The Weekly Rune – Ingwaz-Othala

Ingwaz (carved reindeer antler slice) is the half-month rune through 29 May, at which point Othala moves to the fore through 14 June. Perthro is the intuitive rune, and Ehwaz indicates Wrath’s perspective. The spirits of place anchoring the runes this week are Mink Femur with element Acid, in the direction of West (Vestri), in the season of Autumn (tree button). Read right to left is Othala above, Ingwaz below, Perthro, then Ehwaz.

Moving into Othala early in the week shifts our focus from a very high, and likely exciting place, to one that's a bit more subdued and somber. In my vernacular, Othala is the rune of eldering, and in American settler culture, that's a challenging thing to do. Yet, it's also the greatest demand of our lives.
