Life in Runes - February
Believe it, gentle beings; the rune for February is Sowelo - Success. While this Success is watery with tears (frustration, endurance, relief, gratitude), Sowelo is really about the fire. The Fire of belief. The Fire of determination. The Fire of sheer will-power. And then, the combustive Fire of change, as 1 small success starts the Success-ive chain. A Success-ion of Successes.
Welcome to the Success-ation.

I Can Rune your Life - November
The rune for November is Ehwaz.
This month, Ehwaz stands for blind faith.
In general, Ehwaz is a partnership, a symbiotic relationship, like that between horse and rider. For November, we are the rider. It’s blowing rain and it’s pitch dark. The air is so cold. We’re huddled into our extremely warm cloak, with the hood pulled well over our eyes, and our hands tucked into warm mittens.
For November, the universe is the horse, one of those big fuzzy clydesdales with huge hoofs and lots of fur. It’s prancing merrily forward, quite comfortable in the weather, quite sure of the way.
We can’t see a thing. We can’t feel our hands upon the reigns. And sometimes it feels the horse’s back is so broad, and we’ve been astride so long, that our behind has become numb and we’re sure to fall off any moment.
But we won’t. We can’t fall off the horse. We can jump, but we cannot fall. And even though we can’t guide the horse, we are heading forward, where we need to go. We just have to stay on. We need the horse. But the horse needs us too. That’s what symbiotic means.
Believe in the universe. And hold on. We’re almost there.

I can Rune your Life - September
The rune chosen for September is Hagalaz. Hailstorm. The rune of change and transformation.
Big surprise. We’ve been living with storms of transition for over a year now. What can Hagalaz tell us that we don’t already know, often to our sorrow? The runes that clarify are Jera, the harvest, and Teiwaz, expediency.
When the Universe taketh away, the Universe giveth. So you’d better decide what you want right now.
September is the time of harvest and the results of our labor are coming home. But make no mistake, a shower of gold can be just as, um, exciting, as one of ice. Rapid changes in fortune, situation, feelings, choices – these can be as terrifying in their overabundance as they were in their absence. There will still be difficult decisions. So take time now, while you have it, to prepare.
What do you want to be holding onto when the storms of change finally pass away? What do YOU need? What do you wish to protect? And what are you willing to stand up for? Now is the time to demand, to visualize, to expect, to believe.
Hagalaz - the Spirit of Fire - changes everything it touches. Vacancies don’t last for long. Prepare for your harvest. Cuz it’s gonna be a doozie.

I Can Rune Your Life - August
the rune for August is Isa.
Isa is the rune of isolation, hibernation, healing through sleep and contemplation. Isa is the protective shield we put around ourselves to keep away the outside influences. With Isa we let the world pass by, in it’s natural cycle, while we rest and relax and live off of the past – which could be monetary or physical. Rather like resting on our laurels.
Isa is the Water of Earth. Endurance and patience, held and comforted within our home nest. Or cave. Let the slings and arrows of frantic change whistle harmlessly past us. No need to do new and exciting things, no need to strive or break new ground. Through this time of contemplation and observation, we will strengthen and refresh.
Isa - May the healing protection of isolation serve you and strengthen you, that you may better serve and strengthen yourself and those you love.

Rune Your Life - July 8th
Today’s runes are Eihwaz R, and the blank rune. A very long and twisty blank rune.
It’s obvious we don’t always know what’s coming up, what’s happening, what will affect us and what won’t. With the chaos of the world, with everything changing with every breath, even predicting our own reactions is a difficult thing.
So let us take some time here to focus on the now. To focus on ourselves. To simply deal with this moment and this place and this time. Even the next breath is unimportant until it is breathed. If we want a better now in the future, it must be built on an excellent now of the present. So let us focus on the purity, strength and excellence of the blocks we’re creating now, and not necessarily on the shape of what we’re building.
Eihwaz R and the Unknowable. Focus on now and let the future take care of itself.
