FRITH MHOIRE : (Literally "AUGURY OF MARY")a Celtic word referring to a method of divination or augury. There are many methods and schools of thought on how to do the "frith" Basically it consists of paying attention to symbols and recurring things that are actually omens for us to use in our lives.
For example, the last week or so, I have been seeing a crane flying overhead : just one at a time.
Typically we should search ourselves for meanings on what these animals mean to us (what is the meaning of this totem in our lives). I have been feeling more and more independent recently and also a little "alone" but getting better with it, which is why I think I am seeing only one bird at a time.
I did some searching and I find that the crane appearing to us refers to "teaches keeping your own counsel, protection of family, and balance in life above all else." To me I think this refers to me maintaining my independence in a fulfilling way - not feeling resentful and alone, but embracing my unique place in life.
The Crane is also considered to be a messenger from the Divine - so I consider that seeing the Crane so many times is telling me to trust in the path that is before me. I place my trust in the universe and the Goddess
to guide me in the best way possible. We often miss the "forest for the trees". In our lives, there is a larger purpose unfolding, and we can't always see all the little steps that are involved to get us to a certain place.
If you want to do a Frith - the best place and time to do this is on a threshold - so at sunrise, or sunset, or standing in a doorway : half inside, half outside, or perhaps at the edge of a meadow and a forest. When I do this first thing in the morning I say to myself : What resources do I have today? Then I close my eyes and spin around once. Then I open my eyes, and look for the first things that catches my attention. This could be a bird song, it could be a freshening breeze on my cheek - or - as has been happening - a bird flying overhead. Look at the details of what you see too : Which direction is the bird flying? What colour is the flower that grabs your attention... the details help.
Throughout the day consider the events that unfold, and try and see how your omen or symbol fits in with the day. This is a learning process : it will develop with practice.
Our message for today is one of hope and beginnings for all of us : This is the waxing moon still (I always think abundance and drawing the things and people I want in my life towards me).

The rune for today is Raido which means "to ride" literally. In this rune, the image is not so much the riding of a horse as in riding in a cart or as cargo. As such Raido may suggest a journey, but is much more indicative of communication. Alternate interpretations based on the use of Raido as a cognate in other words give it the meaning of council, judgment, and moral correctness. Therefore, this rune is the rune of wise advice and good leadership.
