Prevailing situation

Perth. Initiation. Something. Hidden. A Secret Matter

Perth.
Initiation. Something. Hidden. A Secret Matter

A hieratic or mystery Rune pointing to that which is beyond our frail manipulative powers. Perth is on the side of Heaven, the Unknowable, and has associations with the phoenix, that mystical bird which consumes itself in the fire and then rises from its own ashes. Its ways are secret and hidden.

Powerful forces of change are at work here. Yet what is achieved is not easily or readily shared. After all, becoming whole the means of it is a profound secret.

On the side of the earthly or mundane, there may well be surprises, gains or rewards that you did not anticipate. On the side of human nature, this Rune is symbolized by the flight of the eagle. Soaring flight, free from entanglement, lifting yourself above the endless ebb and flow of ordinary life to acquire broader vision all this is indicated here.

Another of the Cycle Runes, Perth stands at the heart of Initiation. Nothing external matters here, except as it shows you its inner reflection. This Rune is concerned with the deepest stratum of our being, the bedrock on which our destiny is founded. For some, Perth means experiencing a death. If need be, let go of everything, no exceptions, no exclusions. Nothing less than renewal of the Spirit is at stake.

Required direction of actions

Raido. Journey. Communication. Union, Reunion

Raido.
Journey. Communication. Union, Reunion

This Rune is concerned with communication, with the attunement of something that has two sides, two elements, and with the ultimate union that comes at the end of the journey, when what is above and what is below are united and of one mind.

Inner worth mounts here, and at such a time you are not intended to rely entirely upon your own power. Instead, ask what constitutes right action. Ask through prayer or meditation, through addressing the Witness Self, the Teacher Within. Once you are clear, you can neutralize your refusal to let right action flow through you. Not intent on movement, be content to wait; while you wait, keep on removing resistances. As the obstructions give way, all remorse arising from trying to make things happen disappears.

The journey is toward selfhealing, selfchange and union. You are concerned here with nothing less than unobstructed, perfect union. But the union of Heaven and Earth cannot be forced. Regulate any excesses in your life. Material advantages must not weigh heavily on this journey of the self toward the Self. Stand apart even from likeminded others; the notion of strength in numbers does not apply at such a time, for this part of the journey the soul`s journey cannot be shared.

Another of the Cycle Runes, Raido carries within its form the Rune of Joy, for now the end is in sight. You are no longer burdened by what you`ve left behind. Heaven above you and Earth below you unite within you to support you on your way.

A simple prayer for the soul`s journey is: I will to will Thy Will. Such a Prayer of Intention is proper on any occasion, and is particularly appropriate as a preamble to healing.

Situation to follow

Ehwaz. Movement. Progress. The Horse

Ehwaz.
Movement. Progress. The Horse

Ehwaz is a Rune of transit, transition and movement; of physical shifts, new dwelling places, new attitudes or new life. It also signifies movement in the sense of improving or bettering any situation.

There is about this Rune a sense of gradual development and steady progress, with the accompanying notion of slow growth through numerous shifts and changes. This could apply to the growth of a business or to the development of an idea. A relationship may need to undergo changes if it is to live and grow. Moral effort and steadfastness are called for when you draw Movement, another of the Cycle Runes. Let it be said this way: As I cultivate my own nature, all else follows.

This Rune`s symbol is the horse, and it signifies the bond between horse and rider. Bronze Age artifacts show a horse drawing the sun across the sky. Here, Ehwaz is saying, you have progressed far enough to feel a measure of safety in your position. Now it is time to turn again and face the future reassured, prepared to share the good fortune that comes your way. The sharing is significant since it relates to the sun`s power to foster life and illuminate all things with its light.
