The rune of the day today is Kenaz. As a new bit of information this rune is part of one of the Ættirs in the Elder Futhark Rune. It belongs to Frey's Ætt which pertains to fertility and creation. In that light, Kenaz adds a layer of creativity, imagination, and productiveness that goes deeper than merely illumination and the torch. If you consider how light, and shadows, has been used to provide entertainment to the masses for centuries. With that understanding, let's dive further into this rune.
In love, creativity, imagination, and productiveness are necessary. Whether in a budding romance or a long-lasting one, these attributes help to keep a relationship exciting and vibrant. Sometimes it's as simple as spontaneously buying a gift or sending a sweet message. Other times it may be more complex with more details to convey the emotion behind the loving gesture. Regardless, a healthy, long lasting relationship will create, imagine, and produce throughout it's time.
For career, Kenaz focuses on illumination yes, but also creativity. Sometimes you have to find creative solutions to issues. From being a retail or restaurant worker all the way up to CEO's of successful companies, there are solutions that require more thought, more imagination, and more out there decisions to make a situation more productive or profitable. Sometimes it's a matter of what is done outside of your work environment to endure a work dilemma.
With life, there is definitely a need to keep things fun. Maybe you like to read or write. Maybe you like to do pottery or blow glass. Maybe you like to play games or run games. Regardless of how you find creative fun, it is necessary to create it for the purpose of longevity. Being able to play even when entering the golden years of life has been the secret behind many centurions. Finding that fun and using imagination and creativity help produce a life worth living.
As is the norm, we will transition now over to the tarot spread of the day.
Past - Reversed The Magician
Present - Reversed Ace of Pentacles
Future - Queen of Wands
Obstacle - Reversed Nine of Swords
Solution - Reversed Strength
The past represents a lack of mental clarity or unused talents/abilities. The present acknowledges lost opportunities or missed chances. The future encourages courage and determination. The obstacle notes a need to release worry. The solution wants raw emotions.
Now, together, these five are telling a story that says you've left abilities on the table that may have cost you an opportunity while the outcome could yet be obtained through courage and determination. If you struggle to release worry, tap into your raw emotions and acknowledge them. Avoid making those raw emotions anyone else's problem or it may backfire on you.
With the rune, the total message is that you need to forget the past, focus on the present obstacle, find creative outlets using your abilities to move forward by feeling your feelings and releasing them. This is a personal journey, so be careful to make sure that any feelings you release, you do so through creativity.
Until tomorrow ~ Solace
