LIR 62414 - IngwazR & Algiz

It may feel like nothing’s taking root today.

It may even feel impossible, or worse, improbable.

But only you decide your reality. 

So even if it feels uphill all the way, when you give energy to the goal, you are succeeding.

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

Well, this post had me thinking all day long.  First, because it seemed to be speaking directly to me - since I had difficulty getting out of bed and getting to work on time.  So yes, I was boosting myself a little.  But then, I figured, I want to put the positive in readings anyway!  Silver linings, right?  And if I do it for everyone else, I can darn well do it for myself.

Later, as I posted my first fiverr gig (link available soon on UnicAllen page), I thought - what if this is the thing that doesn't take root?  What if no one wants my brand of reading?

And the rest still applies.  What's important is practicing putting myself out there.  It's like submitting books to publishers.  When it's right, it'll be right.  Meanwhile, I gotta keep doing what I love doing.

Tonite, I finally figured it out.  The things that won't take root are all the calories I consumed today!  See, a silver lining after all.  So there.

I hope you have a great day!

102013 - Ehwaz in water

Today, the herd is all flowing together regarding an emotional (or watery) issue.  Again, you decide.  Do you wish to stay with the group, or do your own thing?  What make you happy?

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

Yes, I did laugh when this rune came up today, considering yesterday was reversed in air.  If I pull Ehwaz tomorrow, I may suspect myself of rigging the whole thing. *G*.

As for my experience with watery Ehwaz, the only thing I can relate it to is this:  A member of my herd spoke of retiring today, and his plans to do a lot of diving.  We all agreed that would be fun and a good idea for him.

And that would be all I would have for you today, except I was given permission to share this:

In a personal reading for a warrior of my community, the rune Algiz appeared.
Algiz is the Spiritual Warrior.  It generally represents a silent partner, a benefactor, or a guardian spirit.
In this reading, the rune was on the outside, and pointing back toward the client.  Which, roughly, could be translated as "Oh, by the way, you're going to be someone's spiritual warrior today."

It turns out, she was.  The warrior purchased a gift for a friend, something the friend probably wouldn't have purchased for herself because, while she like the item, she doubted if it was really her style.  However, when adorned, the friend received favorable feedback.  So, you might say the warrior was a benefactor, in that she made a purchase.

But it goes beyond that.  The purchase and the resultant feedback has a chance to change how the friend views her style, and thus herself.  This one act opened the door to a whole new world, for when our perception of one thing changes, we start wondering what else is really true.  So, the warrior was a "spiritual" warrior, making a move that could lend the friend a boost toward a more happy spirit.  The warrior opened the door with her gift.  The friend still and always chooses what to do with the gift - whether to walk through the door and down the path, or just enjoy the view, or take a few steps and go no further.

The runes, and any form of divination, can be considered spiritual, even mystical tools.  And i'll be the first to admit a belief in beings we cannot see in our reality.  But, we are mundane creatures.  The universe works through and for us in a mundane fashion.  More lives have been changed by stalled cars, forgetting a purse, turning left instead of right, stopping to watch a bird, a simple gift... mundane, every day things used to work our will, answer our prayers, taking us down the path we desire for our greatest and highest good.

The genie grants the wish of riches through lottery winnings.  The cat rescued by adoption may not visibly wear boots, but he can still wake up his "master" before the house catches on fire.  Moldy bread in the right hands saves millions of lives.  And the gift from a friend sparks a thought that begins the change in perception of self.  Yes, says the godmother, you shall feel good enough about yourself to enjoy going to the ball.

The only really mysterious thing about the universe is why it takes us each so long to allow it to work for our happiness.

I hope you have a great day!

101113 - Algiz

Algiz in spirit:  Whatever your path, a moment of connection & belief is good today.  If you need advice, take a breath, a moment of calm, & listen for your guides/ guardians.  Arms wide open.

Lol - the two times I thought of this rune reading today were as follows:

     1) when I was listening to music (or possibly doing my DDR) a song came on titled something like "The Spirit of You".  Made me laugh.

     2) More interesting.  On my rearview mirror, I have a bracelet -- cord braided around a piece of jade.  I put it on the mirror for protection.  I also have a plastic batman ring hooked through the bracelet, to remind me that some people create their own super powers.
Driving home from somewhere, 4 ish, traffic wasn't HORRIBLE.  Chatting with passengers.  The bracelet and the ring fell off the rearview mirror.  Whoosh.
Okay.  Yes, the roads were bumpy, but I don't recall the bracelet ever falling off before in the two years it's been there.  And yes, the ring was a recent addition so it could have worked the bracelet loose.
On the other hand, maybe my guardians were paying attention and the bracelet/ ring falling was from the shockwave of harm meeting shielding and breaking into harmfree atoms.  Again, I laugh with joy, because that means my guardians ROCK!

Either way, I know my spiritual peeps were with me today, even if it was for a quick hug. 

I hope you had a great day.

Life in Runes 92513

Hagalaz.  Algiz.  LaguzR.

A little energetic transformation to shift things.  A little emotional energy to random strangers.  A little bit longer to wait before the take off.

You can send some of the extra enrgy out to others; it may help you feel like you're accomplishing something in this next "now what!" moment.

------------------------------------

Well, if you're following these posts with bated breath, waiting for the next daily adventure, you'll notice I did not comment on my life last night.  It was one of "those" days.

I'm not sure which aspect of life LaguzR was referring to, but Hagalaz sure swept through in the afternoon.  Every expectation of how the afternoon would go, went.  Right out the window.  I don't think I stopped moving.  But the hardest part was actually taking the deep breath and moving through it.  It would have been much nicer to just sit and see if it all went away.  Interestingly, the two things I had been definitely planning did happen.

And as for Algiz, well, I just sent good thoughts to every car I saw.  

So, yesterday was all right.  I hope you had a great day!
