Happy Birthday, Shortie!
Today's runes were Nauthiz reversed, Berkana, and Jera. Another one of those days. Not exactly bad, but not exactly stellar, either.
Nauthiz is the rune of constraint, necessity, pain; traditionally, it was the rune of need. Maintain focus, maintain faith in your self and your Self. Recognizing things that have been in place for a long time, that won't change, and perhaps shouldn't change. Feast and famine. The swing of a pendulum. The things that feed self doubt. The hardest thing is to fight yourself; knowing what is real, what is assumed, and ones place and role. "Men's minds tend to fear more keenly those things that are absent." ~ Julius Ceasar
Berkana is the rune of Prayer and Growth/Birth. Part of the inner battle is to assert oneself upon the inner critic. To fight the implied with facts from the past, with experience. Help from traditions, from the Divine are always worthy and good to seek out. Answers may not appear readily. Look deeper. Asking may not be done readily, either. The answers may just appear.
Jera is the rune of Perseverance; a period of time is involved for a project. Don't give up. Keep after a project. Keep the goal in sight. No matter the obstacle: external or interal; keep putting one foot in front of the other. You will succeed.
Mannaz reversed offers advice for tonight. Facing myself. Facing what I have not worked on. Facing the need to break old habits so new ones can take place. The trinity appears. The trinity comes in many forms: Father, Son, Holy Spirit; Body, Heart, Soul; self, Self, The Whole; etc. When you find yourself at the beginning, look to your self and its relationship with the Self. Are they at odds with each other? Is your critic tearing you up? Its time to bring them back into harmony with each other so the relationship can bloom.
