Runes, Ancestors, and the Wisdom That Lives On

Bridging the Past and Future During Scorpio Season

As the nights grow longer and the veil between worlds thins, Scorpio season invites us inward into the sacred stillness where transformation happens. It’s that deep, soul-level shift that doesn’t announce itself with fireworks but with whispers: “It’s time.”

Time to shed.
Time to remember.
Time to rise.

Scorpio energy is death and rebirth in its purest form not the ending of life, but the evolution of it. The leaves fall not because they’re dying, but because the tree is wise enough to let go. This season asks us to do the same to honor what’s been, thank it for its lesson, and clear the soil for new beginnings.

Runes the First Sacred Alphabet

Runes are one of the oldest known alphabets, the Elder Futhark used by ancient Northern European peoples over 2,000 years ago. But here’s the fun part: they weren’t just for writing. Each rune carried spiritual meaning, like tiny prayers carved into wood, stone, or bone. They were messages to the divine symbols of power, protection, and prophecy.

So, when we cast runes or meditate on them today, we’re not just practicing an old ritual we’re literally speaking the same spiritual language our ancestors once did. It’s a reminder that our souls have been whispering to eternity for lifetimes.

The Soul’s Deep Work: Runes and Scorpio Season

Scorpio energy invites us into the sacred work of transformation death, rebirth, and renewal. It’s not about endings, but about what must evolve for us to keep growing.

Runes act as anchors through that journey. When we hold one in meditation, we connect to an ancient current of courage and remembrance. It’s like touching a living piece of history one that still hums with the frequency of the Earth, fire, and human spirit.

Each symbol holds an ancestral echo:

“You’ve done this before. You’ve survived. You’re evolving.”

From the Ancestors to the Young: A Living Bridge

I’ve always called myself an old soul. I love sitting quietly with animals, listening to their soft wisdom. I love spending time with elders, soaking in the stories that only time can teach and with the young, watching their bright curiosity bloom.

There’s something sacred about being in that in-between no longer young, but not yet ancient. I’ve become a student and a teacher all at once. The stories of those who came before remind me to stay humble and grateful; the laughter of the younger generation reminds me to stay curious and open.

Now, as I grow older, I feel called to pass my own stories forward not as lessons carved in stone, but as seeds of encouragement. My hope is that they’ll take what I’ve learned the joys, the heartbreaks, the miracles and use it to rise higher, break ceilings, and keep the lineage of wisdom alive in new, beautiful ways.

Because wisdom isn’t meant to be kept it’s meant to be shared.

Scripture Reflection

“To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.”
Ecclesiastes 3:1

This verse feels like the heartbeat of both Scorpio season and the runes themselves a sacred reminder that every generation, every story, and every cycle has its purpose. What the ancestors began, we continue. What we sow now, the next ones will harvest.

A Message for the Season

The runes remind us that we are part of an unbroken chain ancient energy flowing through modern hearts.
Every act of gratitude, every story told, every moment of reflection is a way of saying:

“I remember where I come from, and I honor where I’m going.”

So as you sit in this season of reflection and rebirth, take a moment to listen to your own lineage  in your blood, your memories, or the quiet wisdom of the Earth itself. Let it speak to you. Let it root you.

And then, pass it on.

Because somewhere, a younger soul is waiting for your story the one that will help them find their own light.

Closing Reflection: The Reading That Inspired This

This blog was inspired by my recent collective energy reading, The Harvest of Gratitude and Reflection.
In that reading, Earth and Fire danced together to teach us the sacred balance between grounding and renewal honoring what has been while embracing what is becoming.

The guiding tarot archetype was The Death card the sacred symbol of transformation, release, and rebirth.
Just like the runes, it reminds us that every ending carries the seed of a new beginning.

May these words, and this season, remind you that death and rebirth are not opposites, but companions on the same path toward awakening.

If this message spoke to your spirit, you can receive your own copy of The Harvest of Gratitude & Reflection, A Collective Energy Reading, infused with the grounded wisdom of Earth + Fire energy and guided by the Death card’s archetype of transformation and rebirth.

This is more than a reading it’s a sacred seasonal guide to help you reflect, reset, and rise with the energy of Scorpio Season.
