"Mysteries of the Universe envelope us more frequently in these days of illumination and connectedness. Recently, as I unpacked my bag of Celtic runes, I drew one with no particular question in mind. I drew the blank rune which I’ve only done once previously in my 30 years of oracle abuse. The blank rune offers a clean slate, a tabula rasa, on which to craft one’s life. It leaves us wide open to cast off old beliefs and habits. It suggests freedom and sovereignty, two things sorely lacking in today’s crazy culture. On Thursday morning, my personal angel, Roberta, came by and saw my angel card deck on the table next to my runes.Sparkling Roberta chose 3 angel cards: trust, forgiveness, and synthesis. Very nice cards and good reminders to practice each concept when dealing with others and oneself. We put Roberta’s cards back, I shuffled the deck as we chatted, then pulled an angel card for me. It was the blank card. Blank like the rune I drew the night before. Roberta and I gasped. What are the odds? The synchroncity of choosing both the blank rune and the blank angel card on the threshold of the new year – the blank slate - that is this high holiday is sweet and powerful. So to all of you I say, here’s to a new year full of everything we desire. I wish you all good health, success, fun, laughter, kindness, synchronicity, beauty and grace. Todah raba to all my excellent, brilliant friends around the world who care and make a difference. May our next chapter be magic.
