Second entry
At the June 19th devination, the omens were: Past: Quiert (apple) Things were pretty good in the past.
Present: Tinne (holly) right now we should strive for balance, harmony and moderation.
Future: Straiph (blackthorn) Fate, that which cannot be avoided.
Extra rune: Ailm (pine) Awareness, take the long view, keep your eye on the big picture.
On June 20th: Past: Coll (hazel) Insiration, bright ideas
Present: Muin (vine) weaving, that which has gone before weave the fabric of tomorrow
Future: Straiph. Same as above
On Aug 1st (ish): Past: Aspen, Success. The aspect of our past our deities are drawing to our attention is the successes that have been ours.
Present: Pine, Farsightedness. Our deities are indicating our present awareness of the significance of taking the long view.
Future: Rowan, Sight. there is the suggestion that good as it is to keep in mind the long term, we do well to be conscious of what is at our feet.
Now, what do these have to do with my visions-dreams? I've shortened and mildly altered the readings given by Michael McKenny to suit my own interpretation, but it's not far from his. I just have the visions to supplement the readings.
What I think these are all saying is that the future is going to be quite a bit harder than the past. I blame Bush. I think that as we continue to pollute and hate and kill, the Earth is going to get harder and harder to live on. Let's face it, if we were your kids, you'd throw us the hell out and tell us not to come back til we've learned some respect.
I think it's a warning that the Gods are starting to take an active interest in the world again, and they won't be happy with everyone. So it's time to respect the Earth and the Gods, be a little more careful to recycle, learn some pre-industrial skills: hand sewing, gardening, weaving.... they just might come in handy.
