OPENING
FIRE
TORCH

This is the Rune of opening, renewed clarity dispellng the darkness that has been shrouding some part of your life.  You are free now to receive, and to know the joy of non-attached giving.

KANO is the Rune for the morning of activities, for seriousness, clear intent and concentration, all of which are essential at the beginning of work. The protection offered by KANO is this:

The more Light you have the better you can see what is trivial and outmoded in your conditioning. In relationships, there can now be a mutual opening up. You may serve as the trigger, the timekeepr through your awareness that the Light of understanding is once again available to you both. Recognize that while on the one hand you are limited and dependent, on the other hand you exist at the perfect center where the harmonious and beneficent forces of the universe merge and radiate.  You ARE that center. Simply put. If you have been operating in the dark, there is now enough light to see that the patient on the operating table is yourself.

REVERSED: Expect a darkening of the light in some situation or relationship. A friendship may be dying, a partnership, a marriage, some aspect of yourself that is no longer appropriate to the person you are now.  Receiving this Rune puts you on notice that failure to face up to the death consciously would constitute a loss of opportunity.  KANO is one of the Cycle Runes. REVERSED, it points to the death of a way of life invalidated by growth. REVERSED, this Rune calls for giving up gladly the old and being prepared to live for a time empty. It calls for developing inner stability and  not being seduced by the movement of old ways while waiting for the new to become illuminated in its proper time.
