Rune of the Day: Perthro (Reversed)

Perthro is the rune of unexpected gain, of being pleasantly surprised, of enjoying the mysteries of life.  Perhaps its not so surprising that this rune appears again this month, as we get closer and closer to Samhain, or Halloween. 

Although today, as earlier this month, Perthro is reversed, that is no reason not to enjoy the mysteries that surround us each day: the changing colors of the leaves, the cold snap in the air, the possibility of frost, or even snow! on the ground.

With Perthro reversed today, gambling and games of chance are probably not the best ideas, but looking for the unexpected in the everyday, now that could lead to some true revelations today.   Look for the hidden, for the beauty in the things you usually don't notice, that may just be the message Perthro wants you to have for today.


Tarot Card of the Day: 7 of Cups

The 7 of Cups represents fantasy and daydreams, and wishful thinking.  All of these can be great things, they signify hope and imagination; but unfortunately, not reality.

When the 7 of Cups appears many times it is telling us that we are hoping for the impossible, tilting at windmills so to speak.  There is nothing wrong with hoping, or dreaming, just be careful not to confuse these with reality.

Today's message though, I really feel is to go ahead and engage your imagination and creativity: write a story-or just tell one, paint a picture, make something crafty whatever your particular means of expression is practice it today.  Try that project that just seemed too hard, or tell the tale that is too outlandish, enjoy your dreams and fantasies today!  After all, reality is always there waiting for us.
