Weekly Rune – Uruz
Uruz - Auroch - I always pay close attention when Uruz turns up in a cast, as something wild is about to happen. Through the Rune story of the last few weeks, we’ve been on this course of taking things deeper, a quiet time of culling resources to support the true self, and learning more about who that is. With the advent of Uruz, we’re standing right at the threshold of impeccably knowing hidden truth. Ordinarily when Uruz visits, I’d say we’re about to greet deep personal insight evidencing who we are and what we’re doing in our lives. Emerging from the pattern we’ve seen over the last month or so, the Runes have been telling us...
Read MoreWeekly Rune – Othala
Othala - property - Remember that journey we took with Raidho last week? Well, we did it right! Over the last few weeks the story of the Runes has been interesting. Three weeks ago we had Dagaz, second to the last Rune – complete connection. Following it was Othala, the “last” Rune, bringing the inspiration to share within that connection. Raidho came along, a celebration of wild cowboy skills in how we move forward, not just to share the connection, but devise how we can take it deeper. So here we are, right back at that very opportunity! This is why I love the Runes. Such a clear oracle: the story they tell is our own. This week’s Destination...
Read MoreCelebrate the Small Things – Gratitude
My weekly gratitude post, in the Celebrate the Small Things [ongoing] Blog Hop. Had a great family getaway, complete with alligators, sand, revolving sushi, and a distinct absence of sandals and sleep. Very grateful for time away with my loved ones and safe adventuring. Finished the first part of a series of day job projects with a looming deadline. Completed a short story, which I’m now stalking before I hand it off to the editor for revisions. Succeeded at making a Portuguese brown rice, new potatoes and parsley, sauteed tilapia, and tortilla chicken tenders. Happily gathered the first [tiny] tomato of the season, while enjoying our beautiful yard and garden...
Read MoreWeekly Rune – Raidho
Raidho - travel - In the almost-year that I’ve written the Weekly Runes column, this is the first time we’ve cast Raidho. This Rune has always been special to me as a writer, because it directly addresses how we tell our story. Many people read Raidho in a very literal context, meaning, a journey between two points, emphasizing the mode of transportation involved, movement across space and time, and everything that occurs between origin and destination. Indeed, the stuff of our most compelling stories. What is important to understand about Raidho is that it’s about holding a focus over duration, associating a starting point and result with every...
Read MoreWeekly Rune – Othala
Othala – property - How telling that last week Dagaz appeared, the second to last Rune, and this week we greet Othala, the final Rune in the Futhark. Dagaz encouraged us to enjoy the fruit of our work, and now Othala instructs us to take that bliss to heart. Often concerned with what we own, inherit, then pass on to others, Othala is about our center. What sustains us, what grounds us into Nature and All Things, what carries us when all else crumbles. It’s hard to think in these terms when life is going well. Yet how we develop our awareness in the good times is what allows us to make it through the hard times. Holding to discipline amidst bliss can be as...
