Witch Notes: Alternative Facts Edition ~ Runecasting for 22 Jan 2017

Alternative Facts. I guess that’s the new meme for the day. However, the number 22 is a Master Number indicating cosmic law is at work today. Women everywhere marched in solidarity yesterday, 100,000 in Portland, Oregon alone, thousands more in Bend. Women don’t appreciate the outcome of an election that leaves them offended and worried, which is putting it mildly.

But what now? How do we move forward in this time of such deceit? He’s already lying about the size of the inaugural crowd instead of being grateful for any attendance at all. His press secretary seems more than willing to expound on said lies with the blonde spokeswoman wraith referring to his lies as alternative facts on a news program this morning. He met with the CIA, promising, I am with you 1000 percent. We know that can’t possibly be true, but what does that matter in an alternative facts world?

As a mom, I can tell you that if my boys had ever suggested they were giving me alternative facts instead of the truth they would have been laughed out of the room. My husband is still laughing about the wraith’s comments.

Women have proven that we can come together in solidarity to raise our voices for love and unity. Of course not all were able to come to the Women’s March because they were denied entry to our country. From Daily Kos:

The Guardian is reporting that numerous Canadian, French and British citizens have been denied entry to the United States because they intended to join today’s anti-Trump protests.  www.theguardian.com/…

At at least one border crossing, the first question they were asked by border patrol officers was “Are you anti- or pro-Trump?”  They were also all seriously harassed.  They were put into secondary inspection for hours, interrogated, fingerprinted, photographed, all their belongings and vehicles were pawed through, and they were told they would need visas to enter in the future.

I’ve been a U.S. immigration lawyer for 30 years, and my hands are shaking like leaves in a hurricane.  That’s outrageous!  By statute, Canadians are visa-exempt.  The border patrol agents have no authority to deny admission for political reasons!  French and British citizens also do not need visas under the Visa Waiver Program.  The claim that they will need visas in the future must mean that they were formally placed on a terrorist watch list!

This is incredibly un-American.  But under a fascist regime, the low-lifes with guns always turn ugly.

This happened at more than one border crossing, which suggests it was not just a few rogue officers but was coordinated from the top of Customs and Border Protection, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security.³

I’m really not adept at alternative facts but I’m sure the wraith will explain this to us. The shining city on a hill has been replaced with a gaudy tower, kleptocracy, facism, and Goddess knows what else replacing our blessed democracy.

He wanted tanks to rumble down the inaugural parade route. Tanks.

Whenever I don’t know what to do I cast runes. I have several sets, most of which I craft myself. My husband helps by cutting rune stock for me, but I do the rest. I used my hawthorn rune set for today’s runecasting and then created a bindrune from the runes cast. I posed the question, in this new alternative facts world in which we now find ourselves, how do we proceed from here?

Eihwaz, Tiwaz,, Berkano, and Wunjo comprise today’s runecasting. The numerology of the runes is 13, 17, 18, and 8 reducing to 65 and from there, 11. Interesting that it’s another Master Number, this time for illumination, and half the Master Number of 22.

Eihwaz, the 13th rune of the Elder Futhark, represents our link between Spirit and form, and is useful in trance work. Protection, banishing, and strength are this rune’s influences. Eihwaz assists us in attaining objectives, its dual Fire/Air influences increasing our power and will.

Tiwaz is the rune of the god, Tyr, and suggests upholding faith and victory. It’s the spiritual warrior within and strengthens our self-discipline. What must be is felt with Tiwaz..decisions must be made based on justice and strong values.

Berkano brings healing to the runecasting as well as femininity and motherhood. We bring into being with Berkano’s influence, invoking Gaia energies to bring our ideas to fruition. Chanting its name brings a sense of peace and calm, allowing us to move into alignment with Source Presence.

Lastly, Wunjo, the 8th rune of the Elder Futhark, suggests joy and happiness. Strength found in fellowship and harmony with others is among this rune’s influences. As the wish rune, Wunjo asks us to seek that which brings us the most happiness.

It would seem that remembering who we are is critical to our happiness. It would be nice to relegate all of this to a really bad television show but we can’t. Grace and dignity has been replaced by a bad game show host who seems to believe he can say anything, do anything, and it’s just fine. Which it’s not.

He has no dignity, no honor, filled only with hot air and what his spokeswraith is calling alternative facts. Goddess help us all.

I created a bindrune to help us through. Draw it everywhere. Keep it with you throughout your day as remembrance of who you are.

We are Spirit focusing into form, with power and honor. Warriors are we, protecting all with faith and justice. We are Healers, bringing a new world into being. And we are Love and Joy, extending that resonance to all.

We are One Family, aligned in our collective Source Presence. Nothing and no one will ever change that truth.

Blessings to all!
