For today another
a combination of my runes and The wild Unknown Tarot. They fit so seamlessly together
as if it was meant to be. I really am enjoying working with both of them.
My rune for
today is Eihwaz.
This is the rune of death and transformation, much like the
Death card in tarot. It urges us to release what is stopping us from moving
forward and from spiritual growth. Often this
can be hard and even painful but most of the time the rewards are worth the effort
So what do
I have to let go of? The World.
Although the world it a very positive card and is
all about completion and fulfillment, it also can be a very tempting place to stick
around. We have so much energy spend to get there. Why should we leave this
wonderful feeling about ourselves and our accomplishments behind? Why should we
move away from this haven of admiration and pride? Because else we would only move in circles instead of
forward and we would probable become complacent.
So if I was to let go of The World energy what could
be out there for me? The Daughter of Wands.
She is moving like a lemniscate looking
at her blossoming wand from every angle possible. She is the free spirit who gets
excited about almost everything new. She wants to try and experience new things
or revive old projects with renewed enthusiasm.
So in short: Experiencing the energy of The World is wonderful
and we should enjoy it as long as we don’t
forget to jump of that cliff and start again with something new.
Beautiful cards and excellent combination Ellen. Humans sure have a white knuckle grip on the world sometimes. For me it is my own lack of faith in what is unseen, and knowing where my real treasure lies, in the spiritual gifts .In the end it is what truly counts, cause ya can't take it with ya, and I am more than what I do. Great post with lots of wise insight.
ReplyDeleteThanks my friend. Lack of faith and fear can be such roadblocks on our journey. I think what we do also shapes who we are and possessions can teach us a lot about our level of attachment. I think we learn a lot about ourselves through our senses.:)
DeleteGreat reading. I bet complacency killed more good ideas than anything else! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Bev. I totally agree with you on this one
Delete"Become like a little child." I love this Princess of Wands, fiery, open, ready to explore. I love, as you say, the interrelatedness between the rune and the cards. The lemniscate assures you that by letting go of what you're already achieved, you open yourself to attain new heights as the cycle continues ever onward. It's very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks Olivia. It is so wonderful to experience how well runes and tarot work together. :)
DeleteDaughter of Wands is one of my favorites from the Wild Unknown Tarot. She's beautiful as is the reading that she has appeared in. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. I particularly am fond of the blossom flowers on her wand which indicate the beginning of a new chapter:)
DeleteYes, it's easy to wish to within that beautiful circle, to feel safe in our boundaries. The Daughter of Wands shows vision and her slithering can unravel the lemniscate and become anything she wants. Lovely thoughts and insights, Ellen. I'm going to have make my own runes!
ReplyDeleteHi Margo.Yes I can relate to this temptation too.
DeleteI am sure you will enjoy making your own set and getting to know them will be wonderful adventure which will last you a lifetime
Ha ha, quite the opposite to my reading this week where I'm told to embrace the World, not chase after fiery energy. I wish you joy in your unraveling exploration of something new, Ellen :D
ReplyDeleteYes it is!:D
DeleteI think I did that today by choosing Lenormand for my daily draw instead of runes and tarot :D
:) Cool, I'll check that out now!
