Raidho-The Journey is the Destination

A favourite rune of mine....

http://runesecrets.com/rune-meanings/raidho


Raidho- Ready

The place is here
And you're already in it.
Thorax split and heart open.
You're ready to fly.
Then Fly.
Simply spread your wings and do it
For there's nothing stopping you.

RUNE- EHWAZ

from Images for Ehwaz

My understanding of this rune when I wrote the poem is not consistent with my current readings on it.
Perhaps I wrote about Ehwaz reversed!
Anyway -here it is calling for delay and caution....

EHWAZ- Protection

You feel all and think nothing
You can't act now
For the mirror is blurred
And you're breathing too fast
And your head's in a spin.

It's time to lie low
It's time to listen
For the warning rustle of sedge grass
Or become like elk with curved horn -
For both keep open the space around you.

ANSUZ

ANSUZ-Signals

Draw from the well and drink now
For the desert is far and the journey long
And you are on the brink
of a new beginning.

Unlikely sources point the way
Shakespeare's fools, idiots, madmen
who jabber and jest
Signs for you to unscramble.

But be careful
or you will miss the moment
Dismiss it as irrelevent.
When all the time
It is timely and sacred.

Rune for Joy

Another rune poem for you...


Wunjo- Joy

You have shifted on your own axis
and aligned yourself with yourself.
The deluge that was damned up
can now flow
Generous in the knowledge of its own stillness.
Blow out the candles
and cut the cake.
The time is now
and you are ready.

Runes

Maybe it's the Mercury transit/lunar eclipse...

A few years ago I had a bag of rune stones
and
I wrote a series of poems, one on each rune.

But whether runes interest you or not,  the mind-states here will be familiar.

For info on Runes see link below

Blank Odin

Strung up by his heels Odin hung
for nine nights from Yggdrasil
self-drained from Self until he saw
the word reflected in the water.

Now is the time to leave behind
to pass through
to come to
a new beginning
that is also an end
to what you already know.

Nauthiz-Constraint

Repair your saddle
and tie up the horse.
There'll be no ride today.
For the horse is lame
And there's mist on the moor
And no knowing where you're going.

It's time to muck out and clean tack
the bridle,bit and saddle
And think about why
the horse is lame
and you are held back.
