Think of 3 small steps: How could you raise your energy? Consider implementing them, share the steps and how you could make these improvements
I think it is important to focus on the three main branches we have seen during the curse: focus my attention, increase my energy and pass the runic circle of power. I decided to weave these 3 into a single flowing morning rite (I absolutely love creating rituals), therefore here’s my plan:
I begin standing at the threshold of my day — feet grounded, spine tall, eyes soft. I imagine the runic circle faintly glowing around me. First, I choose one rune from my bag to be my day’s anchor, see its shape sharpen in my mind, letting all other thoughts dissolve and keeping only the rune’s presence, so my mind becomes clean.
Afterwards, I draw a deep breath from the soles of my feet to the crown of my head. At the peak, I clench my fists and see the rune I draw from the bag blazing in my chest. I exhale sharply, releasing a silent pulse of light through my body. I repeat three times, feeling my blood wake and my spine hum.
Finally, I take 24 slow, deliberate steps — one for each rune in the circle. With each step, I silently name the rune and imagine leaving its mark glowing on the ground. By the final step, the circle is complete, and I feel it close around me like a protective ring.
For sealing, I place my hands over my heart and whisper: “The circle turns, the circle burns, the circle lives in me.” I open my eyes fully, stepping into the day with clarity, vitality, and the runes walking at my side, focusing my energy throughout the day on the rune I draw at the beginning.
The idea is for the ritual to be short enough to greet the day without rush but layered enough to feel like stepping into my own will, faith and growth.
PS: I did my first day already. Funny enough, I got Thurisaz (ᚦ) which is reminding me to see and settle my own giants just like Thor would.
