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
Thurisaz (Inverted) – “It could mean strife, annoyance, explosive violence, disease, dullness, betrayal, compulsion, defenselessness, or danger.”

Present Influences
Isa – “It could mean the unity of being, self-control, ego-consciousness, or concentrated self.”

Future Influences
Othala- “It could mean productive interaction, freedom, group order, group prosperity, or home.”

Bedrock (things to remain)
Inguz – “It could mean time for oneself, expectation, internal growth, gestation, or resting.”

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 Thurisaz, and today it offers us cautions to observe. Thurisaz represents the struggles that we have had against recognizing our consciousness for what it is, and just as importantly, navigating in and out of the spiritual realm with it. It reveals to me today that we have broken down barriers in our past, but, it cautions us that we should ensure the barriers are completely removed, as they can prevent us from returning to our path, if there are portions that remain. Thurisaz cautions us about foolishly misjudging the state of our previous challenges. Ensure we have learned, then released these old memories.

 

Our present influence is that of Isa, the rune of ice. Isa speaks about our own self-image, and more importantly, our self-worth. Happiness has to begin within, as we must be willing and able to love ourselves before we emit it to the world. Although the rune of ice indicates treachery as we try to walk upon it, we must remember, if we put ice skates on our feet, how much faster we can travel across its surface. While the ice can contort our view of what lies beneath it, sometimes it can magnify it, bringing into sharper focus. Use the reflection upon its surface to reveal the reflection of the beautiful soul you’ve become. 

 

To reveal our future influences, we have drawn Othala, the rune of the ancestors. Today we have drawn the run Othala, which is the rune that typically indicates the Norse god Odinn, as Othala would be the first letter of his name. However, Othala is the rune of the ancestors, and beckons us to connect through the spiritual realm to those ancestors for guidance and wisdom. It produces the energy of paradise, that moment of total relaxation and accomplishment. Time to count our blessings. Ultimately, Othala brings us freedom. Freedom of the mind and of our thought processes. Free from the unwanted influences that attempt to sway our trajectory.

 

To understand what influences we should retain, we have drawn the rune Inguz. While not issuing any cautions, it reminds us of dedicating time for our own self-care. This is an important reminder, as too often we succumb to the perceived need to help others, we often forget that we are incapable of helping others if we are completely drained ourselves. Taking time to recharge our batteries, absorb the lessons of our past experiences, and continue our trajectory through this physical life time. Make time each day to gather your thoughts and concentrate on healing yourself that you may be less affected by the influences of the day.
