Rune Reading for Wednesday – 7 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)
Isa – “It could mean the unity of being, self-control, ego-consciousness, or concentrated self.”
Future Influences (to the left)
Perthro (Inverted) – “It could mean unknowability, fantasy, delusion, loneliness, stagnation, emotional or psychological addictions, or doom.”
Bedrock (things to remain) (to the right)
Gebo – “It could mean divine vision, sacrifice, honor, magical exchange, gift, and generosity.”

This week we embrace our sisters who have been lost to this world, we will see them again on the other side. Until then, we ask the creator to bring the ones who are still upon the plane of existence home to the loved ones who remain. We ask the creator (the gods) to be with those who have lost a sister, to pass through the sunshine to add with the rain of the heart to grow in place, love.

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. Today, the runes reveal a past that has introduced much change, and chaos to an otherwise simple life. However, your brain has grasped the idea of organizing and manifesting a controlled order within this chaos. You have found a way to establish a method within the madness that you have experienced throughout your past. It would also seem that the runes are saying that you have made some changes within your life that will serve you well into the future. The past is complete, learn from it and move into your future boldly with the lessons you’ve learned. 
Our present influence is that of Isa, the rune of Ice. Isa typically reveals understandings around the self-image and identity. Isa reveals the contraction and stillness within your present psyche necessary to cleanly establish the path forward into your future. You have learned much in your past, now it is time to enact many of these lessons in our forward trajectory. The rune Isa reveals the unity of being, the joining together of the physical and spiritual selves to become whole, and complete. This is where we apply the lessons of the past to our current mindset to move forward toward growth and enlightenment.  
To further reveal our future influences, we have drawn the rune of Perthro, the rune of prophecy. Perthro typically indicates that we are looking at the magical interface of our existence, however, today Perthro is offering us a cautionary tale. Today Perthro reveals a caution about fantasy, delusion, or possible stagnation in our spiritual growth. Sometimes along the path of our existence, it is indicated that we need to take small, steady steps instead of leaps forward, for it is better to have traction, therefore control of our trajectory, than not. Be cautious, seek friendships, as they offer a way forward. 
To understand what influences we should retain, we have drawn the rune, Gebo, the rune of appreciation. Gebo reminds us, and its position as our bedrock indicates, that we should retain a gracious heart. While many wonderful things will come into our life, and maybe several things we didn’t want, we must remember that the creator offers them to assist us in our spiritual growth. We may not recognize the gifts as we may get caught up in materialistic wants, however, all things will come to us when we are ready to receive them. Be open. Be appreciative that the universe cares about each of us.

How can we use this today?
