Rune of the Day: Perthro

 

The rune of Perthro represents unexpected gain, blessings of the Divine, things of a hidden nature.  This rune is often associated with gambling and games of chance.  Try focusing on the less mundane aspects of life today, be open to the unexpected; instead of stressing when things don't go according to plan, smile and go with the flow.  Perthro shows us that the unusual and the hidden is not always something to be feared, but many times something to be discovered and cherished.

Tarot Card of the Day: 6 of Pentacles

The 6 of Pentacles is a card of sharing and generosity.  Its a card that represents helping others but also being helped.  When this card appears in your spread, material goods will be plentiful, but they will come and go, though never leaving you short.   Today could be a day to look around and see what you have that you can share with others: flowers from the garden, a plate of homemade goodies, perhaps the clothes you no longer wear to a shelter-whatever it is, today is a great day to share just a little bit of what you have.  After all, it will come back to you when you least expect it.

 

 

 

The Rune of the Day: Mannaz

Mannaz is the rune of cooperation, of inter-connectivity, of humanity.  This rune really speaks to how everything, and everyone, in the universe influences everything, and everyone else. 

The smile you give someone on the street today, may be the only kind thing they've seen all day, it may be the one thing that reminds them there is still good in life. 

Today is a good day to reach out to others, with a smile, a kind word, an offer to help, or a request for help if you need a hand.  Don't forget, helping others, even in small ways, boosts our mood!


Tarot Card of the Day: 9 of Pentacles

 

The 9 of Pentacles is the card of financial or material well-being, but it also shows the money being released.  Its a card of sharing your blessings, not hoarding them.  It has always resonated with me as a card of overall well being, financial, spiritual and physical.

It also represents an appreciation of nature, taking the time to enjoy things in life-not just what we own, but also all the natural wonder around us. This is a perfect time of year for this card-sunsets, sunrises, leaves changing colors, there is so much to enjoy in nature right now, regardless of our financial status.

Today would be a great day to just take the time to enjoy your blessings, and share them with others.  Sometimes just sharing your wonder at something is enough to open up a whole new world for yourself or someone else!

 

 

Rune of the Day: Wunjo

Wunjo is the rune of happiness, joyfulness, and new energy!! With today being Monday, we can all use a little Wunjo.  This is a great day to start new project while basking in the glow of having successfully completed the old one.   Take time today to really notice and enjoy all the many blessings, both great and small, in your life!

Tarot Card of the Day:

The Star is the card of hope and inspiration.  When this card is drawn for you, it means that you have everything you need to make your (reasonable) dreams come true.  Today would be a great day to try something new, to go for your dreams, to try to touch the sky!
 

Rune of the Day: Thurisaz

Thurisaz is a rune of self-examination, of taking the time to really work on yourself.  Today would be a great day to examine what does and doesn't work in your life and find the changes you need to make within yourself to make things better for yourself!


Tarot Card of the Day: Ace of Cups

 

The Ace of Cups signals a new start in a relationship.  This opens so many possibilities-a new romantic relationship, a new friendship, or a new beginning to an old relationship: romantic, friendly, or even family!  I remember this was my card of the day when my sister and I got back in touch after being out contact for several years!  (Totally my fault we were out of touch btw).

Just be open to what comes your way today, you may be pleasantly surprised! 

 

 

Friday's Rune for the Day: Sigel

Sigel is the rune of success, enlightenment, and good fortune.  Basically, when sigel appears, things are really coming up roses for you!!  A harbinger of a very good day!

My apologies for this post being late, apparently I don't understand the schedule mechanism as well as I thought I did!! LOL  I'm learning, I'm learning, I promise!


Friday's Tarot Card for the Day: 

 

The Three of Cups is a very nice complement to the rune of Sigel!  This card represents a solution to a problem, an acceptable compromise, fulfillment.  Its the card of finding a way to get enough of what you want to be happy.  

 

Rune of the Day: Eihwaz

Eihwaz is a rune of protection, though that protection frequently comes in forms we may not like.  Often, it represents release from a situation, or the end of a relationship.  These are often painful events: evictions, divorces, losing one's job, but they happen for a reason-to protect us from something worse.  

It is very important when unpleasant things happen to do what is right in the situation, not necessarily what would make us happy in that moment.  Know that better things are coming, and that though change is frequently painful, it does open the door to great improvement!


Tarot Card of the Day: 10 of Cups-Reversed

  

The 10 of Cups (Reversed) represents disagreements in relationships, things not going well.  It also represents putting on a show, pretending everything is better than okay, when in reality it is kind of falling down around you.  

Know that all relationships have their rocky times, nothing is always happy or perfect.  Its staying and working things out in the bad times that builds strong relationships that last a long time.  

 

October 2nd-Random Thoughts on the Shutdown

Rune of the Day: 

Dagaz is a rune of success and transformation.  Today is a day to look at things from a new perspective and be open to changing them based on what you see.  You might be surprised how much you really have when you look at it from someone else's point of view!

Just because its my blog and I get to vent on it!

Really, what is our Congress thinking-Oh wait! They're politicians, they don't think; apparently,  they just have temper tantrums. 

The current shutdown of the government so reminds me of 5-year olds at play.  If you don't put down that toy, and play with what I want, I'm going to break ALL your toys.  Same principle, just on a larger scale.  

As a side note to the Republicans, who obviously don't think the health of the citizens of this country is worth concerning themselves with.  Does the fact that the exchanges that opened on October 1st were overwhelmed with demand from people seeking affordable insurance mean anything to you?  Probably not, if what the people wanted mattered, the government wouldn't be shut down in the first place. 

I really have to wonder who didn't think ahead on this: the last time they delayed raising the debt ceiling, the credit rating of our country went down just because the people that decide those things worried about the lack of cooperation in our government.  I can't wait to see what this partial shutdown, and the inevitable refusal to raise the debt ceiling on October 17th  will do to that credit rating.  It may soon end up worse than mine!

Tarot Card of the Day:

 The 8 of Pentacles is a card of hard work and personal effort.  Try to learn something new today, even if its just a new word!  Or, combine this with Dagaz, the rune of the day, and try to learn something new about yourself today: maybe a dream you've always been afraid to dream, or a fear you've never put into words.
