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

Hagalaz – “It could mean an inner harmony, completion, corrections, controlled crisis, changes for the long-term good, change according to ideals.”

Present Influences
Sowilo – “It could mean faith in outcomes, life purpose, honor, goals, success, hope, guidance.”

Future Influences
Tiwaz (Inverted) – “It could mean tyranny, defeat, imbalance, injustice, over-sacrifice, over-analysis, or mental paralysis.”

Bedrock (things to remain)
Ihwaz – “It could mean protection, initiation, endurance, and movement toward enlightenment.”

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 Hagalaz, the rune of chaos. This is the ideal rune to display our past as it represents the construction of order within our lives arriving at this moment. The moment when the changes of our desires are beginning to take shape and inching us closer to inner-harmony and peace. This represents the portion of our lifetime that we have spent not understanding what it all meant. The time before our life’s purpose had been discovered. 

 

Our present influence is that of Sowilo, the rune of the soul. Our present is guided by the power of Sowilo, indicating that we are discovering our life’s purpose. We are initiating the action necessary to move us from the chaos of our past to that of order and understanding. Sowilo reveals that we are becoming whole, even if we don’t feel like it. While some of our existence may still seem to be chaotic and haphazard, the intrinsic infrastructure is being formed to move forward. 

 

To further reveal our future influences, we have drawn the rune of Tiwaz, and today the god of courage, Tyr issues us cautions moving into our future. Today the rune is cautioning us about over extending ourselves, trying to be too much to too many people at the same time. The rune represents righteousness and honor, however is in an inverted position indicating strongly that we need to focus on remaining honest with others, and with ourselves, to ensure we don’t succumb to mental-paralysis. 

 

To understand what influences we should retain, we have drawn the rune ihwaz, the divine feminine. In much the same way we maintain our physical bodies through sustenance, we must also ensure we are maintaining our emotional health as well. Ihwaz represents the Kundalini, or divine feminine, which encourages us to embrace an emotional intellect, to fulfill the intrinsic necessity of nurture, instead of nature. Educate those around us with velvet gloves instead of the iron fists.
