In Defining Our Sacred Space ~ Runecasting for 10 Dec 2016

Flow, alignment, and inspiration, the three rays of Awen represented by Hagalaz, Isa, and Nauthiz, sit below each ray of Awen, Herkimer diamonds placed between to amplify Divine energy. A piece of aqua aura quartz represents Higher Self presence. Typically if I have a significator, it’s only one, but today I thought I would use all three.

Othala, the twenty-third rune of the Elder Futhark, represents homeland, ancestry, and is considered the rune of sacred space. Some rune practitioners place Othala at the end, but I prefer Dagaz to have that position. Peace, security, protection, and ancestral tradition are felt with Othala.

Hagalaz establishes our foundation from which change flows; Isa represents our still point of alignment; while Nauthiz provides the friction needed for inspiration. We flow effortlessly into alignment, inspiration its genesis.

The runes are interesting in that they can be used for divination or in simple consideration of how they can influence our lives. Today’s runecasting asks us to consider how we use our flow, alignment, and inspiration to create our sacred space.

Where we begin matters. We not only begin as Source Energy, but eternally remain so while focused into form. When mindful of this truth, we radiate a positive, loving vibration. If we become caught up in the drama of physical existence, we then react to that drama rather than radiating or creating our own experience. We don’t begin in the body, even though it seems that way. We are always Source Energy and we have complete control over how we process our experiences.

Our ancestry, our homeland, feels tangible in nature. But that’s a projection of collective consciousness, and is not reflective of the eternal Self, our true home. Alignment in Source Presence allows unlimited expression, our focus steady and on our own creations.

The conflict and strife of the world seems less interesting with a focus on positive creation. Although right now, many of us are distracted by fear and anger over possible changes we may experience, collectively, we have the ability to raise our vibration to a level that the lower negative energies no longer find purchase.

But here’s the thing. These changes are only possible. Hagalaz, Isa, and Nauthiz represent the three Norns who traditionally direct the fate of men. But given that the Norns also represent the flow of our Source Presence, they illustrate that we have the power to direct our own fate when that power flows from our alignment. Collectively, we are one Source Energy, far more powerful in our focus together than individually. Together we can align our collective focus to cast the intention of love and unity. We can let that be our sacred space.

It was always meant to be this way, living in unity and peace. It’s not that there wouldn’t have been challenges, but to experience this level of separation is just not who we are. We are one Source Presence, irrespective of what anyone might believe. The numerology of the Norns is 3, or unified wholeness, and 5 for Othala, or dynamic change suggesting that there’s still time to collectively transmute the trauma and strife we’re experiencing into positive change. We’ve always been stronger together and today is no different.

And as we all flow effortlessly into our unified wholeness, casting our collective intention of love to the universe, know for certain that we are all so blessed be.
