Weekly Rune – Thurisaz
Thurisaz - thorn- There is an expression, “in the weeds,” in the food and beverage service industry, in which not only have you gotten overwhelmed by the tasks before you, but you’ve fallen behind. Given that Thurisaz translates to “thorn,” I find that an apt symbol for the present vibe. Worth noting, the last time Thurisaz was the weekly Rune, Mercury was retrograde. It just went direct yesterday. While that may seem, and certainly feels, dismal on the surface, keep in mind that under duress, amazing outcomes manifest. Elements conspire to form diamonds, metal is whetted into sharp blades, nectar becomes honey. In each of these,...
Read MoreWeekly Rune – Ingwaz
Ingwaz (or Inguz) - People of Ing - We’ve been in this rhythm of movement, then coasting for a while, now. So it would seem with the frequent intermittent presence of Ingwaz, suggesting that we take time to process our journey and let it root into change. We tend to look for progress as this steady jaunt to some expected outcome, marking completed items off a list along the way. Ingwaz reminds us that true progress is measured not by our ability to reach the finish line first, but to reach it in a way that supports and fosters our integrity, shares our truth, and inspires others to hold to theirs. In short, Ingwaz cautions us that plans change, and...

Ingwaz (or Inguz) - People of Ing - It’s quiet time. A lot of ground has been covered lately, and the solitude needed to process that journey and let it root into a changed course is now. In western culture, even among spiritually well-intended folk, is the drive to Go Go Go! and not allow time for what has been upturned, re-evaluated, calibrated, and set into motion to fly, be free!. Somewhat addicted to the allure of expanding consciousness, we want to sustain that esoteric high. We constantly stretch for the goal, then wonder why we burn out, or the goal shifts just left of center. I’ll tell you why: everything must root, and to properly...
Read MoreWeekly Rune – Kenaz
Kenaz – Torch – Be prepared to find something long searched for this week. More specifically, expect to manifest what has been most wanted. Kenaz speaks to the fire we can control, the torch of inspiration we both nurture and bring into being as knowledge. This esoteric moment is the lighting of the darkness. In practical terms, it’s the point of the match strike. Fire can illuminate, warm, devastate, all considerations to hold in mind before ever bringing match to striker. At such moments of divine creativity, we stand fully and knowingly connected to All Things; thus, all self-power is available. Bear in mind, manifesting what has been most wanted...
Read MoreWeekly Rune – Perthro
Perthro – chance – I say “chance,” because there’s no solid consensus on exactly what this Rune means. There are a few interpretations along the lines of ”luck,” or “karma.” For many Rune enthusiasts Perthro acts as the modern blank Rune, bringing to light the unknown, the unknowable. Given these glimpses of its qualities of risk, control, and time, it’s easy to see how Perthro eludes us still, and to understand it appears this week to bring our attention to the process. I think that Thorsson describes the mechanations of Perthro well, commenting on the role of the Norns in its interpretation. The Norns are...
