The Wicca Book of Days for April 14th – The Rune of Man
The runic half-month of Mannaz (or Man) begins today, and it last day will fall on April 28. As its name indicates, this rune means “man,” and it may be interpreted on the one hand as signifying a male person, and, on the other, as referring to mankind, or humankind. Different interpreters put a different gloss on the meaning of this rune, with some saying that it points to the self, and others, that it highlights how the individual relates to the wider human community. And yet another view is that Mannaz denotes defense, especially of the human race collectively.
Heartening Hyssop
If you are feeling vulnerable to attack, fortify yourself with a herb that grows under mighty Mar’s protection, namely hyssop. Inhaling the essential oil will strengthen your immune system and will life your spirits if you are feeling down.
