When Eihwaz appears, you are likely standing at a crossroads. This isn't just a minor shift; it's a deep, fundamental transformation that might feel challenging at first. Think of it like crossing a bridge: you are leaving one shore behind and moving towards another, and there's no turning back. You might feel a strong pull to let go of old ways or beliefs that no longer serve you, even if they feel comfortable and familiar. It's a call to embrace the unknown with courage.
