I made some garden bindrunes for both greenhouses. On one side is a witch rune for harvest. On the other is a bindrune that combines the energies of growth and fertility. Inguz (the seed) surrounds Uruz (strength) that sends growth energy downward into the earth, Jera for transformation, and Fehu to encourage growth and success. I planted herbs in the raised beds in the herb house, and vegetables out in the other greenhouse yesterday. I smudged both areas with nag champa incense and decided to sit down at the table and cast some runes to see what they had to tell me today. Laguz sits in the significator position followed by Gebo, Isa and Sowilo in the lower landscape spread – all Elemental Water runes except for Sowilo, a Fire Element rune.

Significators provide a premise or focus for a runecasting. They’re used in Tarot spreads as well. Laguz represents strong female energy, or a strong woman. As the rune of sorcery and the occult, Laguz gathers energy together for magickal workings emphasizing intuition and clairsentience. Its mutable energy flows freely, gathering and increasing energies for use by the will.

Gebo on the left creates a link between the physical and nonphysical realms. It emphasizes maintaining balance and equilibrium in both realms. It’s the energy of bonding and partnership and represents balanced energy exchange.

Isa is the stillpoint and represents the static realm. Inner workings are favored with this rune, particularly the development of the will. A binding rune, Isa brings situations to a standstill, and binds unwanted energy or behavior. In a sense, it’s our focus point, our alignment with our Higher Self as an extension of Source.

Sowilo sits in the final position representing the Higher Self. As the only Fire Element rune in the casting, Sowilo strengthens magickal will, supports self-confidence and success, and illuminates the way. It’s the rune of the will and increases spiritual energy.

Our power lies in our nonresistance, and our living in the now. Laguz encourages us to go with the flow and to listen to our inner voice. We are creative beings, extensions of loving Source Energy in this physical realm. Laguz suggests that as we continue to remain focused on what’s in front of us, we are better able to stay in alignment with the Source within and creativity will flow freely. The alternative is to become caught up in the past. The density of form pulls us away from our true reality as beings of light. The landscape spread serves as a road map to achieve that flow.

Gebo, Isa and Sowilo blend together balanced energy exchange with increased will. Remaining aligned with our Higher Self, we experience the loving energy from Source, letting that guide our way instead of responding with judgment to whatever we happen to see around us. Alignment with our Higher Self keeps us safely away from the drama around us because we no longer see it the same way. We no longer judge others, seeing them instead as the same extension of Source that we are. Not everyone is in the same place in their process of awakening. Some become caught up in the illusory world around them to the point that they forget who they really are, so alignment for them isn’t even a relevant concept. Alignment with what, again? The last thing anyone should do at that point is judge them. All that does is serve to keep them in the place of your choosing because after all, it’s your judgment of them that’s the issue. We always seem to forget that fact and put the blame for the choice we make to judge on our intended victim. Then we make it worse by convincing ourselves that we’re actually trying to help them with our words of wisdom. There’s nothing creative happening at that point. Nothing lasting is created, unless it’s the place you’ve put that person, because that seems to be a forever thing at times. The only thing that’s truly happening is the past is being viewed for the umpteenth time, and no one really feels anything but emptiness because none of it is real. The only thing that’s real is that we’re all one with each other in Source. Anything else is part of the agreement we make to come here and add to our collective knowledge. It’s about balanced energy. Light versus dark does NOT equate with good versus bad. It’s just light and not light. It lives in balance. That balance is negatively affected when we judge anything or anyone. Judge less, flow more. Judge less, love more.

In a sense, we’re partners here in this life. All of us. Can you imagine what could happen if we all stayed in the flow of Source? Or at least didn’t judge those who didn’t remember to do so? Negative energy goes nowhere if it finds no purchase. Stay aligned in the flow of Source and negative energy will find no home with you. And it makes dealing with energy vampires far more simple than does shielding. The higher your vibration, the energy doesn’t attach to you. Besides, when your vibration is high, you won’t experience the person that way. It won’t even occur to you to judge them.

We’re here to create. With each other. I know we don’t always want to, but it is what it is. I put the energies together in a bindrune if that helps..
