A complicated day has come to an end. The day started with Mannaz reversed, Ansuz, and Raido.
Mannaz is the self, the Self, and the relationship between the two. When reversed, one of the other or both are out of balance. Effort to restore balance is needed. Many tools may be used: meditation, Feng Shui, prayer, etc. Meditation in the morning is lacking in my routine, which I plan on restoring. I am also researching changes I can make within my environment. These may seem trivial, however, every little change can have large impacts upon life in general.
Ansuz brings signals and at times, guilt is a signal. Guilt that I have: past, present, and future. Guilt others may have that I can help neutralize? Learn from your guilt and release it to the world for cleansing.
Raido is a journey of horse and rider. In order for both to successfully travel in the same direction and together, harmony between the travelers needs to be created and maintained. The task I am working on is to allow others to be themselves yet not allowing them to impact me directly, especially the negativity. Each challenge is a test and an obstacle to overcome and learn from. It is necessary to my development. Undertake to do it willingly, learn, and release.
Algiz is the task for tonight. Creating protection through the establishment of boundaries yet allowing holes in the boundaries through mutual trust. Boundaries cannot be tight. They need to allow influences in. Without outside influences and without influencing the external world, we live in a vacuum and that is not within our nature. We need to be influenced and we need to influence others. We are herd animals and it is our duty to live in that manner or we are unwell.
