Let go of the need to defend yourself and prepare to offer peace. You are safe.
If you have been exposed to a situation in which you have felt the need to protect yourself or defend what you feel is right, know that this is now coming to an end. You are being guided to know that the energies of light are entering to wash away all the darkness. You can drop your shields and protection. You are now in a situation that will honor you and honor your needs. Arguments are ending and disagreements are being resolved. Prepare to talk things through and offer the peace that you would like to enjoy. In order to move forward in a more fearless way, it’s important for you to let go of the idea that you can be hurt by this situation or the people involved, because this will only work against you. Know that your angelic guides and ancestors are standing around you, protecting you and taking you lovingly forward.
Honor Your Inner Knowing
Take action. Do what you need to do.
There is an old pattern rising up in you now and it’s time to deal with it and release it for good. You’re being encouraged to love and respect yourself enough to take the steps you know you need to take to move closer to where you’d like to be. You already know the answers. You know what you need to do. You may have been using delaying tactics or holding back, but now you are being guided to take action. Action requires courage and your angels and guides are bringing you the courage to move forward. Take just one step. When you do, the next one will be presented to you.
They who constantly dish out pain or suffering are showing plain what resides in their own being. They will implode, their creation will expire, for they lack the skill or desire to transform their own bullshit, they simply offload it onto the unsuspecting, the innocent, and call it power.
They never create that which is good for it does not reside in them … it will always feed on the light and love of another. It is incapable of generating for its own needs, it will always be a feeder … never an actual producer of that which is good. It is insufficient in and of itself. It will fade without light, it will never be equal to benevolence. It will implode and become no-thing.
It is capable of taking love, like the thief it prefers to be, utterly incapable of seeing this truth.
On the one hand, the light is using life to threaten darkness. On the other, darkness steals what light is given. No respect is shown by either side of this warring nature. I’m stuck, indeed we all are, between two factions who refuse to cede to each other.
It is a Power Play.
All will be destroyed by this arrogant abuse of Will. On all sides.
If light truly does feed the dark, perhaps the dark is what it is because that is what it is feeding on, this is what the light gives it, or more likely … this is what the dark incites from the light. What does the dark feed the light? The same, the only thing it has available to itself … it is a reciprocation … a never ending reciprocation.
Why should those of the light use anyone to threaten the dark, knowing the dark has the power to put them in a hell?
Both factions are erring egregiously, and no one can see it, except the middle (wo)man being played against itself.
Neutrality seems to be the only solution. A non-exchange.
Let everyone stand still for a moment, for some time in their own space and being, and understand this war between light and dark is within them, being projected outward into the world.
This is my second attempt at Rune Reading. Please bare with me as I train myself, and if anyone has a different idea of what this particular layout is saying, please share in the comments section. Here is the layout:
The problem: The first pair is NIED and JERA. NIED suggests patience is needed, no amount of rushing something will make it work out any faster. This could be a difficult learning situation. This time is known as crossing the abyss by many occult writers and is often a time of extreme emotional travail. However, meeting this emotional challenge head-on and conquering your fear of it can be the catalyst that drives you to overcome whatever obstacles appear in your path later. Paired with JERA (the rune of justice and legalities) in this position implies events must come to fruit in their own good time, and a positive outcome to the dilemma at hand, often utilizing legal help. It could be a warning not to speak ill of others before all the relevant facts are known.
Factors in the past: Next we have BEORC paired with HAGALL. BEORC is a fertility rune, a rune of birth and of family. It always presages a birth, whether it is an actual birth or the formation of an idea. It suggests that any schemes in the works should be implemented right away. HAGALL represents all forces outside your control. It will turn up when you are thinking of taking a risk of some sort. Sometimes this rune will appear to show that your future at this time is in the hands of another. Usually this other has no personal interest in you whatsoever. You may receive notice of this control second-hand, as through an official letter. Trying to fight against fate or circumstance at this time will only bring you grief.
Advice: Next we have FEHU paired with SIGEL. FEHU is a symbol of earned income, something which has to be worked for but will produce an expected source of revenue. Indicates prosperity coming to you in some form. It is a rune of fulfillment – something which you have been striving toward will finally be within your grasp. Signifies overcoming opposition, whether personal, or impersonal. Suggests you have what it takes to win out over the opposing forces through diligence and hard work. Paired with SIGEL it hints at victory. SIGEL is a rune of great power, and much power will be available to you at this time to effect changes in your life. You may be working too hard and sorely in need of a little rest and relaxation.
Result: WUNJO in this position means joy and happiness coming into your life. The shift that was due has arrived, the Wheel of Karma has turned in your favor, and you are about to “come to yourself” in some way. Be happy!

