For the week of 21 May 2023
Ingwaz (wrought iron tile) is the half-month rune through 29 May. Hagalaz is the intuitive rune, and Ehwaz indicates Wealth’s perspective. The spirits of place anchoring the runes this week are Turkey Wishbone with element Stone, in the direction of Within (innan), in the season of Spring (tree button). Read right to left is Ingwaz, Hagalaz, then Ehwaz.
The Runecast
Our time with Ingwaz this season has been more complicated–as has our time with all of the third aett. The complexity with Ingwaz has been framed by tense astral alignments, to say nothing of the malcontent that laces many of our daily engagements. For a rune that indicates stepping out into a new version of Self, Life, and/or dynamics, it has felt like a confining few moments with Ingwaz. And yet, what a great opportunity to explore how to be true to new Self in a time that is most likely to challenge it.
Learn more about this seasonal progression, and how to draw its insights into the personal spiritual path in Runic Book of Days.
