Today's guidance was found within Ehwaz, Teiwaz, and Sowelu.
Ehwaz is movement. Movement comes in many forms. Spending time with friends/co-workers and getting to know them. Work-social events never fail to remind me how a working environment can become a family. That family supports each other in times of need. When there is no family, no one knows who their co-workers are; what is happening in their lives; and ultimately have no investment in the people you spend 1/3 of your day, five days a week, with. It is unfortunate that people work in essentially hostile environments! Personally, I am making progress in my own life. I started my speech before 30 minutes before I am scheduled to deliver it! I also made the effort to have a positive day (it did not start out that way). Who would have known that Morning Pages could reverse a definitely bad day?
Teiwaz represents Tiw, Tiw was a great warrior. Vikings painted Teiwaz on their shields for protection. Teiwaz favored justice within himself and the world. He also embodied courage. Courage can be needed for the simplest of things: knowingly and actively changing the tone of a day, for one thing.
Sowelu brings the Sun and its energy. Its energy brings new growth and it heals the heart and soul by bringing a new season. Changing the tone of the day is healing in that it means we can manipulate our attitudes and the resulting actions. Healing ourselves is a big step and is very reassuring and affirming!
Eihwaz is guiding tonight's actions. Connecting light and dark; life and death; divine and mortal; etc. Expand your abilities and you might be surprised at what you can develop. I am amazed that "we" have forgotten how to talk to different levels of life. It is something to consider and ask for help with.
