102313 - Othilo

Oh!  Um.  Hmm.  It looks like I didn't actually get the reading posted today on Twitter/ Tumblr/ Facebook.  The You Tube video went up.  Hmm.

And that would be why!  Just watched video.  Not my best work, and not very conclusive at the end.  I shall recap with a little more coherence.

Othilo is the rune of gifts;  it definitely has a spiritual quality to it, whether  of Spirit (a gift to balm the soul), or from the spirits (ancestors - like DNA, inheritance, talents.)

the way the rune was laying (lying?), sideways, lent the thought that the past (or possibly future) has some influence on today's gift.

The conclusion was: today is about gifts, possibly gifts received in the past that will be of importance today.  It will be interesting to see who manifests what.

***************
Tempted as I am to delete the video from You Tube, I will not.  It may serve as a teaching tool.  (How not to read the runes publically.  Even awesome people have uninspired performances.  Think before You Tube.)

What i find interesting about the whole thing is, I felt today that I was following (or benefitting from?) yesterday's reading.  (Uraz in spirit.)  I received much needed support.  I gave support naturally, easily, without all the second guessing.

So maybe my gift today... 
    ...well,  one gift of today was definitely the support I received this morning.  (Thanks, Warrior!)
  But perhaps the other gift was the opportunity to improve on yesterday's performance.



You may have noticed there's no elemental aspect to today's reading.  Yesterday was the third day in a row I had difficulty, not only with mixing the runes themselves, but with seeing the symbols.  The paint is already coming off, and it's very difficult to distinguish between the colors to get the elemental influence.  So, I decided it was time to break out the polymer and get started making my own runes from clay, as I've been planning to do for at least two years.  Naturally, I am only halfway through the first set.  But.  I am inspired  (by the mess on my table, if by nothing else).

Okay.  You may have also noticed new pages available to peruse... since the blogs are where I am giving the most energy, I am making it/them the center.  I am slowly but surely "growing" my dream.  Thank you for being a part of it.

I hope you have a great day!
