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

Dagaz – “It could mean paradigm shift, the ideal, hope-happiness, awareness, or awakening.”
Present Influences

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 Dagaz. Dagaz in our past indicates that we have begun a journey or inspired a journey to be undertaken. Dagaz speaks about the paradoxical truth that we all seek within our lives. A daily engagement is required by our physical mind to ensure that we take the time to recognize the season that is upon us. Dagaz represents a drastic change within the mind of the individual, so our past includes the initiation of a journey to enlightenment through the conceptual realization of the incommunicable experience we have enjoyed.
Our present influence is that of Jera, which typically indicates the intake and exhale of existence, a season for everything. Jera represents those cyclic energies within our existence, whether it be the inhale and exhale of our own selves, or the changing of the seasons here on Midgard, it represents those which changes with the appropriate seasons. The thing to take away about Jera being in our present is the understanding that each experience that occurs is happening for a reason. We need to take a moment to consider what that reason is and be willing to learn.
To reveal our future influences, we have drawn Laguz, the rune of emotion. Laguz within our future is indicative of the emotion of love. A powerful energy that draws from within the spiritual mind that energy of hope. This typically brings spiritual consciousness mental processing as we connect across the spiritual realm to ancestors who will offer us wisdom and guidance along our path. Laguz speaks of these crossings into the spiritual realm may occur during the hours of sleep as we drift effortlessly across the veil between that realm and this.
To understand what influences we should retain, we have drawn the rune Ehwaz, and today it offers us cautions to carry forward with us. Ehwaz is the rune of trust, and just as importantly, trust between peoples. Our cautions today indicate that we should embrace the trust within ourselves, focus on trusting our heart to lead the way into our future. We must prevent ourselves from overthinking the movements toward the future, but instead, let our heart and feelings lead the way. Trust in yourself. You are indeed strong enough, brave enough, beautiful enough, and are worthy of the love you receive.
