My rune for this beautiful Winter day is Uruz (Aurochs). This is the rune of strength; both psychical and emotional and often also spiritual. It is
the rune of courage, endurance and determination. This rune often comes up when you need a
reminder that you are worth fighting for and that it is time to make a stand.
So what
energy will help me to embrace the qualities of Uruz: the King of Bows - Adder from
the Wildwood tarot. Together these two are masculine energy squared. The King of Bows aka the King of Wands is the
personification of confidence, wisdom and strength. This is the third King in a
short while to make his appearance into my life. Maybe it is time sit on the
throne of my own life again.
Being in
pain and/or just discomfort for two months in a row is not so beneficial for your
mental well being. I miss doing the
things which make my heart sing. So yesterday I picked up a watercolor brush
and some paints and splashed some colors
on a page. Did it hurt? Yes, a bit. Was is beautiful? Not particularly. But oh my
god(dess) it made me so happy. I even hummed a bit. Sometimes when you are
sitting on the fence of life for a long time, it is hard to get back in the saddle again.
This process calls for the qualities of Uruz and especially the creative flexibility of
the King of Bows. It might require taking some detours to achieve what makes
me happy but I am positive I will get there.
