Rune Drawing For Yesterday

vervain13I wanted to include a photo of this rune but, a) I couldn't locate a downloadable list of runes and b) I STILL don't know how to upload photos as a regular part of my posts, grrrrrrrr!!! Anyway, the rune drawn was Hagalaz: Disruptive Natural Forces. I'll let the text have its say with my comment following:
"Change, freedom, invention, and liberation are all attributes of this Rune. Drawing it indicates a pressing need within the psyche to break free from constricting identification with material reality and to experience the world of archetypal mind. The Rune of elemental disruption, of events that seem to be totally beyond your control, Hagalaz has only an upright position, and yet it always operates through reversal. When you draw this Rune, expect disruption, for it is the Great Awakener, although the form the awakening takes may vary. Perhaps you will experience a gradual feeling of coming to your senses, as though you were emerging from a long sleep. Then again, the onset of power may be such as to rip away the fabric of what you previously knew as your reality, your security, your understanding of yourself, your work, your relationships or beliefs. Be aware, however, that what operates here is not ultimately an outside force, not a situation of you-at-the-mercy-of-externals. Your own nature is creating what is happening, and you are not without power. The inner strength you have funded until now in your life is your support and guide at a time when everything you've taken for granted is being challenged. The more severe the disruption in your life, the more significant and timely requirements for your growth. Another of the Cycle Runes, the term "radical discontinuity" best describes the action of Hagalaz at its most forceful. The universe and your own soul are demanding that you do, indeed, grow."
Whew! Heavy stuff, but good nonetheless. This, of course, ties into the dream I had recently (see earlier posts) and things have definitely evolved as the text states it. Situations of late have forced me to step back from everything and give it all a thorough reassessment, to indeed question much of what I have become comfortable with. Presently, as I am experiencing a financial dry spell, I am drawn to and engaging in self-healing and spiritual growth. The feeling is that of being in a crucible, yet, I feel quite good about it all.
Blessed Be.
