LIR SW June 2015 (for the Spirit Wise Newsletter)

NaihwazR & EihwazR

Things are changing fast. It seems we make a decision and then a whole new set of possibilities opens up.  Whether it's technology or food or fashion (or gas prices), there are no ceilings.

So perhaps, say NaihwazR & EihwazR, it's a good month to practice adaptability, flexibiity. Playability?

NaihwazR says we don't need to stick with just what we have - we can explore a little, splurge a little, try a little, play a little.  EihwazR says we don't have to do things strictly for the long term, or even to expand our dreams. We don't have to balance practical and desirable. We can play a little.

Between them, we get a picture of taking each day as it comes. Trying new things. Doing something that brings happiness in the moment irrelevant to long term goals.  Letting the feelings of the day, the weather, the schedule, the truths, and the curiosities choose how you will practice, how you will grow your dreams. Loosen the reigns, relax the plans, and explore. Play.

Naturally, you want to follow your truth of the moment. The runes aren't advising us to throw our dreams out the window and run amuck. No. But in June, even the flow of society changes because of vacations & reruns & closed schools. Staying indoors, staying "on task" might be difficult. And it is entirely possible that allowing the play, the flexibility, the possibilities into our work will spark new ideas for growth, for dreams. Because, if you're like me, you're always working on your dream, connecting with your goal, even when you relax or look away.

So let's not be stodgy and tied down by the "needful" and the careful balancing of worlds. Let's be nice to ourselves. Let the sunshine in. Use a purple crayon. Do a little dance. Release the kraken! Throw off the shackles & run naked…

Ahem. I mean, Let's Play!

I hope you have a great (and responsibly playful) month.

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!
