Rune Reading for November

So, something new and exciting that I am beginning this month is I am casting Runes. I am casting the Runes to see what messages are being offered this month of November.

When I cast, the following Runes came through: Othila (reversed), Mannaz (reversed) and Eihwaz (which has no reversal).

The first Rune, Othila reversed, offers the message to let go and not be limited by ways that we hold onto. There is pain in letting go of things that comfort us, however what is also being required of us is to look at the necessity now to let go and to look at this necessity of letting go with truth.

Does what you are holding onto still serve you and those around you? What would happen if we stepped out of the way? What would unfold? Why are we holding on so tightly to things that comfort us?

The next Rune, Mannaz reversed as well, is about the Self. It is important to spend time with the Self and to reflect. We need to reflect on habits and why we are holding on to past items, ideas, or whatever that is not serving us any longer. We are holding on to what we feel is a comfort, but ask yourself is it? Be kind to yourself when you are reflecting. We can be our harshest judge!

The final Rune, Ehiwaz, has no reverse or upright position. Its message is about being on the Defense, but it is also about embracing patience. Everything has its time and momentum. When something new is trying to come in or arise we must be patient with the changes that need to occur at the start of a new life.

I remember when I was a mother for the first time. I wanted to nurse my newborn son. I was having some difficulty with it. It was important to me and I called a girlfriend of mine that had nursed her son and she said “persevere”. I embraced that word because it gave me hope that if I was patient, gentle and understanding with myself and my child I would be able to nurse my child and in the end I did. I always think of that word when I come across an obstacle I need to surmount. I need to “Persevere”.

The month of November is a month about “Perseverance”. In order to move through transitions in life we need to persevere. Go within, reflect and be patient with the movement of November.

In peace,
