Rune Reading for Monday 21 April 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.
Dagen’s Indsigt
Past Influences
Ihwaz- “It could mean protection, initiation, endurance, and movement toward enlightenment.”
Present Influences
Othala (Inverted) – “It could mean genocide, racism, xenophobia, homelessness, poverty, slavery, totalitarianism, or lack of customary order.”
Future Influences
Ansuz – “It could means open paths of communication, intellect, transformation, synthesis, word-power, or divine inspiration.”
Bedrock (things to remain)
Algiz – “It could mean protection, higher life, awakenings, or connection to the gods.”
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Each morning, I engage in prayer, or communion with my gods. Each day they offer me wisdom and knowledge, and in return I offer them myself that they may do with me that which they need to. I have felt the gods manage my engagements throughout the years, and especially lately, 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 prayers. 
 
To reveal the influences of our past, we have drawn the rune of Ihwaz. Ihwaz reminds us of the power of the Chakra system within ourselves. By channeling the universe’s energy offerings, we can thereby direct that energy to the parts within the self that needs to heal. Regardless of whether we are dealing with the heart, the mind, or the body somewhere, the energy provided to us through these Chakra can heal. It also reveals that you have initiated your journey into a greater understanding of all these energies. 
 
Our present influence is that of Othala. Today Othala issues us cautions as we move into the present. Othala reveals that our fear of those states that we don’t want are still weighing heavily on our mind and receiving far too much of our current energy stream. Let go of our fears and uncertainty of those things, consider changing our perspective to allow the visions and understanding of paradise and utiopia for our intrinsic self really means. Othala is the source of our ancestors, actively seek them and they will enlighten you further. 
 
To further reveal our future influences, we have drawn the rune of Ansuz. Ansuz represents the state of actively listening. However, Ansuz also stipulates that by being in the active state of listening, we are listening with both our ears and our heart. While the ears provide an interpreted part of the message received, by listening with the heart we are manipulating our emotional filters in such a way that the message received is closer to the reality in which it is sent. There is much that can be gained in communications when listening with both the ears, and the heart.
 
To understand what influences we should retain, we have drawn the rune Algiz. Algiz is the higher self, it represents the part of each of us that connects us with the gods. It reminds us of the clear lines of communications between the physical self, the spiritual self, and the spirits of that realm. By retaining this meaning within our hearts, we carry forward our awakening, and connection to the gods. Maintaining a priority with our communications with these spiritual entities provides returned energy that will help us grow and heal.
