DAGAZ - Honeysuckle Honeysuckle (Lonicera periclymenum), with its entwining branches, was associated with sensuousness and eroticism and the gradual revealing of hidden secrets. It was also an emblem of the labyrinth and of the quest for hidden secrets of the Soul. So Honeysuckle is concerned with finding a way to your own spiritual centre and with enjoying the thrill of the experience as well as its eventual revelation. Its associated Rune is DAGAZ. Honeysuckle helps guard against distractions; it can also help you to put passion into your interests and to distinguish what is of true worth. Honeysuckle stresses the Cosmic principle that if a thing feels right, then it's okay to do it, so long as no one gets hurt. Life, in the main, is intended to be pleasurable. |
