Geez, don’t Rune your week!

Algiz reversed encourages us to take our time, even if we may be late, in order to set the pace for a positive day, resulting in more positive outcomes.

Who would have thought that you could use a letter from an old Scandinavian alphabet, to guide you in your daily living habits?

Algiz (pronounced: algeez) represents the letter Z in the Elder Futhark origin of runes (Runes are letters of the Germanic alphabet thought to originate in Scandinavia) dated from the 3-7 centuries. The Elder Futhark consists of 24 runes, broken into three groups of eight known as Aett (a division of the runic alphabet). Today, runes are used as a diving tool similar to the tarot for example.

Algiz upright, (the rune was drawn reversed) symbolizes protection. Reversed, this rune reminds us that exercising awareness and reading the red-light signs; not just the literal red lights we obey on the road… is essential to preventing not only accidents on the road, but also the mistakes we might make by not paying more attention!

So the times when we’re driving to work in a hurry, our foot may get heavy on the gas pedal, and too light on the brakes! This is when accidents occur. When we brake just on time, we are saved and protected from harm. But when we are not aware and stubborn in getting there, well… we are unprotected and therefore cause harm to ourselves and others.

Algiz reversed encourages us to take our time, even if we may be late, in order to set the pace for a positive day, resulting in more positive outcomes. We may even run into others’, who have negative intentions toward us, and we may miss the signs – do you have paper trail to cover your tail? Did you lock your door and set your alarm before you left the house? Did you leave your purse in obvious view of those who don’t have the decency to return it to you, knowing it belongs to you?

The key to protecting yourself and those you love is awareness. Take care to be careful, lest you get clipped by the un-reputable! So this week folks, stay safe by being self-aware, and please… drive with care… fireworks will be flying soon, and so will our determination to have fun!

RMSAAM wishes you a wonderful and successful week!