Journey inwards to uncover insights and information that will be important for your path. Then follow the guidance. You are very connected to the other worlds at this time. The wisdom and intelligence of the Earth and her magic surrounds you. Mother Earths heartbeat has cleared the cobwebs and dust from your inner vision. What you have seen in your dreams and inner vision is not imagination but guidance, particularly if it has bee coming to you repeatedly, and has the potential to become reality. Dreams come true – know it and live it.
Stay alert, as change is in the air. The energies around you are changing at this time, and although it may not always be comfortable, you are equipped with all you need to survive this shift. You are being presented with opportunities to reach spaces you’ve never encountered before, and this can make you feel on edge, but be open to the shifts occurring, because they really are the answers to your prayers. The experience of being hunted or threatened is now behind you and you are being invited to come out from your den and reveal your glory and talents. Trust in your talents in order to be the best you can be in these changing times.
Look at things from a different angle. Fly higher and see new possibilities. Eagle medicine swirls around you, encouraging you to recognize that your views or vision may be limited at this time. Is there a chance that your own desperation, needs or ego could be blocking you from seeing the potential in your current situation? If there are other people involved, you are being guided to see things from everyone’s perspective. If you are feeling the need for something to change, how can you take the higher road? Know that if you have intentions that aren’t for the highest good, it will only hold you back. Eagle medicine can help you change this. The Eagle brings the energy of healing and love directly from the heart of Father Sky and invites you to do all things from a place of love.
Take the higher road and choose the light. Remove yourself from lower-energy experiences. No matter what is happening to you or around you, you have a choice. Choose not to be pulled into dramas, bickering or energies that are just going to limit your joy. If you are surrounded by people who are hostile towards you or someone else, or you are in a negative situation, you are being invited to be the light. You are an incredible person who can really bring light. So how can you change the energy? How can you redirect the conversation to love? How can you protect yourself? How can you help the person that is being picked on? Or are you the one who is guilty of causing a drama? You will know the answers. Know also that you are being encouraged to shine the light you were born to share.
Connect with your desires. The sparks could lead to something beautiful. You are being guided by your angels to connect with powerful energy of desire at this time. If you have recently set an intention to explore your sexual side or become more sexually open, the fire of desire can burn away any old setbacks that are preventing you from expressing that part of your nature. If you are in a relationship, this can indicate a great spiritual and sexual connection.
Take time to rest and recuperate in order to continue your growth. Benefit from the information that will come directly from your heart space. You have been working hard and giving your all to your current situation and it may become draining and detrimental to your development unless you retreat and recharge your energies. So you are being guided to take a step back at this time. If you are working on bringing something together, your over-involvement could impeded the process, so retreat and breathe. If you have something to say or do that could have a larger impact on your life, spend some time in deep thought – even contemplation – before moving forward. Often when we rush in, we don’t see how destructive our actions can be. So meditate and listen to your souls wisdom before proceeding further.
Trust in your angels, guides and ancestors. If you have given your power away, claim it back. There are spiritual allies working in your favor and their miracles will unfold much more easily when you move into a state of trust. So call back your power and stop allowing external forces to divert you from the miracles you deserve. Hand over all of your concerns to your spiritual allies. When you do so, you allow them to send you intuitive guidance and messages that will allow you to correct this situation and come out on top. You have shamanic potential to move between the realms and connect with your guides in an extremely personal way.

I’ve purchased my first set of runes and below is my first attempt at reading them. Please take from it what you will, or disregard according to your own instinct. As in all readings, your discernment and resonance will let you know if it is for you. Thank you for playing. 🥰
Circumstances are in the lap of the gods. The force is available to you at this time to complete any projects, and a successful conclusion to a problem is at hand. There will be a sense of relief that comes from a positive accomplishment, a mind free from anxiety.
The ending of an old phase of life giving birth to a new and more exciting one. This is a time of positive energies and deliverance, you may be assured of good fortune.
There is a fortunate new influence entering your life, often through unconscious emotions or instincts. EOLH is a rune of friendship and often shows a new relationship with someone who is outgoing, generous and fun to be around. You will be protected from any misfortune. If harm does threaten, you will receive a very strong premonition of disaster which enables you to avoid whatever problems may arise.
There is an indication the spoken word, the taking of advice, or the acquisition of wisdom is forthcoming. Fears should be put aside for the ability to sail through whatever rises with eloquence and ease is yours. Be on the lookout during meetings or chance encounters, especially with older people or those wiser than yourself.
