Draw for January 31, 2017
Active Influence: Fenris/The Devil
Rune: Perthro/Chance
Hidden Influence: Loki, Angrboda & Sigyn/The Lovers
That which has been hiding in the darkness comes into the light. And there’s rather a lot of it. And you must deal with it.
Stop acting from preconceived notions. You must see things as they really are in order to deal with them as they really are. I once did a round of shadow work under the guidance of an extremely wise woman who helped me understand that shadows are always larger than the actual monsters. When you turn on the light to fill the room, you see that the giant monster shadow on the wall comes from a 12″ tall monster toy. It’s much easier to deal with the toy than the shadow.
Take a chance, shine the light, see what you’re really up against. It may be Gorjira himself, or it may be a Gojira doll. But until you know what you’re actually dealing with, you won’t be able to make progress.
The Lovers encourages you to find new approaches, to think “both/and” rather than “either/or”. You can’t have everything (where would you put it?), but you can have some of A and some of B, which together is better than all of either.
Perthro tells you shake the dice cup, and take a chance. You don’t know what will happen if you take action, but honestly, you don’t know what will happen if you don’t take action, either. Change is the only constant, so make some decisions and make some effort on your own behalf.
