The Weekly Rune - Laguz
The Weekly Rune - Laguz
Maying, and The Death of Death
Laguz (carved reindeer antler slice) is the half-month rune through 29 April. Tiwaz reversed is the intuitive rune, and Jera indicates the broad overview. The spirits of place anchoring the runes this week are Radiance, in element Flesh, the season of Autumn (tree button), and helping Spirit, Death, in the direction of Beyond (Earth marble). Read right to left is Laguz, Tiwaz reversed, then Jera.
The Runecast
This watery season of Laguz has been characterized by a good bit of distraction from Flow. Not that we haven’t been attentive to Flow, or that we haven’t been intentional about our awareness of it. We have. The distractions have been bountiful.
For that reason, the combination in this runecast suggests it isn’t Flow, itself, that’s so hard to get in step with, as it is often put forward in many spiritual corners. We hear the same anthems touted about the human-person experience with regard to how we also soul: we’re only human. We can’t know the machinations of godden. We respond the best we can. Those pat responses omit where humans have made being here harder, not just for each other, but for ecosystems, the planet. Even assuming we come in knowing it will be hard, these runes suggest maybe all the human-person systems we’ve put in place that challenge our awareness of and relationship to sacred order are the actual problem.
Learn more about this seasonal progression, and how to draw its insights into the personal spiritual path in Runic Book of Days.
