ᛣᛗᛁ

ᛣ Elhaz Reversed- Losing touch with your intuition, sense of vulnerability. Stay on guard for any trouble but don't become paranoid or filled with fear. Take care of your physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional health. Avoid making hasty decisions. Use your intuition to distinguish who is trying to take advantage of you, for your protection. ᛗ Mannaz-  Humanity, the self, support, assistance, intelligence, family. Remember that we, humans, are one and cannot make progress on our own, we need each other. If there is tension between what you perceive as your place in the Universe and who you are, it is best that you maintain self-awareness and choose carefully how you approach some situations (listen to your intuition). Keep an open mind when it comes to receiving help from others and lending a hand to people in need. ᛁ Isa- Obstacles, standstill, stagnation, delay, coldness. You are advised to accept your circumstance as a reality, focusing your energy on making progress to be ready once you are able to. Don't give up trying; don't assume that it is over, this situation is temporary and doesn't mean things won't work out in the end. Evaluate things from a cool perspective and ask yourself if you have been open and expressive about your feelings lately.

Runes of the day: 10/15/2023

ᛚᛝᚱ ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

ᛚ Laguz Reversed- Lack of flow, unhealthy impulses, hidden motives, lack of creativity. You may be tempted to give into unhealthy habits or try the easy way out. Spend some time near a natural body of water (river, lake, pond, beach) to help you find some clarity. Alternatively, stay in touch with your intuition as someone may be trying to take advantage of you or sabotage you. If you are feeling drained, try getting out of your routine to allow new energies to come into your life. ᛝ Ingwaz- Healthy and heart sexual relationship, fertility, male procreative energy, channeling energy, completion, safety. A rune of good fortune. Your energy is being channeled through projects or ventures; the energy behind this is strong and heading toward great results. Alternatively, an old phase of your life is coming to an end, making space for you to reach your full potential; just let the situation conclude itself, as a big turning event will bring major results. ᚱ Raidho-- Travel, a journey, movement, reunion, changes. You are or will be setting off on a journey. The reward when you reach your destination will be worth it, but try to focus on the journey itself as it will be a pleasant experience and a learning opportunity. You may be presented with a chance to resolve a past (or current) disagreement or dispute, as it is a great time for negotiations/considerations with others. Remember that nothing is permanent and some situations will pass.

Runes of the Day: 10/14/2023

ᚹᛞᛖ ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

ᚹ Wunjo Reversed- Unhappy time, anxiety, things are not going your way, tension or misunderstandings, blockage. You might not be in the right headspace, so avoiding making important decisions right now would be wise. Go decompress and focus on things that make you happy, and then you can come back to tackle any problem with a clear and calm mind.

ᛞ Dagaz- Daylight, success, hope, breakthrough, transformation, balance. Stay optimistic and focus on the positive as much as you can. Seek balance in life or on how you approach the situation. Spiritual growth is in sight, as you communicate with divine energies.

ᛖ Ehwaz Reversed- Lack of faith, lack of momentum, feeling restless, not the best time to travel, escapism. Step back and take a better look at how you have been approaching things. Avoid making important decisions until you have regained your confidence. Also. it would be wise to avoid traveling right now--unless you have to, then take some extra precautions and don't let the interruptions get to you. It is best that you don't avoid inner work (like shadow work, therapy, eating healthy, self-care) through escapism (substance abuse or anything mind-numbing).

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

For those of you that feel like you're less of a witch because you don't have all of the witchy supplies. Remember, feeling a pull towards witchcraft is what makes you a witch, not the ability to buy out a metaphysical store.

Buying witchy things is fun but it's not what makes you a witch.

- Erika, The Clumsy Witch
