18 Feb 2011

Odin, Raido, and Gebo guided today.

Odin is the contemporary representation of the Unknown, the Divine.  Something is coming to an end, something is beginning.  The period of transition is undefined.  Am I in between or at the end or at the beginning?  How do I know?  Even more, how do I know WHAT is the end or the beginning?  Is it the 12 months of my job transition?  Is it a change in my life: be it physical, mental, emotional, marital, other?  I suppose time will tell.

Raido is a journey.  Surrender to the journey.  I know I am on a journey.  I am seeing ravens on a daily basis, heralding a change.  The change, in theory, fluctuates because I see varying numbers, depending on the day.  Perhaps my mission statement will make its presence known one of these mornings...  I know life is a journey.  I feel like I am spinning my wheels, go no where.  I suppose a stall is a journey and this is perhaps a time for me to learn, rest, gain strength, and knowledge before a huge step forward is taken...  Only time will tell.

Gebo is the rune of Gift.  Being loyal to the absent must start with being loyal to the self and Self, as well.  Perhaps I asked for evidence of his health and presence and I received that, indirectly.  Its time to look within and focus upon my Self.  Give the gift to me.  Commit to my own development.

Algiz provides guidance for tonight's task.  A rune of defense, it also can bring a person in touch with its Self or with a form of the Divine.  At times, boundaries are needed to protect the self and the Self.  If you are not prepared, you can be hurt.  Exploring internal strengths, weaknesses, and needs requires a mutual trust between the self and the Self.  This holds true with the Divine as well.

  1. Journeys do require rest, Ria. Without rest, we break down, forget which direction we were going, and start beating our selves up when we aren't moving very fast. Deep breaths.
