Today’s rune
is Thurisaz (thorn, gate, giant). For today I wanted to highlight the meaning
of Gateway. Often a gateway holds the promise
of something new. This could be a.o: a new opportunity, a challenge or perhaps a
new insight. In my case it is often fear which prevents me from walking through
this kind of gates. I also realize that
this fear prevents me from having new experiences, meeting new people and broadening
my spiritual beliefs. So for today I asked my cards what might be a beneficial
way for me to approach such a gate.
And I got the
Two of Wands from The Wild Unknown Tarot . In this depiction we see the moment just
before the two wands touch each other and call for action. Notice how they almost
form a gate themselves. When we dare to go through this gate it might open up
so many colorful opportunities for us. This is the moment to focus, to consider, and
weigh our options carefully. What will be the reward of going through the gate?
What could be the worst thing that could happen? Where does my fear come from ?
More than often we learn that our fear to go through the gate has nothing to do
with this particularly situation. Most of our fears originate from very long ago. But since each gate holds a promise and a
risk, it is up to use to find out if the promise is worth taking the risk.
So it is advisable
to take a moment and really assess the situation and then our wands can come together
and give direction and focus to our journey and we will continue to walk out
path and whether we got through the gate or not it is still our path.
“Still
round the corner there may wait, A new road or a secret gate.” J. R. R. Tolkien
