Womanrunes: The Moon and Star. Rune of Faith. Inspiration, Truth, and Psychic Healing.
Hold to the hope. Hold to the vision. Hold to the healing. Hold to the vigil kept by your heart.
What do you have faith in? What does faith mean anyway?
What do you know to be true? Where do you find inspiration and sacred calling?
What fire is waiting to be lit within your own breast, your own home, your own community?
What do you have to share? What do you have to say?
Sing about it. Dance about it. Tell about it.
Engage in deep talk. Deep thought. Deep commitment. Deep change. Deep healing.
This is a stone of uncovering. Of revealing. A stone of tapping in to that which already is, to that which you already are. To the potential that waits in your heart to bloom. To the passion that waits in your throat to be loosed. For the fire of creativity that swirls in your belly to be freed. Stone of inspiration. Stone of igniting.
Have faith in your own deep purpose, your own deep potential, your own deep calling, your own deep longing. Be still. Place your hand on your heart and listen. The answers wait within.
The sun rises, the earth turns, the moon bathes the world, the tides lap the shore. We are carried by a great wind across the sky. We are a vital thread in the weaving of Life. An intricate and interesting part of a magnificent tapestry of Being in which it becomes difficult to distinguish weaver, web, and thread, so closely are they wound together.
After you’ve spent time in your own heart space, open your eyes. Take a look around, gaze at this bright, beautiful, wonderful world. Looks at the smiles of those you love. Look at the memories that have carved space in your heart. Feel what comes welling up out of you. What must be said. This is your truth. This is your inspiration. This is your healing. It is also your gift.
May the moon and stars always light your way, for you carry stardust in your bones, and some part of you will soar on the wings of time forever.

Update: this project evolved into a real book!
The first post in my Womanrunes series is available here and all others here. The runes and the names of them come from Shekhinah Mountainwater’s Womanrunes system for which there are no written interpretations available other than the name and one word meanings. I’m engaging in a semi-daily practice of drawing one and then going down to the woods with it to see what it “tells” me–basically, creating what I wish I had, which is a more developed interpretation of the meaning of each womanrunestone.
