Your question What would the bravest version of me do today?

The spread

  1. What is rooted Isa Stillness, ice and the pause that preserves. What to avoid: Waiting as an avoidance strategy.
  2. What is rising Thurisaz A gate and a thorn. The obstacle that is also the way through. What to avoid: Reacting to provocation on reflex.
  3. What must be cut Algiz Protection, and the instinct to raise an arm. What to avoid: Guarding something that is not under threat.

Under the sky over Washington, D.C., the runes fall close together, which suggests the week's problems share one root.

Thurisaz in the middle is a rune of stillness: not a pause before action, but the action itself.

The closing rune warns about a decision made in the first hour of the morning, when you are still generous.
