Meaning:

This the rune of inheritance of wealth and the greater gift, “knowledge”. At the core of this rune is the term and understanding estate, physical property. The property that belonged to no man (or woman) but yourself. This can also relate to that space in your heart and mind that can never be influenced by outside forces. The fortress of moral values where you know what is right, where righteousness lives. Where the existence of good exists for the sole purpose of good. This is the fertility of your mind that all your outer world is rooted.

On the physical plane this rune relates to your roots ancestral birth place or your current home. But on the deeper level goes to the ancestral beliefs you were raised. If you're not fulfilling your dreams, your ancestral beliefs maybe unfertile. Taking a brief period of time to examine what your thinking is rooted in may harvest a lifetime of happiness. This a time to honor your ancestral past, give thanks for all that you have received, keep what works for the greater good, and release that which no longer works.

Meditation:

Take a deep breath, relax and allow yourself to retreat to deep inside yourself.

Think of the word peace and then the term sovereign. Sovereignty is the freedom from external control. Are you now free from the parental controls of your childhood? Does your sovereignty, freedom from external controls, require you to be controlling of others?

Take another deep breath and release any stagnation that you may find, calling on Odin and Frigg to assist you in receiving all that is yours..
