121813 JeraR

It may feel like you're not receiving the equivalent of the energy you put out, particularly in communications.  Remember, the harvest isn't all in yet.  Tomorrow is another day.

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

Communications wise, I can see how this applied to a friend, yesterday.  His perception led him to expect the conversation to go one way, when it didn't go anywhere at all.

For me personally, yesterday was much more about the physical harvest as relates to health.  It seems I put a lot of time and energy into thinking about my health and my body in general, and yet haven't received the results I expected.  Like taking medication and not having it work the way I hoped.

Was the seed not planted soon enough (ie: the meds not taken in a timely fashion)?  Have i not waited a long enough time?  Is more care required?

Well, like I said, today is another day.

I hope you're having a great one!

12913 - Kunos & WunjoR

Kunos - Choices become more specific, possibly spiritual in nature.
WunjoR - communication with clan is spotty.
Today is a good day to double check our truths and our assumptions.

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

The thing that most comes to mind about this reading and my experiences of the past day is: "the trouble with Divination."

Of course, the first down side to Divination is proving a negative.  How many accidents have we avoided, how many bitter paths have we missed, how many ill feelings have we escaped because we turned right instead of left?  Oh yeah?  Prove it.  

But the second down side is about focus:  If all you focus on is the event or situation, how can you know what else is possible?   

A member of my clan read me an astrological prediction for 2014 (obviously a general prediction, but Yay Leos!).  It was very encouraging, but now I find myself limiting the choices I'm considering so my bright and shiny future will fit into that reading.

And that's just silly.  I put a lot of work into a lot of things this year - emotional, personal, spiritual and business (al).  Any number of doors could be the way to fulfill my ultimate goal.  And the focus mentioned in the prediction can be a side benefit of many of those doors.  Why limit myself to just that narrow perception triggered by specific words?

"I see a tall dark stranger, and a tropical island."
      Immediate perception:   Ooh!  Captain Jack (a lot steadier on his feet, and wearing a tux) is going to walk into the grocery store one day and decide I need to sail away with him.
       Reality:  A brunette basketball player has to cancel her vacation because she's picked for an All Star team.  I'm idly shopping cruise sights and voila!  the tickets are available for the right time and right price and right place for me.  
       Danger:  That I pass up this opportunity because it didn't fit into the perception.   (And, let's be honest, if a stranger tried to sweep me up, I'd probably scream and beat him with my purse.  Especially if he looked like Captain Jack.  Too bad Legolas is blonde.)

The point is this.  Perception needs two eyes, one on the broad view and one on the narrow, allowing all sorts of possibilities.  The truth of today is not necessarily the truth of tomorrow because the focus changes every day.  I pick my path moment to moment; and while my past choices may limit my current choices, there's no need to narrow the future before it even happens.

I hope that made sense.

And 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!

101513 - HagalazR in water

Another calm day, especially in the emotional arena. 
More practically, it could mean the quiet stormy weather is most likely going to stay quiet.
______________________________

And it did.  There was a light snow this morning, when I did this reading.  A nice light snow, drifting poetically, the sun not really shining, just warming the background. It stayed cold, but there was never a real STORM! here.

And, yes.  No major emotional storms today either.  Really, thinking on it, nothing emotional.

There may have been one or two incidents I might usually have reacted emotionally too, but I was too busy being involved in other quandaries to even give much thought to them.  Nice!  and Yay!  A month ago, I might have been very offended by the questions which, today, I simply answered and moved on.  Let's hear it for the calming of the storms!  I can't tell you if it's a perception shift...  Well, actually I'm sure it's a perception shift, but whether my perception of myself, or my perception of others' perceptions of myself *G*, or the perception of what is needed to define boundary lines...

  ............  yeah, that was a long convoluted sentence..................

...I don't know.  Simply grateful there was a shift and I didn't need to feel enraged or offended, and cry and throw things before realizing the irrelevance of it all.

So.  No wet storms.  Physically or emotionally.  I am happy with that.  Back to work.

I hope you have a great day!
