The Weekly Spiritual Reading is here! 😄
This week's External Influence is the Wolf Spirit Guide. When the Wolf appears, it is a signal to let go of what no longer serves you in a positive way and to allow yourself to reconnect or lean on your community when needed. You aren't alone. Find balance in structure such as that found in social groups or in a routine or ritual. This need for ritual and structure shows us how to maintain freedom with discipline. Find comfort in this familiarity and allow that comfort to give you the strength you need. The wolf is considered to be one of the strongest signs of a wild spirit, being seen as the spirit of the unspoiled wilderness. Give yourself the time and space to be outside. Go for a hike. Sit on the porch to relax. Be out in the air and wind, touch the grass, and feel yourself reconnect with the world around you. We are not apart from nature, but a member of it's wide ranging creatures and environments. The Wolf guide can remind us to recharge this wild, yet disciplined part of ourselves and find our niche. Rebuild your connections with the world and your community.

This week's Rune is Algiz! Symbolized by the branches of a tree or the arcs of an Elk's antlers, this rune is known as the protective rune. It's imagery heralds a time or place of refuge and safety brought about in connection with the divine and the spirit of humanity evolving into divinity. Agliz is used when we are working to complete a goal with a successful outcome or when we wish for protection and grounding. It will aid in defending you from harm. It may be beneficial for this coming time to connect with symbolism containing the three-fold or nine-fold count. In this way, you may find yourself closer to the divine within and around us. Spend time working on communicating with the elements you are closest to. This could include meditation in solitude, in nature, or in activity meant to activate fulfillment in connection to elements such as running or swimming. Agliz is here to remind us and prove to us that we are protected and defended against negativity or enemies. Evolution and safety are here for you this week. Now is a time when you are gaining your wings and growing as a person. It may feel vulnerable, but know that this time of growth includes a sanctuary in which you can evolve upward in spirit and body.

In the Internal Influence position, we see the spirit guide Kestrel. This small, but powerful raptor is known for it's strength, fearlessness, and tenacity. This guide comes to us when we need to view our life from a new perspective in order to gain needed information. Consider your future goals and inner needs carefully. Take time by yourself this week to mull things over, but be careful if you are spending too much time alone. The kestrel guide reminds us to analyze and think carefully as we choose the perfect moment to make our moves. Fully commit and then move gracefully to reach your goals. Strength comes from intelligence, decisive thought and actions. Use your mental abilities to the best you can and use every opportunity you can to learn. This week, soak in all the information that you can in order to help yourself advance and grow into the best version of yourself that you can. Remind yourself that being ignorant is not wrong. Remaining ignorant is what will cause stagnation. Every opportunity is a chance to learn, adapt, and grow. This week is a chance to move forward and allow yourself to advance into a happier and more independent version of yourself. By allowing yourself to learn, to grow stronger, and act with grace, you will allow yourself a chance to become stronger as a singular person. In this way, you will also become stronger within your environment and social groups.
