Rune: Nauthiz
#5 in the Cycle of Initiation indicating Constraint, Necessity, Pain
Ætt: Heimdall
Aspect: Brightstave
The necessity of dealing with severe constraint is the lesson of Nauthiz. The positive aspects of this Rune represent the limitations we directly cause ourselves. Its negative side attracts limitations from those around us. Both can be equally difficult to handle.
The role of Nauthiz is to identify our 'shadow', our dark or repressed side, areas where growth has been stunted, resulting in weaknesses that we project onto others. Don't take this world personally, this Rune is saying. Work with the shadow; examine what it is inside you that magnetizes misfortune into your life. When at last you can look upon Nauthiz with a smile, you will recognize the troubles, denials and setbacks of life as your teachers, guides and allies.
The need for restraint is unquestionable here. Drawing this Rune indicates that there will be holdups, reasons to reconsider your plans carefully. There is work to be done on your self. So take it on with good will and show perseverance.
This is a time to pay off old debts, to restore, if not harmony, at least balance. So mend, restore, and redress: when fishermen can't go to sea they repair nets. Let the constraints of this time serve you in righting your relationship to your Self. Be mindful that rectification comes before progress. And once again, consider the uses of adversity.
