Connecting with nature
Dance with all the dragonflies, connect with all the trees, flutter with the butterflies and buzz with all the bees.

3.The Guardian at the Gate
Passages,openings,gatekeeping
(Excerpt)
This card indicates a passage is being made. Passing through this gate may lead to a physical journey, a mental or emotional one, or a journey of spirit. It always leads to adventure. This gateway will lead to significant change in our lives. The passage through such a gate changes us.
The gate we face may not seem like much, the decision to enter may not seem to be a matter of great moment, but the Guardian at the Gate tells us that something important is happening. It indicates that going forward through that gate is no small thing but something to be approached with awareness and prayerfulness. We are embarking on a new phase of our lives, and there will be no going back once this gate has been passed. That is the kind of transition the Guardian at the Gate leads us to. We may of course ask the Guardian at the Gate for guidance and protection on our journey and we would be wise to do so.
Alternatively it may indicate being asked to help open a gate for someone else, to help provide an opportunity for them. The job of the gatekeeper or gatekeepers assistant is merely to open the gate.
The Guardian at the Gate of Unity facilitates the passage of the song into the hearts of the Singers and aids the passages of humans and faeries into Unity, to be filled by that song when it is their time. Every person, every faery who helped us through an important passage was manifesting the energy of the guardian.

Rune of the Week - Sowilo - sun
Sowilo – “So-iölo” – Literally: “Sun” (Sol) – Esoteric: wholeness, success
Rune of guidance, goal setting and success.
Psi: central nervous system, seat of the soul, revelation, wholeness
Energy: sun-wheel, strengthening the hvel/charka, cosmic energies, motivation, life-giving force, action
Mundane: sunlight, fire, meeting of goals, confidence, taking action
Divinations: Guidance, hope, success, goals, honor, life purpose, faith
Governs:
Transmutation of thought into energy for action
Activating highest values
Strengthening of psychic centers (hvel aka Chakras)
Increase in spiritual will and optimal health
Guidance through the pathways,
Victory and success through individual will
My Notes:
It is the rune of the sun. It is the counter-force to cosmic ice in the rune Isa. Sowilo represents the force of fire in the physical and mental world. It promotes invigoration, dedication, optimism and persistence in any endeavor. It will ward against the harmful opinions of others to keep the heart focused on its purpose.
The hvel (Old Norse term equivalent to the Sanskrit word chakra) are the spinning energy wheels in your body. They look like miniature suns to the psychic eye. By increasing the capacity of the hvel to handle greater flow of megin energy leads to optimum health levels and advanced psychic capabilities.
The ancient mystics were intuitively aware that the sun provides this planetary system and its life forms with many diverse cosmic energies necessary for the evolution of the life force, and indeed, it is the power of the sun (and stars) that encompasses the dynamic energies inherent in all things within its system, as once it was all being forced within its unfathomably hot furnace. Sowilo exposes matters to the clear light of day and strikes suddenly like lightning in a controlled and centered burst of overwhelming, massive action.
Sowilo contains the ancient code of honour. These are the common sense guidelines and morality that holds the individual to ‘do the right thing’. Sowilo is also the rune of success and victory, and is therefor associated with the next rune in the order, Tiwaz. It gives us the power to win and connects us with revelations concerning our life’s purpose, and insight into actions that will guide us in our endeavors. The science of Neuro-Linguistic Programming has a lot to offer in terms of insight and mastery of this rune, as does the psychological study of success.
