17 Feb 2011

Fehu reversed, Eihwaz, and Gebo provided for guidance for today.

Fehu represents wealth.  Wealth can come in a variety of forms: physical wealth, monetary, emotional, etc.  Today was a wealth of information, coming in many forms.  Learning how co-workers deal with stress.  Learning how subordinates deal with a crisis.  Learning how my frustrations are not as bad when compared to those of others.  Remember, a charmed life does not necessarily mean that person has/does not have no stress.  Some of that charm appears to balance the significant challenges that person faces.  There are people whom I admire for their ability to handle some of the most adverse and challenging situations that come across their lives.  I know the friends we gather around ourselves are a reflection of us.  If that is any indication, I can live my challenges with persistent grace.

Eihwaz links our world with other worlds.  It is an opportunity to help others and ourselves.  Have compassion for others.  Help them when they have issues, especially with their own skills.  And compassion for friends who have challenging situations at home.  Learn from these; how their events interact and reflect upon yours.

Gebo is the rune of gifts.  One gift is commitment, especially when relationships are involved.  Does it help to show your commitment to a person when that person is not around to hear or see?  Be loyal to the absent.  Showing or stating commitment for a relationship even when that person is absent, solidifies the commitment in your own head.  Sometimes, that is even more important than when you are observed.  If you think it, it becomes.

Hagalaz is the task for tonight.  Hagalaz represents hail, which is a very disruptive force.  Anger can be disruptive and can cause damage if not recognized, addressed, and neutralized.  Challenges are also disruptions.  Facing them and meeting them can bring them under control.  I did notice that on the days I don't write, my attitude isn't always as good as it could be.  I don't remember seeing that before.  Will make a point to be better about writing.  I am sure there are things I need to address.  I wonder what the night will bring...
