(21) Adventure - Spiral
This anti-clockwise spiral unwinds outwards and upwards, inspiring you to uncoil your mind and body to try novel activities.
By its very nature, adventure involves taking a risk on change of some sort; doing something new or something familiar differently, travel in a physical sense, travel in your mind. Life can become stale without adventure, so push the boat out and explore.
The Rune of Adventure is calling you to proactively create quests and escapades which take the form of unusual, exciting or even daring experiences.
Adventures can involve risk-taking when you move outside your comfort zone but the reward of doing something adventurous – possibly something you didn’t think you were capable of - is a tremendous sense of achievement which stays with you for life.
Undoubtedly, it is beneficial to have a break from routine, especially if you feel like you’re stuck in a rut. The challenge is to be confident and undaunted about trying something new, possibly risqué, because the element of surprise that adventure brings will keep your life fresh and interesting.
A thought-provoking saying from the ancient sage Lao Tzu will get you going: "if you do not change direction, you may end up where you’re heading."
When you think about adventure, the idea of travel often comes up. It is said that travel broadens the mind, it certainly opens you up to new experiences - some enjoyable and some not so pleasant, but character-building nonetheless.
Whether solo or in the company of others, visiting foreign lands or unfamiliar areas in your own country, gives you an entirely different perspective on life. This can make you more appreciative of what you have back home.
Of course, travel is just one way to have adventures. There are any number of other ways to initiate fresh experiences and embrace your originality.
You just need to find the right ones for you which involve a degree of physical, emotional or even spiritual challenge. Climb mountains, scale the height of fear, make mindfulness expeditions, just be adventurous.
It is possible to go on stimulating adventures in your mind by reading
books, watching travelogues, identifying with characters in a movie or
indulging in creative design.
Imagine you are walking on a spiral path
winding outwards from your previous limitations to a special place where you
have adventures beyond your wildest dreams. Now go do it for real!
This Rune is a member of The Formative Set embracing aptitudes having a profound influence on your personal development and achievements.
