Rune Reading for July
The Runes that came forward this month are:
Raido (Rune of Journey) – This rune is about the element of two sides. This rune is also about communication. Even though the rune is listed as journey it does not fully mean that a person is to venture on a physical journey, but it is about journeying within and taking time with the journey within. It is about self-healing or self-change. Do not rush this journey. It is about the self so attempting this journey with others would not be beneficial because a journey to the soul is a self-journey.
Teiwaz (Rune - Spiritual Warrior) - It is interesting that the Rune of Teiwaz follows Breakthrough. It is asking us Spiritual Warriors to cut through or remove things that no longer belong. It is also noting that we are in relationship with Creator or Spiritual Guides and we should not get in the way of their work. The Universe is guiding. The Rune is asking to be patient. Work is needed to be done here. It is important to go within and do some inner work.
Algiz (Rune – Possession/Nourishment) (REVERSED) – This Rune is about nourishing the self. Be careful of the company you are keeping or are attracted to at this time. Are you embracing those that are demanding of you or offer no benefit? Temperance is part of this rune. Practicing self-control is of importance with this rune.
Ehwaz (Rune – Movement (REVERSED) – This Rune is the reverse of movement. It is about being aware that at this time not all opportunities are available to you. It is a time of slowing down and recognizing. It actually may be a time to actually avoid movement. A time to be still. What is for you will come to you. Do not force what is not ready for you or may not be yours to have or be.
The message from the runes this month of July is about illumination. July is considered a time when the “dog days of summer” occur and these tend to be uncomfortably hot days. It is through our introspection that illumination of the self occurs. That illumination may be very uncomfortable and yet it is through embracing the uncomfortable understanding of ourselves that we grow and learn. Inner renewal is at hand here. Be kind to yourself for we are always a work in progress.
How do we accomplish inner renewal or illumination work? Perhaps sitting for at least 5 minutes a day and see what arises while playing music or sitting in silence. When something arises, hold it and feel it. What is it? Good or bad. What do you want to say to yourself? Does this feeling need to be processed at this time? How would you accomplish inner renewal?
Enjoy this month and all it brings! July is about illumination! Embrace and spread your beautiful light!
