Family

There are two aspects to this Rune, the first and more obvious is our connection to and the importance of family. The second is an aspect of separation.  We have learned who we are, and how to behave from our families and past generations of our families. We inherit aspects of self from our families. Good and bad it comes with the package.

Now it is time to separate from learned behaviour that is hampering progress. Old ways and beliefs need to be changed. It is time to step beyond the barriers of conditioning and leave outdated and harmful beliefs and patterns behind.  There could be feelings of separation and loss regarding such changes. As new beliefs and new behaviour have to replace the old, there will be a temporary feeling of emptiness and uncertainty.
