The Hail: Divinatory message, Nov 17th, 2015

"After the hail
Baffled, the jungle man
Steps into the cold
Laid under his feet
Till the shiver
Slithers upto his core
Till he reckon
What he is seeking"
-Iyah

'The storm' is indicating chaos in your life. There has been disappointment and a sense of betrayal that haunts your thoughts these days. Strangely, it isn't pain, but confusion. You, on one hand, feel detached from yourself, and on the other, are being nudged to go inwards, for this is a storm of big changes and events. Step back and look at it. Keep your judgement aside and see. Is this storm not telling you to seek you true, authentic, innermost self?

Enough of being what is required of you, you now yearn to be that what you naturally are. You don't like being 'told' anymore. You like to dream and wish and do. Times are calling for you to see your innermost desires. What do you want your life to be for the rest of the life? Think. Think without judging. That will connect you to your inner self.

Move to that place in your life where you need to go.

'The man' indicates identity.
Perhaps you are facing options you never knew, existed. Do they baffle you? Does the fact that it baffles you, baffles you?
Options may be many, but there is one answer: your heart's true desire.

Once again this rune highlights the importance of 'connecting with self'. Choose from a place of depth and desire and not from pure logic. Avoid people and places that make you compromise who you truly are.

Lots of love,
-Iyah

Wishful thinking

Almost everyone tells that a wish indicates a weakness, a nick through which our energy escapes. They say that a wish implies we are bound to something.  All this erroneously makes some spiritual people think that wishing is evil....

We are bound to something ,
Our wishes indicate
Are they evil
For us, a terrible fate?
Should we all then
Just sit and accept
That what we stumble upon
And forget all quest?
Like stagnant water,
should we then become?
Aimless and passive
Free and such some?
But stagnant waters
Also breed filth and disease
Do barely any good
Just sit with ease.
True it also breeds
Many lotuses pure
Exalted flowers lovely
That many fairies, lure.

But no, a wish is not evil
If made from a place of love
For beings all and all of world
Enveloping all from above

A wish derived from a longing true
Not from greed or with jealous hue
With focus right and clarity of mind
With love for all and a heart that's kind
With selfless support to beings rest
Without wondering if that's for your own best
With faith undeterred that you are looked after
Just as much as you are offering others laughter
And with a knowing that while at times
You need to assert your skills, at times
You need to learn and need to teach
Together we can go beyond our own reach

A wish that is thus responsibly made,
Definitely has a better, beautiful fate

So go and do your wishful thinking.
Do no harm ever and to a sinking
Friend or foe, alike, offer a helping hand
Without a camel, no man ever trod the sand.

Love,
Iyah
