The Weekly Spiritual Reading is here! 😄

Today's External Influence is the Spider Spirit Guide! When this guide appears, it means that this week is going to provide you with all of the creative opportunities you could wish. Dive headfirst into the opportunities for creative growth that have opened up this week. Whether this is painting, writing, weaving, or more, allow yourself to fall into the flow of creation that has come. Pull away from any toxic behaviors that you have fallen into or that others have displayed. It is time to weave your own story. Step away from the negative and breathe deep of the wisdom and creation that you have within. Allow yourself to be taught, to learn, and to expand you awareness and abilities. This week will remind you that the darkness is not a negative, but a place of calm and peaceful quiet in which to nurture positive growth. Look to your ancestors to learn from where we have come and how this links to our future and our community.

The week's Rune is Kenaz! Kenaz is a personal favorite of mine. It is the flaming torch of illumination and knowledge. Kenaz is the guiding light and the inner fire within. It is this inner passion that fuels our research, our hobbies, and our loves. The name Kenaz originates from the old Norse word 'kenna' meaning 'to perceive'. Kenaz is the rune of mind and spirit, the inner fire of a spiritual being with light. It is also represented by the forge, by sacrifice, and the hearth. It is the controlled fire which aids us in creation. Kenaz gives us the ability and inspiration to create. It is root of emotional creativity and creation. The power and light is within you! At the same time, Kenaz also represents the fire of passionate love and interaction between polarities. It can aid us in understanding and enhancing relationships not just romantic, but also with our communities and family. Remember the passion of fire is within your soul and can bring about manifestation and transformation. Express yourself and use this controlled inner fire to create. This is the perfect rune for artists, writers, musicians, or any individuals who use their inner passion to create. Use the surge of energy in the world this week to burst forth with your resilience, intelligence, and ability to create.

This week's Internal Influence card is seen as the Horse spirit guide. Although this week will be a test to figure out a new routine or to balance social engagements, know that you are strong and that the wild spirit within you is shown when the horse appears! The horse spirit guide is a sign to release the bindings that have been holding you back! Stop doubting. Stop restraining yourself due to your fear. You have much more strength than you believe. Work on combining this power with gentle patience and compassion in order to overcome any ordeal you may feel within you. The horse is known for it's connections to freedom and travel. It was a key component in the spread of civilization and reminds us of both the wild abandon of a free spirit as well as the strength of a hardworking ethic. It is ok to develop and change over time. Allow your mind to travel and grow as you experience this week. It is ok to let go and move forward to advance physically and mentally. In doing so, you may open up abilities such as clairvoyance or the ability to see magic and the light in others. If can be intimidating to grow, but it will only aid you in becoming the best of who you really are.
