Rune Reading for Friday – 2 May 2025

As we seek to understand the influences that we have experienced, as well as the experiences we’ve yet to have, we search for an answer as to what force we must keep in reserve to help us on our path toward our destiny. To visualize these influences and counter-energies, we will call upon the layout of the “four winds” that we may learn of our adversaries and allies in our mental battle for safety.

Past Influences (top center)
Hagalaz – “It could mean an inner harmony, completion, corrections, controlled crisis, changes for the long-term good, change according to ideals.”
Present Influences (lower center)
Algiz (Inverted) – “It could mean fear, loss of divine link, consumption by divine forces, or hidden dangers.”
Future Influences (to the left)
Ehwaz- “It could mean friends, loyalty, marriage, trust, teamwork, and harmony.”
Bedrock (things to remain) (to the right)
Isa – “It could mean the unity of being, self-control, ego-consciousness, or concentrated self.”

Dagen’s Indsigt
Each morning, I engage in conversation with my gods. During which they offer me wisdom and guidance, and in return I offer them myself that they may do with that which they need to. I have felt the gods manage my experiences throughout the years, and especially over the last several decades, engaging me in a multitude of ways. Today, I offer to you that which was told to me by the gods in this morning’s talks. However, as I offer you the wisdom given to me, I encourage you to seek the answers within yourself, as each of us travels a different path, therefore our perspectives are a little different. 
To reveal the influences of our past, we have drawn the rune of Hagalaz, the rune of chaos. Our past may be filled with experiences of utter chaos, or little things that have been placed out of order thereby creating the entirety of chaos within our experiences. However, the note to make is that order cannot be made from order, it must be constructed from some level of real or perceived chaos within our existence. Providing order within our own chaos offers us the opportunity to structure our order the way we desire, and to discard that which no longer serves our greater good. 
Our present influence is that of Algiz, and today Algiz also offers us cautions about moving forward. While the rune Algiz typically indicates a state of listening, particularly to the higher self or deities, but today it is issuing us warnings about our end of the communication string. We must be willing to focus our attention on listening to the divine link, that gives us vision and guidance along our path. One should always maintain a small level of fear about losing our connection to the spirits and the divine, as communications requires two parties.   
To further reveal our future influences, we have drawn the rune of Ehwaz, the rune of trust. Ehwaz within our future indicates that we must be willing to let down our guards a little to extend the bridge of trust to another life form. We must remember, that although our past may bring images of betrayal and falsehoods, this is not something that is carved in stone for our future experiences. While there may come a point where the bridge of trust can be taken down, we should listen to our heart as to when we need to do that. 
To understand what influences we should retain, we have drawn the rune, Isa, the rune of Ice. We must remember what a gift we are, do not let the energies of physical exostence erase the importance of your assembly process. You have earned your steps along this journey, sometimes on hands and knees do we move forward, but forward we continue. As we retain the image of the self, remember that there are two parts to the self, and that each must be given its time in the sun. Remember to focus on maintaining control of your thought processes and emotional states along the way.

How can we use this today?
The runes have shown us that there are plenty of unwanted energies around us that it would be easy to fall victim to, however, when we are willing to listen with our hearts to the ancestors and the deities, we may be able to extend the bridge of trust to those around us who can assist in our growth.
Be Well my friends.
