For the week 1 February 2015.
For the last few weeks, relationships and how we feel about specific ones has been the focus of the runes. With Algiz as the half-month rune, this week we sit camouflaged cozily in its native grasses, as Tiwaz, this week’s rune, brings a second wind.
The thing to keep in mind about Algiz is its ability to cloak us in the homefront. ‘Shapeshifter’ is the concept associated with this stave, generally speaking. The heart of it, though, is the feeling of home, what is native. Algiz will be the runic governance through mid-day, 13 February. Learn more about the half-month and its impact on our lives on Patreon.
This week, Tiwaz brings a ‘mach-2 with your hair on fire’ feel. It may not be pleasant at first, but allow the gear to shift, and it will become home. How could that frenzied drive feel like home, particularly in light of the presence of Algiz?
Algiz provides the warrior stance, and Tiwaz tells us what to do with it. Tiwaz is the rune of the fight of our life coming to the most heart-rending ends. It’s the life’s dream not becoming reality, ever. It is, however, the Plan B that makes the sun rise, and gives us the passion to care that it did, in spite of everything.
That’s what it really comes down to. Even on the darkest of days, somewhere, somehow, intellectually we know it will pass. Mustering the passion to care that it will pass, so much so that we already feel connected to the state of being beyond despair while it’s still happening… that’s Tiwaz. That’s the heart of self that we’ll find this week.

I so enjoy your rune readings. I am an Icelandic/Metis woman and unfortunately on a tight budget. I wondered if you ever offer free memberships in exchange for advertising. I have a sacred circles for women page on Facebook which presently has 2,460 women on it and a website which may not be up for long as I cannot afford to keep it. I also have a book coming out in April. The title is ‘page as bone ~ ink as blood’. If you could offer me a free membership here I will post your page on the sacred circles for women Facebook page and my personal page which has 1,269 friends each time you offer a reading. Here are the links… ~ All my Relations ~ Jonina
