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

Ansuz – “Psychologically is represents listening, inspiration, communion, and mental stability. Its energy is answers, order, exploration, communication, breath, animating spirit, and sovereign ancestral god. When Ansuz appears in divination, it means open paths of communication, intellect, transformation, synthesis, word-power, or divine inspiration.

Present Influences
Inguz- “Its psychological meaning is wholeness, inner-child, power of suggestion, personal development, and internal growth. Its energy is planned bursts, subtlety, male mysteries, gestation process, stored energy, and earth-god. When it appears in divination, it means time for oneself, expectation, internal growth, gestation, or resting.

Future Influences
Nauthiz – “Its psychological meaning is effort, need, and resistance. Its energy is urgency, coming forth into being, and necessity. If this rune appears in divination, it could mean achievement through effort, personal development and life lessons, need-fire or self-reliance, innovation, recognition of your ultimate truth, or resistance.

Bedrock (things to remain)
Dagaz – “Its psychological meaning is satori, enlightenment, conceptual realization, incommunicable experience, and paradoxical truth. Its energy is transmutation, synthesis, unity, non-dual reality, and dawn polarity. Dagaz works as the opposite of Jera. They both deal with time. Jera is an annual cycle, whereas Dagaz is a daily cycle. They both represent change. Jera is gentle, but Dagaz is a bold change, like a moment of realization. When it appears in divination, it means paradigm shift, the ideal, hope-happiness, awareness, or awakening.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

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 Ansuz. Ansuz reminds us today of the times throughout our past where it was important to listen. Listening not only with the ears, but with the heart as well. Communications between beings regardless of their physical form is a two-way street. The design of the human form to include two ears and only one mouth would indicate that we are to perform twice as much listening as we do speaking.  Stability within the mind can occur when we process what is being said instead of formulating a retaliatory statement. 

 

Our present influence is that of Inguz. Inguz being revealed in our present indicates that we are seeking wholeness and beginning to recognize that we have been here all along, only the filters and masks placed on that by others have prevented us from seeing it. Using the skills of the past to listen to our ancestors can we truly hope this wholeness we seek. Using time in intrinsic reflection (meditation) we can sort through the white noise of modern society to discover the truth that comes from our spiritual ancestors. 

 

To further reveal our future influences, we have drawn the rune of Nauthiz. Our future path lies out there, leading away from where we stand at this moment. To accomplish this future path, we must be willing and able to put one foot in front of the other as we actively seek to move in the direction of our destiny. Our future includes many manual steps that we need to actively engage in which to reach them. Nauthiz reveals the action steps and mindset necessary to continue our trajectory forward toward our destiny.

 

To understand what influences we should retain, we have drawn the rune Dagaz. Our future contains one of constant enlightenment as we move toward our destiny of understanding. To ensure we arrive there we must be willing to make bold changes within our lives, and our current understanding. Be willing and able to learn as we travel, we can expect that our spiritual growth will directly equate to our physical travel. The awakening needed is occurring , we must continue its growth by actively moving in that direction while retaining the willingness to listen with our hearts to the ancestors, as they will illuminate the way.
