Today I face an unusual challenge in that I am participating in two pretty important meetings. First, I am having lunch with my partners other SO, and second, she is meeting Jo and the kids for the first time in an ‘intentional’ way. Not just in passing or by ‘googling’ a profile, but with the intent of actually sitting down and participating in each others lives, outside of just *us*. I know all parties are a little nervous (ok, a lot) about this. It is hard not to worry about the outcome of such important matters as the weaving together of two separate lives into one greater whole.

About a month ago I changed my habit of casting a three Rune spread in favor of just one ‘Rune of the day’. It has been interesting with the message almost *always* being relevant to the undercurrents of my life. Today I received Odin; the Blank Rune, the ‘unknowable’.

Blank is the end, blank the beginning. This is the Rune of total trust and should be taken as exciting evidence of your most immediate contact with your own true destiny which time and again, rises like the phoenix from the ashes of what we call fate.

The Blank Rune can portend a death. But the death is usually symbolic, and may relate to any part of your life as you are living it now. Relinquishing control is the ultimate challenge for the Spiritual Warrior.

Here the Unknowable informs you that it is in motion in your life. In that blankness is held undiluted potential. At the same time pregnant and empty, it comprehends the totality of being, all that is to be actualized.

Drawing the Blank Rune brings to the surface our deepest fears: Will I fail? Will I be abandoned? Will it all be taken away? And yet our highest good, our truest possibilities and all our fertile dreams are held within that blankness.

Willingness and permitting are what this Rune requires, for how can you exercise control over what is not yet in form? This Rune calls for no less an act of courage than the empty-handed leap into the void. Drawing it is a direct test of Faith.

In one sense, the Blank Rune represents the path of karma- the sum total of what you have done and the limits on what you are and will become. At the same time, this Rune teaches that the very debts of old karma shift and evolve as you shift and evolve. Nothing is predestined; there is nothing that cannot be avoided. And if, indeed, there are “matters hidden by the gods,” you need only remember: What beckons is the creative power of the unknown.

Whenever you draw the Blank Rune, take heart: Know that the work of self-change is progressing in your life. ~ from the Book of Runes

I stand naked and truly alive before the SuperUnknown…
