The Legacy Built From Earthly Power ~ Rune and Tarot for 20 Nov 2016

Of all the 4 of Disks cards in all the decks I have, this one from my Thoth deck is my favorite. We see a castle, towers rising in each corner surrounded by a moat, each tower representing one of the four elements. The castle’s structure is strong, and sits safely away from danger. The yellow area surrounding the castle while energetic in feeling, also gives a sense of balance or structure. A card of Elemental Earth the 4 of Disks denotes wealth that’s building with financial gains assured. It represents our legacy built from earthly power.

The rune Eihwaz also appears in today’s rune and tarot reading, a rune of both Elemental Fire and Air, representing a connection between physical and nonphysical aspects of Self. Providing strength, Eihwaz guards against self-destructive behavior and assists in fulfilling our goals. For the hedgewitch, Eihwaz assists her in hedge riding or shamanic journeying as it’s also called. The witch moves easily between physical form and astral presence and can transmute energy from one state to another using Eihwaz.

The 13th rune of the Elder Futhark, although I consider 13 as a Witch number therefore of the Master variety, if I reduce it down the resulting number is 4. Like with the 4 of Disks, Eihwaz represents structure as the link between realms and is one I use frequently in bindrunes to bind the runes together into form. Adding both together, we reach 8, representing strength. Both 4 and 8 also represent Gaia energy with Eihwaz providing the link between Earth and Source Energies.

It would seem that awareness of our Source Presence both provides and reinforces the strength and structure of our lives. A legacy founded on spiritual awareness is stronger and more powerful than any created from egoic entitlement. Drawing from our Source Presence, we let strength and power flow through us, creating the success and ultimate security that brings.

On a broader level, awareness of who we are collectively as Source Energy should guide our choices in the days ahead when things seem so bleak. Do we create a legacy born of hate and division, or one of love and compassion? A course has been set by those who would prefer the former to the latter. But Source Energy is more powerful than anything the ego has to throw at us. The light of love and truth will shine through all of it, our collective Source Presence illuminating our way.
