Wunjo -Part 1

I will have to meditate on this one. I know I mentioned it earlier when discussing Hagalaz and the orientation of Kenaz to Isa.  From memory this rune means joy, and it is an earthly joy.  A job well done, fellowship. 

It has come up in readings repeatedly when I have been grappling with doubt.  There are times when I think what I might be receiving in visions could actually be my own inner voices and I enter a dark period emotionally.  Trying to figure out if I'm nuts, delusional, or actually getting what I am getting. 

There are runes that I pull that reassure me the messages in meditations are real.  This rune has been a comfort rune for me.  I feel personally that it is a reassurance that if I do what I'm supposed to do, act rightly, then joy can come from walking the path even if the path includes setbacks or slow periods.

But that's how the rune has appeared to me a few times in my personal experience.

Laguz -Water Element

Water has been popping up repeatedly and I just finally noticed it. I have been working with Freya and ancestry work.  It is slow going. Much of that has to do with my closed adoption. I have no information about my biological family and my adopted family was negligent or abusive. Lots of baggage there. I'm not really comfortable working with them. Maybe my grandmother would be open, but not real steady about the rest. I re-read my devotional poem for Freya and noticed the association with water for her. I guess in my mind I made that connection. Not quite sure why personally. Lady with the Cup is one explanation. Connecting her to wyrd, The Norns, and the well of wyrd may be another.  But in my most recent meditation she took me to a sea shore and told me I would be coming back again a few times. I think I need to process something and it might be connected to my ancestor work. Then there was the lucid dreaming I had a few nights ago. Last night my dreams were vivid too, tho

Iwaz/Eihwaz- Part 1

So I drew this rune a week ago.  I've been sitting on it partly because things got really busy between my businesses, daughter's first day of school, and Kindred Game Night which necessitated a full house cleaning. But I was also drawing an inspirational blank. The only thing that occurred to me was two Laguz runes revolving around each other.  But I don't have any revelations about what that could mean. So this morning while working on my glass art I felt lightheaded and like a finger was pushing into my head right behind my eye.  So I cut my work an hour early, showered, ate a lunch in case it was low blood sugar, and took some migraine meds. I still pulled out my cauldron and candle for offerings, lit the blue candle for Odin and went into meditation using my metronome.  I had a brief and personal conversation that I'm keeping the details of to myself.  And then made a blood offering using the diabetic supplies I keep on hand for such purpose. After reading a
