Hagalz, Isa, and Inguz were the runes I drew this morning.

Hagalz, the rune of Hail, Disruption, and Elemental Power; forecasts change, disruption, and everything else associated with disruption.  Have you ever thought that the little changes you made weren't amounting to much very quickly?  And things that you secretly want for yourself seem to happen for other people instead of you?  And then, something happens that puts your world on its ear and you take notice that even though you aren't where you wanted at the time you wanted; what you are doing may be making more progress than you thought because something happens to solidify your actions?  THAT would be the power of Hagalz. 

Isa indicates Fear of progress in healing.  Fear of the past, the future?  Fear that you aren't doing the right things?  Address your fears and neutralize them by realizing they are impacted by things in the past.  Things that hurt, humiliated, or pained you in a way.  Slowly eliminate them one at a time and come out a stronger person!

Inguz is the rune of Renewal.  Renewing a relationship allows for trust to be strengthened.  When trust, the foundation of any and all relationships, is improved and strengthened, the relationship becomes stronger and better able to weather the challenges presented along the way.  It is like a bank account.  The more money placed into the account, the more money is available for withdrawal when it is needed.  Likewise, when trust is built and strengthened, the relationship is better able withstand trials and tribulations.  When it comes to the relationship with ones Self, Renewal allows the self to gain perspective, faith in oneself, Self-esteem, and better able to address attacks on the Self.  Better able to look upon these challenges as something to learn from. 

Tonight's draw is Uruz reversed: Strength, Man/Womanhood, the Wild Ox; Gratitude; and Support.
Take stock of my relationships, in particular, with my Self.  Have I been living in a haze?  Do I need to "wake up" and pay attention?  Do not draw back just because I don't know where I am going.  Dive right in and be thankful for the opportunities.  Be grateful for the opportunities to live and explore different paths of life.  Express Gratitude for the people in my life.  And Support those in my life.  Paying attention by listening and watching to provide support as needed.  Never assume you know what support is needed, when in doubt, ask.  We "tame" each other much like the Wild Ox was tamed for service.  We tame each other by learning to live with each other by building trust and supporting each other.  Communicating with each other is the key to make this all possible.  Be thankful for those people in your life allowing you to "tame" them by developing a relationship and supporting them.
