The Weekly Spiritual Reading is here! 😄

This week's External Influence is the Alligator Spirit Guide. When this guide appears, it is often a suggestion to look towards the intellectual part of your mind. The Alligator reminds us to dig deep for knowledge, gathering all information from multiple sides of a situation before passing judgement. It may have been a rough period in your life recently, but know that the next stages are here and a time of renewal will begin. Prepare for this by preparing yourself. Take time to honor your ancestors and the vast wealth of experience you can find by looking into the past. Use this to fuel your forward motion. The Alligator guide is a strong symbol of initiation and motherhood. Representing growth, wisdom, and new beginnings. This week will provide a fertile week of opportunity for you, so be sure to open your mind and prepare your physical environment to take advantage of the week ahead of you.

This week's Rune is Raidho! It is symbolized as being a solar chariot carrying the sun across the sky. This connects with it's representation of being the Rune of travel, flow, movement, and progression. By drawing from the powers of Raidho, we can find solace in cycles and rhythms. Just like with the movement of the wheel, life turns in patterns and flows that we can tap into such as the passing of days or the path of the sun. It connects the eight major festivals of the year and gains a symbolism for ritual or ceremonial magic by aiding in the flow of energy from one place to another. While progression can be measured by the phases of the moon as well, Raidho connects specifically with patterns of the flow associated with solar powers rather than lunar ones. Drawing from the origin of it's name, this Rune deal with counsel and advice. Urging chivalrous actions. Raidho will aid you in moving energy to a specific place or in completing journeys. Use this Rune when you need to connect with the flow of life or to expand your thought process. Allow yourself to dance and move as a way to engage in the passing of one moment to the next. Work hard so that you will come to best possible outcome of your journey with the understanding that the outcome is not an end, but a beginning to a new transformation. Keep in mind that each cycle exists within a larger cycle and that by keeper a larger picture in your mind, you will decrease any chance of circling without direction. Enjoy the process of movement physically, mentally, and spiritually.

In the Internal Influence, we see the Sun Bear. This animal often shows us a duality of sides. Upbeat, positive, and outgoing, those that feel this spirit guide can also often be serious, determined, and overly hard-working. It is time for you to work on a balance of your inner self. Something is out of sync and healing must happen to aid in becoming balanced once more. Don't be afraid to let yourself get lost in your thoughts and work. Explore your interests in solitude and allow your thoughts to go deep within. It is important for you to get this recharge of your inner self for the times when you are being outgoing and working with others. Keep a set of differently sized goals to work towards so you do not feel like you are floating without a purpose. You may be called on to take a leadership role and it will be important to take those moments in solitude to recharge so that your hard work does not over tax you. Show your gifts and love by working to positively influence the world around you through teaching others as well as through your own personal work.
