It looks like Information, inspiration, communication

is coming in to you regarding or from your Clan.

*****************************************************************************

Clan is a funny thing. It can be the family of your blood. The family of your profession. The family of your interests. The family of your heart.

I have a family of blood, of course. One I keep contact with *G*. And I had a very interesting (and unexpected) meditation communication with one member.  It was cool, when I finished questioning the possibilities and just allowed it to be.

I have family of the heart, definately. People I have come to consider bosom companions, and with whom i actually discuss things I consider private. Nothing unusual came in to play with them yesterday.

Family of my profession & interests. There was a definite message about both on what kind of teacher (coach) I hope I am, and what kind of teacher I prefer to work with to further my learning. You have to know your stuff. Be able to articulate your stuff. Be able to use different approaches if I'm not getting it. Critic, but do not express judgment - either of me, or of yourself in how well you're doing at teaching. (At least during the class. When we've gone our separate ways, express judgment all you want.)

I have received one other message - I prefer to be with, learn from, people who celebrate their activities, feel the passion, "do it because they love it". For them, I am happy to return energy in the form of cash, or time, or service.

I hope you have a great day!

Remember those parties, those celebrations with all your clan about you?  What made it a party?  What makes them family?


*********************************************************

For me, yesterday's remeniscense had nothing to do with family or close friends, per se.  It had, again, to do with work.  With being happy at what I am doing.  With the clan, family I created at various places of employment.

Where was I happiest?  What made these people family?  Where did I create relationships that still hold strong today?

I have worked in many places: fast food, dry cleaners, corporations, schools, furniture, books, metaphysical, clothes, car dealership.  Today, I my closest, deepest, longest lasting friendships come from two places - the bookstore & the metaphysical store.

So what makes them family or clan?  Shared interests.  Similair language.   An open-mindedness.  And a feeling I could be myself, I was myself, I was accepted for myself.  All of this adds up to happiness.

So why did I leave these places?  Certainly not because of the people.  But in each instance, I felt, simply, the urge to move on.  That my happiness quotient was now ready for a new ingredient.  and I have tried to go back to these places.  I still visit both stores with regularity, and even do some of my work in both places.  But a stronger foothold, or  a more permanent work relationship, has been unavailable with either place.

So, now I know what I worked in the past.  What kind of environment I want.  A metaphysical book store.  I even have some interesting ideas about opening my own.  But...  

Isn't that a wonderful word, but...?

So, we'll skip that word and just leave it at that.  A metaphysical bookstore.  Could encompass all my talents and bring more people I would love to meet.

Let's see what's next.

So. Now, what things made those Clan gatherings uncomfortable? And, or, what events/ groups are definately not family?

I hope you have a great day!

Fly your "freak flag" high & proudly, 

so your peeps can find you!

********************************************************************************************************************************

I think  I covered the wide range of interpretations for this one yesterday.

First, I started my adventures out in the world by flying my freak OUT flag.  It helped me waste a lot of time by searching frantically for something I KNEW was already in the car.  And then I took the wrong highway to my voice lesson, so I was late.

Now, on the other hand, my freak flag allowed me to be comfortable and at ease during a test drive of a vehicle.  And thus, I was able to drive the manual transmission vehicle without stalling.  Not even once!  In my favor, the vehicle won't even try to start if the clutch isn't engaged, so there was no horrible, neck-wrecking jerking to begin THAT adventure.  Yay!  It was my first time doing a test drive all by myself (as in, no other family or friends with me.)  Just me and the salesperson.   And my freak flag allowed me to be me, who turns out to be a pretty decent person.  Yay again!  And I had a nice discussion with the salesperson.  Yay times 3.

Then I came to the moment when it was time to lower the freak flag.  The usual methods of either freaking out more or just bouncing off the walls and being unproductive didn't make me feel happy.  I did have to take a few moments and put my feet in cold water (and yes, actually run the AC) because it had been a warm and busy day.  To me that's an annoying freak need, but taking care of myself is key to continued production.  Which is what commenced after my soak.

Maybe that's a different freak flag.  The calm switch from one project, one goal, to the next.  

So how many "freak flags" do I have, anyway?  Probably a colorful array!  How about you?

Today is a good day to reflect on the clan's triumphs & sorrows.  Celebrate the past so we can move cleanly into the future.

********************************************



Dear all:

This has nothing to do with the last reading.  I just wanted to let you know, the whirlwind, which has been gearing up and taking practice runs, is about to start in earnest.  While I hope and expect to do a daily rune reading (which will appear on twitter, tumblr, and facebook - for links, go to the Home page on this website) I don't know if I'll do any posting here for the next week.  

We have been practicing and practicing, calm and breathing and truths.  And now it's time to practice with other people and other locations.  Expand the horizons.  Open myself up.  Right?  Right.  There are no mistakes.  My truth is my truth regardless of location and company.  And a deep breath, stepping back, and focusing on what's immediate -- these are the steps that will help me return to this blog in a relatively sane frame of mind.  *wry grin*.

Interestingly, today's reading speaks to that.  At least I think so.

To achieve your goals today, remember what worked successfully in the past.

You have done it.  You can do it.  You will do it.  You are doing it.  You have done it!

See you on the flip side!  And I hope you have a great day.

LIR 22714 - No rune & Wunjo

A day to practice our truths, with no special emphasis. 








 But, if you need something to ponder, try this.  What symbols do you want to represent you?  Around which flags do you wish to gather?


********************************************

Yesterday was actually a day of review.  I had a good talk with a friend, to help reestablish some of my thought processes, good food, and some productivity in the writing department.  So.  A good day.

