To reveal the influences of our past, we have drawn the rune of Ehwaz. As Ehwaz reveals itself in understanding the effect that our past has on our current situation and thought process, we quickly realize that its in an upright position indicating that it is identifying the needed qualities of life. Primarily it tells of the necessity of trust. Trust, not only between two people such as friends, life partner, and teamwork, but trust of the self to establish the harmony within oneself. Our present influence is that of Isa, the rune of Ice. Although the rune of ice would indicate a stagnation or temporary paralyzation, it also means that of self-image, for it is easy to see our reflection in ice. This reflection affords us the opportunity to bring the two sides of the self together in a necessary way to obtain a better mental health. Bringing our two parts together in cooperation affords us to move forward, and think in a more perfected balance between the heart and mind. To further reveal our future influences, we have drawn the rune of Hagalaz. With Hagalaz in our future position, this would indicate that the chaos of life will continue well into our future and we must be able and willing to control our response to these events. Hagalaz speaks to the identification of those inner traits that can maintain our mental space through. Traits like the inner harmony, controlling the crisis, changes for the long-term good. While it may signify chaos, our response to this chaos is what will make us stronger. To understand what influences we should retain, we have drawn the rune Wunjo. In today’s understanding we find the drawing of Wunjo in an upright position would indicate our ability to dream the big dreams necessary to foster our forward trajectory. This rune reminds us that we are well on our way to the success that we truly want, while reminding us that we need to keep our dreams out in front bringing our reality along behind them. Do not fear the big dreams, for they provide the focus to generate the energy stream of hope.

To reveal the influences of our past, we have drawn the rune of Dagaz, the rune of enlightenment. As is revealed by Dagaz being in our past, our enlightenment is at hand. We have begun the journey toward our realization of our paradigm shift. Remembering that enlightenment is a journey and not a destination, we have made the shift within our mind to focus on embracing that which brings us joy, harmony, and peace. We have made the mental shift to achieving a higher form of our selves. Our present influence is that of Kenaz, and because Kenaz has been revealed in our present, this indicates that we have initiated our cognitive ability to achieve a clarity of thought. By arranging our thoughts in an organized fashion, we are now opening ourselves to new information, new perspectives of old information, as well as opening our minds to the possibilities of what’s is out there in the spiritual path. This is a great rune to have in our present space. To further reveal our future influences, we have drawn the rune of Laguz. The rune Laguz in our future reveals the reality of maintaining our dreams and goals, for we know that without the active seeking of growth and understanding, there will be none. Laguz reminds us that we must be willing to employ the energy of hope within our everyday lives that this energy is combined with a certain level of trust to establish the love we have for ourselves and others. To understand what influences we should retain, we have drawn the rune Mannaz. In today’s understanding, Mannaz is revealed to us in an upside-down position indicating that it offers us a warning as to controlling our intellectual acquisition. By ensuring that we remember that there are as many understandings of our paths as there are people to travel those paths, we come to an understanding that each belief offers us a small vision into the soul of the individual. We too must remove our critical eyes to another’s path.

To reveal the influences of our past, we have drawn the rune of Perthro, and today Perthro offers us cautions that we should consider. Typically, in an inverted state, Perthro speaks to delusions, fantasy, stagnation, and psychological addiction, however, today Perthro, being in our past says that we have conquered those thoughts and desires, beaten back those influential energies. We would do well to remember these lessons and retain them for the path ahead. Our present influence is that of Hagalaz, the rune of chaos. Because Hagalaz has been revealed in our present, this indicates that we have initiated a change in our mindset, our way of being. Hagalaz indicates the changes are for the long-term good, so the path that we have chosen in our lives will serve us well to reach the next stage in our lifetimes. Hagalaz reminds us of our inner harmony, and living according to our values. This will serve us well moving into our future. To further reveal our future influences, we have drawn the rune of Ehwaz, the rune of trust. As always, our future relies on the choices that we initiate today, therefore we must trust in ourselves to make the right choice of our path forward. Ehwaz also reminds us that we are never alone in our journey, for we have friends among the physical plane that we may not have discovered yet. Our ancestors stand ready to assist us in every step we take. The universe is filled with those to support us. To understand what influences we should retain, we have drawn the rune Laguz. Laguz reminds us of having the ability and willingness to invoke the powerful energy of hope. Dreams, and the astral plane are powered and supported by the eternal energy of hope. We must kindle and continue to stoke the furnace of hope within our existence. Even when our circumstance seems to be at its worst, hope is the energy that can change our reality. Hold on to it with both hands. 

To reveal the influences of our past, we have drawn the rune of Wunjo. Our past was guided by the power of Wunjo, and today it presents to us in a forward thinking state of being upright. This would indicate that you have accomplished some series of tasks in our past which has let us to a certain level of joy. Wunjo contains the ideas of wishful thinking, and optimism, which indicates that we have recently had a boost to the energy of hope that burns within us. Our present influence is that of Dagaz, the rune of change. Dagaz reveals that we are currently going through a paradigm shift within our mind, becoming more powerful in our decisions which thought process to engage, or allow to be engaged. This indicates that we are well on our way to spiritual enlightenment and understanding. Dagaz indicates that we are making some bold changes within our mind to move forward in our lives. To further reveal our future influences, we have drawn the rune of Nauthiz, a rune of action. Our future depends on the actions we make today, whether those actions move us, or they are inaction is purely up to each of us. Nauthiz speaks of a path forward that is uphill, therefore we must allow our momentum to carry us forward, and power our way through. Each of us has the mental strength necessary, the key is to NEVER QUIT. To understand what influences we should retain, we have drawn the rune Kenaz, and today it offers us cautions as it is inverted. While the ideas of change and forward evolution are optimal, we must exercise control as we reach the pinnacle of our understanding as to not become an elitist, or extremist who then attempts to force our perspective on others, simply retaining the idea of humility in an existence that is eternal.
