Mannaz - The Self (reversed)

The starting point is the Self. Its essence is water. Only clarity, willingness to change, is effective now. A correct relationship to youself is primary, for from it flow all possible correct relationships with others and with the Divine.

If you feel you are blocked, this Rune urges you to begin by being clear with yourself - facing up, admitting, releasing, whatever it takes. Do not turn to others now, but look inside, in silence, for the enemy of your progress. No matter what area of your life seems to be blocked, stop and reconsider. You will recognize the outer “enemy” as but a reflection of what you have not, until now, been able or willing to recognize as coming from within.

Above all do not give youself airs. Breaking the momentum of past habits is the challenge here: In the life of the Spirit you are always at the beginning.
