Draw for September 27, 2015

The Giants’ Tarot, Raven Kaldera

Aurboda the Healer/Page of Wands; Fehu; Hidden Influence of Hymir & Hrod/Five of Swords.

Today is all about communication and movement. Aurboda is seen flying from Jotunheim to Vanaheim, carrying healing herbs for Freya, creating a bridge between the two realms. Hymir & Hrod represent some of the first Jotnar to cross between Muspellheim and Niflheim, creating a bridge between the two cultures.

Ansuz is the God Voice, the Breath of Life. Many runeworkers associate Ansuz with Odin as Allfather and creator of Ask and Embla. Ansuz is also associated by some with Loki, both for his affiliation with Mercury as messenger of the Gods, and also for those who view Loki as the pre-Norse Father God.

No matter who you associate with Ansuz, the message is clear: LISTEN. Listen again. Whoever you are listening to has something you need to hear about healing. Pay attention to others’ words and actions. Be open to synchronicity. You may find something today that is exactly what you needed and didn’t know you were looking for.

Also, communicate clearly. We have two ears and one mouth. Listen,  then speak after you have confirmed with the other person that  you have understood what they meant–not just what they said. Then take the time to convey your thoughts, feelings, ideas, etc. clearly, and to make sure the other person has understood. The Active Listening technique can take some time to learn, and may seem to make conversations take longer, but is it really longer than getting into an argument, having to calm down, and having to have the same discussion again?

Today is also the Lunar Eclipse with the Full Blood Moon. ALL THE ENERGY. Tap into it and channel it wisely. Much healing of personal wounds and relationship problems (any kind of relationship, not just romantic) can be done today, if we pay attention to the real words of ourselves and the others involved.
