Rune Reading for Wednesday, 30 April 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.
Dagen’s Indsigt
Past Influences
Odinn’s Rune – Additional prayer required, see below.
Present Influences
Mannaz- “Its psychological meaning is perfected intelligence, rational mind, development of the intellect, the difference between humans and other life, and mind and memory. Its energy is the projection of self into time, and the psychic order of the gods. When it appears in divination, it means divine influence in life, social order, awareness, intelligence, sustainability, and divine structure.
Future Influences
Gebo – “The psychological aspects are appreciation, forgiveness, and gratitude. Its energy is the dissolution of barriers through gifting, sacrifice, and exchanged powers. When it appears in divination, it could mean divine vision, sacrifice, honor, magical exchange, gift, and generosity.
Bedrock (things to remain)
Jera – “If Jera appears in divination, it means timing, proper, peace, plenty, and reward for positive action. In certain readings, it may mean regression, conflict, poverty, bad timing, or repetition. The harvest during the summer is meant to be winter food, and the seeds from those crops became the next year’s summer crops. Attentiveness to the cultivation of our present life is important, but you should lay down the wisdom for the future self.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
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 Odinn’s Rune. Odinn’s rune typically indicates that the guidance from the gods did not arrive to the tile before we experienced it, so additional time with Odinn is necessary to determine the revelation. After additional prayer, the gods have informed me that we have had to make tough choices in our recent past. Choices that we didn’t want to make. An emotional firestorm was created within our heart and mind before and during the decision-making process. This has caused us substantial emotional trauma; however, we finally succumbed to a decision and now struggle to rationalize that choice. The decision was made with all the information you had available at the time, be open to the potential of change, but remember what has value for you.
Our present influence is that of Mannaz. Mannaz indicates that we are arriving at an understanding of our intellectual mind. Discovering what information, we have received, and what information we should retain as we move forward into new information. A constant state of unrest, we spend much of our time attempting to absorb new information, without fully vetting the intellect we already possess. Becoming aware of the influences and effects that the reality in which we live has on our intellect, we must embrace tightly the desire to maintain the intellect we have by connecting it to emotional experiences to evolve it into the wisdom we seek.
To further reveal our future influences, we have drawn the rune of Gebo. Gebo reveals to us the path that gratitude offers to us. Not only is it the way to show our appreciation to the spirits that assisted in the arrival of the many experiences we have had, it also allows us to soften any rough edges the heart may have from those same experiences. By accepting the divine vision, we are better prepared to understand the magical exchange from the spiritual realm into our existence, thereby recognizing the gifts we receive every day. Our future holds many opportunities for us to express our gratitude for the many things, and more importantly people, in our lives.
To understand what influences we should retain, we have drawn the rune, Jera. Jera is without a doubt my personal favorite rune, as it represents the seasons throughout our lives, of which there are many. Jera also speaks to us about a season for everything. A season to mourn. A season to celebrate. Everything will occur in our lifetimes when the universe recognizes our readiness, and our ability to absorb the energy. We must remember that when we are faced with the many challenges within our lives that the universe, which has seen untold trillions of lifeforms, has deemed that we are ready for it. That we possess the necessary energy to power through it.
