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
Gebo- “It could mean divine vision, sacrifice, honor, magical exchange, gift, and generosity.”

Present Influences
Odinn’s Rune – Additional prayer necessary to the god Odinn. See below

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

Bedrock (things to remain)
Raidho – ““It could mean journey, ordered growth, justice, action, sound advice, or rationality.”

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

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 Gebo. Gebo reminds us today of the lessons we have absorbed throughout our past. Most importantly, Gebo speaks to us intimately about the greatest gift we can offer ourselves, and that is the gift of forgiveness. By learning to allow the past’s lessons to provide only that which is needed to maintain our path, we must disregard much of the emotional energy from the past that we may move forward without the burden of this energy. 

 

Our present influence is that of Odinn’s Rune. Odinn’s rune requires additional interaction with the god himself to ascertain what it is that he wishes to convey. After this prayer, Odinn has revealed to me that the lessons of the past need to be separated from that which we carry as emotional alterations caused by this past. Define the lessons we have learned, and cut our losses, whatever they may be. Our past journey cannot be changed, therefore by wallowing in the emotional turmoil caused by it, we need to learn and move on. While some may invoke primal reactions now, they must be learned and discarded. 

 

To further reveal our future influences, we have drawn the rune of Sowilo. Our future path lies out there, leading away from where we stand at this moment. Our future path includes coming to understand our life’s purpose. This is a major consideration as many struggle to reach this point. Using the lessons we have extracted from our past without the emotional havoc of the heart and mind; our awakening is on the horizon. Soon we shall arrive on the shores of wholeness and the seat of the soul. Our path is paved with honor to the self, and to our ancestors. 

 

To understand what influences we should retain, we have drawn the rune Raidho. In much the same way that Sowilo leads us to our life’s purpose, Raidho speaks to an ordered growth of our understandings by accepting sound advice from those whom we have placed some level of authority. It typically represents that of self-mastery, and most importantly the “from” in our intrinsic narrative. Remembering that we cannot change our past, it is time to step forward with confidence and understanding our destiny that awaits.
