interpretation is difficult to put into words, it is the culmination of efforts, I guess.  Perth reversed indicates things within can be worked on to find some success.  Joy in knowing what I am working on is a benefit to me, I am learning a lot of things about myself.  Creative forces are being developed...

Nauthiz is the rune of Need; and when we address needs, shame may present itself.  Shame in what we have done.  Shame in what we didn't do.  Shame in what we wish we could have done.  Shoulda, coulda, woulda.

Ansuz is a rune of messages, of communication.  Communication with self, with others.  Even when we converse with others, we converse with our Selves.  Things we talk about with close friends can be messages we would like to hear ourselves or something we need to hear, as well.

Ehwaz offers encouragement for tonight.  Ehwaz is a rune of movement.  Movement brings forgiveness and letting go in order to move on.  In light of the things I have experienced over the last week, perhaps I need to forgive myself and others for emotional issues.  Letting go of hang ups about my abilities may be timely.  There is always the fear of failure.  That fear is healthy as it keeps us grounded, to a point.  It becomes unhealthy when we allow our fears to hold us back and down.  Neutralizing them so we can develop and grow is important.
