This week I'll be using the Shadowscapes book and deck set published by Llewellyn. The artwork was created by Stephanie Pui-Mun Law and the book was written by Barbara Moore. I'll also be drawing from a set of Cedar Runes, using the book The Serpent and the Eagle by Chris Travers as an accompanying text. Today's draws are Nine of Pentacles and Laguz:
We must use time as a tool, not as a couch. –John F. Kennedy
Time well spent leads to a life well lived. Disciplined effort can bring fruitful results: time for the arts, hobbies, cultural or social activities and enjoying nature. Not that I'd stick with a job that was unethical or spirit crushing, but I've always thought of the jobs I've held as a means to an end. They paid the bills, and if they offered friendship or enjoyment, that was an added bonus. Like the snail shell that serves as this fairy's piano seat, working was a way to fund time for slowing down to do what I loved. The rune Laguz literally means 'water,' a symbol of nourishment, transport, livelihood and ritual for the Norse. Lakes and the sea were appreciated for their gifts, but also respected because of their dangers. This rune represents possibilities that are offered if we are willing to heed and follow through with what is asked of us. Sounds a bit like employment.
