Romancing the Runes

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...

Today I went to put back the runes out of the box I was using to separate the ones I was reading from the ones I still had to draw. Two stones fell onto the table. Tiwaz and Uruz.  I see this as good health, strength combined with victory and right order.  I need to keep up with my Tae Kwon Do and make sure to drill myself a few times a week when not in class to keep up fitness levels and skill levels.  I had a special class with the Black Belt Club on Saturdays.  Tons of kicking and sliding kicking drills. My hips are so sore. I think my pattern is getting better.  Definitely need to keep it up.
