The (un)Weekly Rune – Hagalaz
Hagalaz is the half-month rune through 13 November. The spirits of place anchoring the runes this week are Death (plastic skull), whispers of the Hunt (stag button), dead things (paper wasp nest, potter wasp nest, mink skull), and World Ancestors (wee wooden spoon) in the direction of Beyond (Earth orbit marble), with element Acid (lemon zest), in the season of Autumn (tree button).
Hagalaz is the rune of things not going the way we planned and having to keep on keeping on. And one way or another that leaves mark. And the sun still rises.
From Elder to Ancestor
Even though I had a wonderful elder who taught me that everything was alive, I was unable to assimilate that awareness and my experience of souls into the demands of everyday life. This is the book I wish I’d had.
The Weekly Rune – Kenaz
We’re not taught flexibility of choice with spiritual matters, but Kenaz says otherwise. We are the fire, we are the fuel that it consumes, and we are the forged thing that takes life from it.
The Weekly Rune – Kenaz
Kenaz is the half-month rune through 28 September. The spirits of place anchoring the runes this week are Death and Pine Cone in the direction of Back, with element Stone, in the season of Autumn.

Runes of the Age of Aquarius
When I was able to produce Birth Rune Snapshots, I included a bit of research into what the runes of the Age of Aquarius would be. It’s not specific to one rune, as Aquarius comprises two in Pennick’s runic calendar. Both are very on pointe for the transition of the world stage right now. What do you think?
The same way that we can track personal birth runes, we can also examine those of Ages. As this span moves more slowly, these runes have less of an impact on our day-to-day, and comment more on the overall tones, attitudes, and concerns of our time.

Speaking the Initiatory Wound
The first time I tried to write what would be Gift of the Dreamtime, I was seven years old. I called it “The Incontrovertible Truth.” I don’t even know where I learned that word. My story was hand-written on wide-ruled notebook paper in a powder blue paper binder. That conviction and drive to put it all into words persisted into its final publication nineteen years ago, 1 September 2004 by Spilled Candy Books.
That revelation sat hard a few weeks ago, and it left me exploring who I was when I wrote it and what has changed for me now. By the time Gift of the Dreamtime was fully conceived, I recognized its context as my initiatory wound where soul tending is concerned. The whole time through its writing I questioned whether I should be writing it to share. Was it enough to just put it into words for myself? Every time I heard, “No.”
