Taiwaz is about sacrifice, balancing the needs and desires of now against those of the future.
Someone has made a choice in your favor (either your past self or someone else) & today you feel the results.
*************************
Sacrifice is such a scary word. And I do get all closed off, possibly even uptight when the word comes up.
But really, what is sacrifice? Well, okay. I just looked it up and it has a pretty heavy subtext of giving something up.
Then maybe Taiwaz isn't necessarily about sacrifice, with all that heavy weighty portent. Because nothing I felt yesterday, or participated in, felt like the end result of "sacrifice (dun dun duuuuun)".
I can see some end results. Behavior yesterday that was refined because of practice in the past. Additional fun & prizes yesterday because someone decided to give their game tickets to us some months ago. Work accomplished today because of practice through the year. And there are/ were probably a hundred little things which contributed to yesterday as the result of work and choices made in the past.
So, Taiwaz, in any position, need to not be portentous. As my next blog will state (coming up next on the Meanderings page) it's all about the little things.

The storm is not coming. But we no longer need trauma to effect a transition. We breathe, we choose, we change, we grow.
I hope you have a great day!
