When drawn, this rune counsels to begin facing up, releasing and admitting to yourself that in order to progress, you must first clear away the blockage within. Only then you will be able to satisfactorily deal with outside blockages. Breaking the momentum of old habits is the task here. Remember that in the life of the inner-self, you are always at the beginning.
The rune tells about a dark period of life for you. Friends may turn from you, bad habits may develop, or you may have a feeling of powerlessness and uselessness. It may seem to you that the whole world is against you. If you dare to analyze the current situation, you will see that no matter how bad it is all around, the root of the problems is not external. It is your inner qualities or feelings: greed, envy, deceit, or unwillingness to face the truth.
