For the week of 7 June 2015
We’ve had a fairly long haul with the ancestral influence of Othala–almost the last month.
This week its attributes are enhanced by a pensive Algiz reversed, cautioning us to work out any remaining bugs on the homefront.
Read right to left is Othala, then Algiz reversed. Othala remains the half-month rune through 14 June.
Following is a summary of The Weekly Rune. Read the full cast to learn more about the half-month rune’s influence, and how to receive it before everyone else. Find my runic artwork on Etsy.
Algiz reversed is about caution. When its brightstave, it’s about defense, which can seem somewhat like the same thing. The difference is, defense indicates an active stance that we can take, because we can, because we are capable of doing so, because it’s well-rounded wisdom to have. Caution indicates a need to take care, because something is going on that we need to employ defense to thwart.
Big difference.
Othala factors into this because the thing we have at our backs is our clan. We’ve needed a sense of how all things literal and figurative about the homefront are allies, strengths, defense.
If you cast runes for yourself, continue this reading by drawing another stave, with the intention to learn the area in which caution is needed. Maybe the open-endedness of this combination isn’t about knowing in what area you need to watch your back.
Maybe just realizing you’re part of the clan is enough.
Maybe it’s everything.

To celebrate their book birthdays, for the month of June, the Teen Spirit Guide to Modern Shamanism ebook and its sibling in the Teen Spirit series (which was released the same day), Teen Spirit Wicca by David Salisbury, will both be available for $0.99. Yay!
Kellie,
Such a pleasure to ‘meet’ you. Have been receiving your emails for some time but only now am exploring and thirsting for the connection and content that you teach.
As a mother of a highly intuitive tribe of young people, I am guided, and find it my duty, to deepen my understanding of what it means to walk between worlds and how to cultivate a rich understanding of connection to self, spirit, and all of creation As a foundation for living a life of integrity and meaning.
Nature and art ( and most especially writin) are my umbilical chords to my truth, my Light, my connection, and my purpose.
I have discovered that Shamanism and paganism offer roots to a deeper foundation in sacredness, virtue, and interrelation. I am new to these paths, though they run deep in me. And now I run open arms to their teachings.
Very interested in your offerings of guidance to teens. Would like to know whem they will be on sale at Amazon. Also, would be interested in any other courses you may be offering not listed here.
Thank you for your inspiration and your teachings.
To someday meet…
~Rho
Hi Rhonda! Thanks for commenting.
The “Teen Shamanism” ebook is on sale for 99 cents through the end of the month on Amazon and other online stores.
I will be adding the Intro to Modern Shamanism as a self-paced course within the next week. That, Ritual & Ceremony, Totemism, and Intro to Middle World Journeying are the self-paced studies, thus far. I teach the range of classes that I offer as live online courses, and in-person, as well. If I can answer other questions, I’m happy to–kelley at soulintentarts dot com.
It’s funny that you comment now, as the other day i was brewing an outline for a book on animistic parenting. It’s a fun and challenging thing, to actively know you are shaping consciousness forever.
Best to you, Rhonda!
