Arguments are in the air today. Be mindful of your own words and actions so you do not instigate unnecessary strife. The argument is not going to change any one’s mind, or any of the facts, so best to avoid it if possible. If not, fight fiercely, and defend your boundaries.

Interestingly, Groa is the healer Thor went to after his fight with Hrungnir to have the whetstone Hrungnir threw at him removed from his head. Someone who is attacking you may need you more than they want to admit, and that is the real source of their anger. Be centered in your power and keep good boundaries—you don’t need that kind of nonsense just now, but you are going to have to deal with it and put a stop to it.

Never Mind What They Say
~ Leyla Hanim
Translated from Turkish by Talat S. Halman

Let’s get going,
Start the festivities,
Never mind what they say.

Drink wine
With your loved one,
Never mind what they say.

What do I care
If people approve or disapprove?
God bless my friends,
Never mind what they say.

Leyla, indulge in pleasure
With your lovely friend;
Enjoy yourself in this world,
Never mind what they say.

Draw for October 21, 2016:
Active Influence: Hyndla/The Hermit
Rune: Wan/Ginunngagap
Hidden Influence: Jormundgand/The World

It’s time to withdraw from the world. Completion of something is called for, and the primal void of Ginnungagap contains potential for you to shape to create your next way of being. Figuring out what to complete (and how), and what to begin (and how), requires introspection, self-awareness, and a respite from the distractions of the world and expectations of others. Take time to go within, and make your own decisions for your life.

Hidden Influence: Utgard-Loki/Emperor

Today it’s all about resources—money, time, and energy. You have more than you think of something you feel short of, so take a second look at yourself and your environment, and see what you missed before. If you don’t seem to have exactly what you need, you do have something that will work in its place.

Use your resources wisely and well—distractions of any kind are not going to help, and will turn out to be more expensive than you can afford.