I don't know if I gave much thought to the symbolism thing per se.  I did have a day dream or two about travelling to writers' conferences on a leer jet with a patron/ teacher/ publisher person.  Would the leer jet be the symbol?  Actually, it might, as it signifies the wealth, the freedom and the travel.

Hmm.  I want to be a member of the jet set?

********************************************
LIR 22814 - No rune & Othilo

Another day of review, practice, perhaps a little relaxation - with contemplation brought to you by Othilo.
How have family values & traditions influenced your current truths?  Are they compatible?  Divergent?  Still part of the same "family"?

I hope you have a great day!

-Lila

LIR 22414 - Wunjo

The clan may be gathering around you, physically or energetically.

How would you call them together?  What symbol or flag would represent them?  And does that symbol align with your truths?

********************************

I would not say I was aware of any gathering yesterday, physically or energetically from any of my various clans.  

The symbology thing was interesting though.  Many years ago I found a symbol, in a book about unicorns, which I adapted to be my symbol.  It is very similar to symbols and runes which are already out there.  I hadn't thought about it in a while.  A long while, actually.

I get daily recommendations from Snag a Job for jobs "in my area"; and I clicked on one suggestion yesterday because of the name of the company.  And there was a variation of my symbol, as their logo.  My stomach did a little jump.  Maybe this was my job!  (heavenly choir, spotlights dancing.)

But.

They were looking for call center persons, which is not something I am currently interested in.  And I wasn't particularly thrilled by the services the company offered.  But I wondered if it was something i should apply for anyway, because I resonated with the logo.  Maybe there was something more to the company.  Something underneath, better than it looked.

But, I tend not to be that subtle, for all I like to call a spade a long apparatus with which one turns dirt.  So my perfect job (with confetti and a kick line) will tempt me with things I am interested in and then reward me with things I like.   My truth has nothing to do with call centers and outsourcing.  Even if it's wrapped with a pretty bow.

Today's situation is based on past decisions, past actions.  Some choices were yours, but other people's choices affect us too.

So when you're celebrating your current fortune, you might take a moment to celebrate everyone who chooses.

I hope you have a great day!

A day to connect with the family of your heart and share the latest news. 

**********************************************
Well, okay.  I took this reading as a directive and wrote emails, checking in with people, and making sure others knew about my future plans.  

Interestingly enough, I received an email from my a young person who doesn't do a lot of emailing.  It was about homework.

And reached out and went to see a movie with another heart friend.  That could be a celebration.

shrug.

Feeling a little isolated?  Take those moments.  Feeling frazzled?  Step aside & claim some moments.  Use this time to be calm and happy with yourself.  Heal.

I hope you have a great day!

1414 - Wunjo on it's side (yes, really)

Today you may have something to celebrate.  Do you wish to share with your clan?  Or keep it close a little while longer?


Well, over the last few days (I think it's been 3?) I have had events, feelings about which to communicate.  And some I did share with my vast clan (ie- Facebook); some I "shared" with my close clan.  And some I shared with just my person.

Part of the decision, for me, over what to share, had to do with personal goals.  Talking about things is good, because there is something purging about speaking things out loud.  And sometimes, discussing things helps put it into a shape, a possibility, it cannot achieve inside my head.   But talking about something also seems to diminish its impact on myself. I keep it's importance by keeping it a secret.

I also find I have jealousy or possession issues.  I don't want to compare and contrast my feelings with another person...  their feelings are just as valid as mine, but I want to feel unique and alone, sometimes, for a while.  My feelings.  My celebration.  My trauma.  Mine, mine, mine.

I've also found it is more and more difficult to describe the feelings.  The usual words... happy, sad, excited, scared, driven...  they are small words compared to what I feel.  I now understand why some cultures reportedly have a thousand words for snow.  I need a word for that calm moment of rejection when it's actually not only okay, but expected and I know it's the best thing for everyone concerned but I still feel a little sad but mostly I am greatly excited about the future.

So, yes, I have been on the fence about a lot of communication & communal celebrations these last few days.  Have you?

Yay!  More production from actions taken in the past!  And also a reminder.  Our actions today create harvest for the future.

I hope you have a great day!

103013 - Wunjo

A day to remember the family of your heart, those you have had, and those you hope to have.

******************************

And oh, what a day of family.  I connected with various forms of family in all ways: text, talk, email, social media, and, of course, memory.

It seems that for many, the over all theme of this time of change is finding one's... tribe, clan, support group, band, pack, herd, church, community... whatever name you use for those with whom you share a vibration, a language.

I have tribe members in the corporate world, in the art world, in retail and in entertainment.  Front room and back of house, penthouse floozy *G* and basement gnome.  We all have different jobs, different life pursuits, different jargon and even different views about the way the world should operate.  But, we speak the same language.  There is a universal translator working between us.

It is true, not all of the members' of my hearts' family are members of my tribe.  We don't always communicate well.  It is also true there are many who have come and gone from my family; and many who have stayed while I came and went from their lives.  Family is not constant because we change and grow, and our vibrations change with us. 

So, let us take a moment here, on the night before All Hallow's, and think about all those families, all those tribes we've been a part of.  Schools and classrooms and clicks.  Best friends and sort of friends and worst enemies.  boyfriends and girlfriends, choir and theater and band, clubs and teams.  Through jobs and meetings and family events; store sales and adult groups and dance clubs.  To all those connections, we give a moment's thought.

Tomorrow being Samhain, I am taking the day off.  But I will be scheduling my rune reading for November to post tomorrow, so here's hoping it works!  (something new.  Yay!)

And Friday I may or may not be able to sit and post...  So, if not sooner, gentle beings, I expect to type at you on Saturday.  So I hope you have a great Holiday, also!  L
