Rune Reading for Thursday – 1 May 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.
 |
Past Influences (top center)
Laguz (Inverted) – “It could mean toxicity, poison, fantasy, lack of moral fiber, emotional blackmail, manipulations, depression, withering, avoidance, circular motion, or fear.” Present Influences (lower center)
Berkano (Inverted) – “It could mean insecurity, conspiracy, stagnation, sterility, deceit, and the blurring of consciousness.” Future Influences (to the left)
Sowilo – “It could mean faith in outcomes, life purpose, honor, goals, success, hope, guidance.” Bedrock (things to remain) (to the right)
Tiwaz (Inverted) – “It could mean tyranny, defeat, imbalance, injustice, over-sacrifice, over-analysis, or mental paralysis.” |

Dagen’s Indsigt
Each morning, I engage in conversation with my gods. During which they offer me wisdom and guidance, and in return I offer them myself that they may do with that which they need to. I have felt the gods manage my experiences throughout the years, and especially over the last several decades, 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 talks. However, as I offer you the wisdom given to me, I encourage you to seek the answers within yourself, as each of us travels a different path, therefore our perspectives are a little different.
To reveal the influences of our past, we have drawn the rune of Laguz, and today it issues us cautions as we move forward in our lives. Laguz warns us today of an existence in overcoming negativity and toxicity within our lives to accomplish our new space filled with hope and joy. It reminds us that it is a slippery slope between where we are and the place where the poisonous energies of our past may resurface in our existence. If, for some reason, we may find ourselves back in this place, we are reminded that we were able to break free before, we can accomplish it again. Focus on not getting associated with that energy, or letting it influence your current mindset.
Our present influence is that of Berkano, and today Berkano also offers us cautions about moving forward. Berkano is the rune of mature wisdom, so the knowledge has combined with the experiences of life, to provide a layer of wisdom within our mind. Today Berkano offers a warning as to subscribing to the unwanted energies swirling around us in this reality. These energies like those of insecurity, stagnation, and deceit, will attempt to alter our trajectory, many times in subtle ways. Be cognizant of what is altering our thought process, and especially our emotional state today, as there are enemies of peace lurking in our lives.
To further reveal our future influences, we have drawn the rune of Sowilo, the rune of wholeness. With its position planted solidly in our future, this indicates that we are on the path to wholeness, and the seat of the soul. It is an “ing” rune, meaning that there is a conscious effort to seek, or “seek”+”ing”. A powerful rune that reveals our faith in the outcome, and the obtainment of our life’s purpose. While some paths may not include the glory obtained by others, there is honor in every life’s journey. Instead of seeking to measure our self by another’s measuring stick, let us make our own that specifically measures our accomplishments on our terms.
To understand what influences we should retain, we have drawn the rune, Tiwaz. Tiwaz offers us cautions as well, however this time we are reminded where we should not allow our minds to lead our heart to. While the rune typically indicates a warning of defeat, imbalance, and injustice, it is pointing out today that we should not allow these energies to plant seeds within our mind. To cast out those thoughts that would lead us to these places within our mind that is not constructive in our establishment of peace and joy. As mentioned in our past, it can be a slippery slope that could transport us between the state we want to be in, and the one we don’t. Be strong in your belief in yourself and the universe will send the appropriate energies to help you evolve.

How can we use this today?
The runes have shown us that there are plenty of unwanted energies around us that it would be easy to fall victim to, thereby allowing ourselves to fall back to those old unwanted beliefs and understandings. However the runes have also said that the future is bright and that happiness lies in our future, we must simply have discipline within the mind to ensure that these unwanted energies don’t take us back to those old places.
Be Well my friends.