Use careful thought and deliberation, coupled with the advice of another. The advice will be honest and helpful, it will be given totally free of guile and may be just what you need to hear at this time in order to solve a dilemma.
Great victory, success in any competition. This spirit will probably permeate your life for the next three months. You are about to take up a “cause,” or have already done so. It usually concerns the “forces of fair play” versus the “forces of unjust oppression.” You are ready to fight for what you believe in, no matter what the odds, and, you will probably succeed.
Extreme motivation is present, showing a strength of will and a singleness of mind that can enable you to overcome all odds. You will keep up the fight and go from strength to strength tearing up the opposition.
You’re receiving an excellent omen in all questions of love and relationships. It is indicated a timely new romance, filled with happiness and passion could be near.
There are forces outside your control. A disruption could be good when you are taking a risk of some sort and there is indication this risk will pay off. There is a faceless other, as an official or someone with no personal interest in you whatsoever. Trying to fight against Fate or circumstance at this time could bring grief. Sit back and go with the flow. There could be an interruption but it will only last a few months. This interruption could be the catalyst that causes you to totally change your direction.
There are things hidden, secrets, and occult abilities. Something that has remained hidden is about to come to light. This something is usually positive, such as a new opportunity or perhaps a retrieval of an object thought to be lost for good. There may be a secret disclosed, one which you may have been trying very hard to keep to yourself.
Unexpected gains and surprises, an unearned gain of money. The givers motives may be suspect, use discernment.
You may have a strong intuitive or occult ability that may soon be called upon to help someone in a difficult time.

Do not give up, there is hope yet. A wish will be granted. A birth is imminent. Fertility is everywhere.
Yemaya started her life as an orisha – a river spirit – in Africa. As her people traveled over the ocean to other nations is slave ships, she became, over time, a goddess of the sea. Her cult spread to Brazil, and she is still worshipped today in both of these lands as a goddess of hope and love.
Yemaya is often depicted as a mermaid, slipping between waves with a light woven in her hair, and she is also considered the nourishing mother aspect of all water. Yemaya is invoked in childbirth, as it is said that she created the sea and every man, woman, and sea creature. She is an extremely loving goddess who assists women in particular. Many homes that follow the Santeria faith have a statue of Yemaya, placed by the most senior woman who lives there.
Yemaya is most renowned for her ability to grant wishes. Those who feel that there is no hope go to her for intervention. She specializes in impossible wishes, ones that look almost like miracles when granted. This wonderful ability spawned the ritual of Yemaya boats, a festival where thousands of people create little boats containing their wishes and hope that the goddess I’ll assist them. Each supplicant places a lighted candle in the boat and then sets it on the water. If the boat makes it past the waves before it delves into the deep, it is said that Yemaya will grant the wish.
Call upon the generous love of Yemaya when you feel hopeless or unsupported. Sometimes we all feel alone in something that we are struggling with – we believe that our family doesn’t understand us and that our friends aren’t seeing things from our side – and these are the times when Yemaya can help. Yemaya offers us a loving strength to help us know that there is hope and that things will change for the better. A long-held wish may well be granted when all else has failed.
There is a ritual based on the tradition of sending boats filled with wishes to Yemaya. This petition is most ideally performed by the sea or a river, but if there is no natural water body nearby, even a bath will do!
You will want to gather paper or leaves to make a boat; a small tea-Light candle; a gift to Yemaya, like a pearl, a seashell, or something silver; and matches.
Ahead of time, think about your wish and clearly state it in your mind. Now proceed to make your little boat. Write your wishes on the boat, or draw symbols upon it representing those desires.
Place the candle inside but be careful you won’t burn the boat when it’s time to light it. Carry the boat down to the water. Have your gift to Yemaya with you as well. Say out loud:
Yemaya, Yemaya, Yemaya.
Silvery goddess of the sea, moon blessed.
Goddess of women and wishes, please hear my voice.
Yemaya, I ask you to grant my wish(es) and help me flow like the incoming tide toward my highest good.
I humbly offer a gif to you!
Then throw the gift into the water.
Place your feet in the water. Now tell Yemaya of your wish. Don’t hold back, but keep it clear.
Light the candle and set the boat into the water. Be mindful of your safety, but if possible, place it past the first tiny waves. If you are doing this in a bath, let the boat float for a bit. Say:
I know you hear me. My wish comes to you.
Watch as your boat of wishes travels toward Yemaya. Watch it bobbing up and down over the “waves”, glowing, until she takes it below to the sea with her. If you are floating the boat in a bath, splash it until it sinks!
Express your gratitude, as Yemaya will now grant your wish. Act on any idea that comes to mind.
