Kenaz -Part 1

I pulled this rune while suffering a really bad cold.  I thought that was poetic.  One of its meanings is healing and regeneration.

Not to get too deeply into the rune meanings, I have been going through a bit of a spiritual wall lately.
I spent a lot of time meditating and working with trying to connect to ancestors.  It's been something that has been bugging me a lot lately that I have no records of my blood ancestors.  I came from an adopted family through a closed adoption.  No records, ever.

My mother hinted she had known at one time the identity of my bio mother.  She claimed she had been one of her students.  I don't know if she was lying or just kept it a secret when she slipped up that one time. I never really came out and asked her straight for the information.

Through meditations I have met a couple of spirits who identified as blood ancestors.  One really strong one in particular.  I had a very good conversation with her about the women of my bloodline, trying to find information regarding inherited trauma or ancestral karma.  The story or information I was given helped make sense of some of the things I have been carrying and not knowing where they came from.

One of the meanings of this rune can also be the force that connects the dead and the living within a clan.  A rune of Kinship.  It kinda makes sense since Torches light the hall of Fellowship.  And that's kinda what I have been trying to do; shed some light on where my ancestors came from and what has been handed down to me.

I have been strictly told not to throw out what I inherited from my adopted family, as hard to resist as that is.  It was not a healthy household and I did take with me much trauma from it.  But apparently my ancestor's portion was such that it led to strength and not destruction the way it did with my adopted brother.

I do have a lot to be thankful for, even as I tend to stress out over everything.  That's my anxiety, constantly worrying about money.  Still channeling the poverty of my ancestors from the Great Depression probably.

This sickness forced me to slow down for a change, stop my manic spinning and To Do lists.  Let myself really rest for a change.  It is actually a struggle for me to do nothing. I can't stand being idle.  My husband laughs.  He finds it really hard to understand.  I'm always juggling three tasks or more at once.  Having nothing to do but rest and get better has both been a nice change and a real nail-biter.  I'm ready to spring into action once I feel stronger. I've already got appointments lined up for next week.
