15 May 2011

Hagalaz, Isa, and Ehwaz guided the day.  I must admit, I was expecting a humdinger of a day.  It was fairly pleasant, all things considered.

Hagalaz brings disruption, hail, etc.  I usually associate Hagalaz with all sorts of things, few pleasant.  The most challenging thing to happen today was cooking wild rice.  First, I have no idea how the recipe I followed was designed to feed one person with leftovers.  I doubled it and could feed all of my family.  Uffdah!

Isa brings isolation and part of isolation is addressing our fears.

Ehwaz advises to let go.  Let go of what?  Each of us decides.  Look within for guidance, it will come.  Look for it.  Just look.

What a refreshing surprise, the draw tonight.  Perth presented itself.  Intuition, love, intimacy.  The original interpretation described the atmosphere in the old halls: joy, revelry, gaming, living.  When you look at the three of Blum's interpretations, they address just that: living.  We have to remember to live even when life throws challenges in our direct path.  Those challenges are there to test us and remind us to appreciate the great times and look for mushrooms in the dung.  Say thank you for everything.  Thank you.  Thank you. Thank you!
