This week’s Tryptik of Runes includes Ehwaz |ᛖ|, Mannaz|ᛗ|, Raidho |ᚱ| (Merkstave)*.
Ehwaz is coming in hot this Tryptik Casting and asking you to examine the loyalty in your life. What do you think loyalty is; how does it show up in your life; where is it not showing up? Because Mannaz and Raidho (Merkstave) came in afterwards I’m guessing that some of your deepest relationships – or ones you wish were the deepest – are where you’re looking first – as you should. Raisho suggests that this examination may just help you avert a great crisis in the places you feel most – or should – feel most nourished.
On Sunday our week starts out with a Capricorn moon giving us the sure-footed energy we need to examine some tough things. Ehwaz easily lends its energy to you, Witch, to do that work around loyalty, and thereby trust and partnership.
On Monday, the Sea Goat Full Moon (aka the Buck Moon – more Earth!) I’m going to burn old planners to make way for new energy in my ‘work’ life; but you could celebrate the hard work you’ve done to get you where you are as your Full Moon ritual. Raidho says that it’s not a death of that work, but rather a celebration.
On Tuesday celebrate your independence from things that do not serve you and continue that good full-moon energy, says Mannaz with a kinder attitude to self and others. Given the nonsense some people get up to during the July holidays (I’m including Canada Day here), patience is only one part of the formula you’ll need to get through. But fear not, help and assistance is headed your way that day, the M in the Elder Futhark reports.
Mid week we have Mercury in Cancer squaring Chiron in Aries. This is total Raidho Merkstave energy. Long-ago injustices may rear themselves in your thoughts and emotions. Be aware. Don’t be scared. Look for the lesson and move forward because Mannaz bring energy where you can cooperate with your Inner Fetch and Weave that Wyrd so wonderfully. The moon will be in Aquarius, so watch out for being in your head. Instead it’s a great day for dream work to show you paths to deeper healing and a bright future.
On Thor’s Day the moon moves into Pisces and all the dualities in your life may come into play. Since Ehwaz is leading the charge here, it also carries duality energies. Intellect and Emotions need to be in harmony and you’d be smart to pull out all your tools to get that aligned. Given that at 2155 hrs. (pdt) Mercury in Cancer will sextile Uranus in Taurus, we may need to communicate very firmly our emotions, but do so in a more perceptive way that others can actually hear and connect with us. Want to talk deep into the night with that new (or steady) love? This is a good time for it. Take Ehwaz and Mannaz with you and make it sacred.
Freyja’s Day sees a mostly unbothered but assisted Pisces Moon to help us focus on creating plans for our newest dreams. Dream Big; but Take Small Steps, says Merkstave Raidho. That way it’s more fun.
Saturday the Aries moon arrives just in time for lunch – smart Aries 😉 and interaction today may be a bit more fiery – and that can be good, especially when you’re with your steady besties. The wanted change you want in your life starts today by accepting you will receive it.
This week examining loyalty, trust,and partnership is the big focus for you from the Runes. Do so with recognition of Mannaz, which teaches us that the failings of humanity, but also their development to always doing better, especially if they are Witches. Taking some time reminds Raidho to mitigate any rigidity in your life and let small disruptions provide a bit of infused flow into your routine.
