Rune Reading for the Week of 3/6-3/12 runeworksbyamanda.wordpress.com March comes in like a lion with Thuriaz, a rune of great power, of breaking through barriers and the uncontrolled forces of chaos. But there is also a negative side to this as these forces can also trigger strong energies of aggression and conflict so the focus of this week is on avoiding unnecessary conflict while ridding out the positive chaos energies and making room for the changes they bring. What to do Ehwaz is a rune of journeys and messages. Reversed it can represent a far journey or a sudden unpredictable change, especially with Uruz. This is a reminder to embrace the breakthroughs brought by Thuriaz and step outside your comfort zone. But Ehwaz reversed can also represent betrayal and enemies so it reminds us to guard against these things, especially in the current hair-trigger environment Thuriaz is creating. Berca is another rune of change though of a more gentle nature, usually referring to new beginnings and life cycle events, especially relating to home and family. It also represents patience nurturing, trust, and love so, even as it brings changes, it reminds us to embrace our more gentle, caring side, as a counter to Thuriaz. What not to Do Uruz represents many strong and forceful qualities such as resilience, endurance, courage, and persistence. While most of these sound like positive qualities, they also sound a lot like what Thuriaz represents so here Uruz is a reminder that too much of a good thing makes it bad and trying to be persistent and forceful in the current environment is likely to go out of control and possibly blow up in your face. Sigel is yet another strong and active rune representing victory, great power, will, and persistence, energies which are, again, are too explosive combined with Thuriaz. Sigel represents active energy as opposed to Berca’s more passive energy and it’s appearance here clearly states that now is the time to receive, not to do. #runes #runereading #march #inlikealion #chaos #change #ridethestorm #thuriaz #sigel #berca #uruz #ehwaz #aggression #toomuchofagoodthing
