The RUNE Othila - The RUNE of SEPARATION

A very dear friend of mine (I’ll call Missy, for anonymity purposes) made a conscious decision to choose a daily RUNE as a way of getting a “heads up” at the beginning of each day. I had done several readings for her in the past which resulted in more clarity in her decision-making processes as well as understanding herself and her relationships with friends and work colleagues. I thought this decision of choosing a daily RUNE was an excellent one for her and encouraged her to call or email me anytime if she had any questions.

One day last week Missy emailed me about her chosen daily RUNE, Othila, and told me that she had chosen this several times in the course of a week and was stumped as to what this could mean.

The RUNE Othila is one of the Cycle Runes. Among other things, this RUNE represents a time of separating paths; a radical severance from outmoded ways and relationships with the Self and how you live your life. Whether it is your attachment to the work you do or even to your beliefs about your own nature, the separation called for now will free you to become more truly who you are.

Keeping in mind what this RUNE represents, I reminded Missy that when we feel the need or urge to separate ourselves from what we are used to, it is downright scary! AND it also opens up a lot of questions and the need to take a very close look at ourselves. I suggested that, without taking a lot of time to think about it, she look at what pops into her mind when she thinks of CHANGE and look at that from all different directions and see: what pushes her buttons? what takes her breath away? what makes her feel a palpitation in her chest? What brings on tears and/or anxiety? What makes her smile? I KNEW in my heart, soul, and mind that Missy was making sacrifices in her life regarding working at what she HAD TO DO to support herself financially as opposed to doing what she WANTED TO DO, but I didn’t want to influence her by cluing her in to this before she analyzed the situation herself. I told her to “cogitate” this for a while and get back to me so we could explore further .

The next evening I received an email from Missy saying that she wanted to share something that had happened to her that morning. After she had received my response/questions/suggestions that I had sent to her, she went to work and was confronted by her supervisor that she (Missy) would have to work the closing shift on July 4th. She immediately responded with explatives that she had already made plans, but was informed that there was no one else to cover the shift, and she was “it”!. Missy was “bummed the whole day, frustrated and discouraged”.

Here is an excerpt (reprinted with HER permission) of the email she sent me.
This morning I woke up tired and drained. I took the dog out for a walk on a road that is dirt and skirts the desert, so we see a lot of wild life. Also along this road there are older homes with horse property. As we were walking I notice on one of the side streets a horse and buggy coming towards us, just walking. So I wait, cause I want to see the horse. As they got nearer, I recognize the horse and driver. I had met them a few months ago at a competition I had been invited to. I was so excited to see them; we chatted for a little while and then we continued our separate ways. Walking the rest of the way home, I remembered the RUNE of Separation. The job right now represents a pay check but I knew what really lifted my heart and spirit was experiencing moments like I had just experienced. My whole mind set has shifted, I am on cloud 9 because I know that being around animals and nature is my calling! Whatever “Separation” wants to bring my way, BRING IT ON!

This is a great example of how a single RUNE can help open up areas of thinking that you may have been feeling blockages, frustration, lack of clarity. Thanks for sharing this with us, Missy. You ARE an inspiration!
