Rune Reading for May
represents new beginnings.
The Runes that came forward this month are:
Fehu (Rune of Possessions and Nourishment) – This rune is asking us to look into what we have gained and if we are sharing the gains thoughtfully. Are we squandering or holding on tightly? It is a delicate balance. Gains do not necessarily mean money. It could be knowledge, compassion, etc. Fehu also reaches for our creativity. We are all creative beings. How are we using our creative powers positively?
Dagaz (Rune of Breakthrough) – This rune is about transformation and change. There are times in life when a moment could change our life forever. It’s a matter of seizing that moment. Transformation could bring about such a dramatic change that it makes things end in our life because they no longer serve a purpose. It is the pathway to change.
Thurisaz – (Rune of Gateway – Note the Rune came forward in reverse) – The gateway is to step through however when the rune is reversed this means it is a place of non-action. So how are we stopping transformation from unfolding? What is holding us back? Why are we hesitating? What are you battling within yourself to elicit change?
Eihwaz – (Rune of Defense) – This rune indicates that change or transformation cannot occur without some type of discomfort. It also indicates trust in Divine power. Eihwaz is suggesting to “proceed”. Are we avoiding our sense of purpose? What is impeding our motivation for change?
The message from the runes this month of May is about powerful transformations wanting to occur however we may be getting in the way of the transformations. There will be gains from the transformations. Understanding that through transformation there is loss and that the loss is occurring because it may no longer serve a purpose in our life. Perhaps we are holding on to patterns that are causing us pain and lack of momentum however painful or heavy they may be just because we are accustomed to them.
Try the following exercise: Write down your desire for change. Take each desire and write down what you think might be holding back the change to make this desire happen. How truthful are the blocks you believed are occuring? Are these blocks simply being created by our thoughts?
Enjoy this month and all it brings! May transformations and breakthroughs unfold!
