casting runes — 02jan26

i will meet you
at the crossroads
crows cussing at the wind

i offer up knowing eyes
you offer up the same
crows still cussing the wind

we both follow the
most broken road
crows silent on the wind

A rune poem, based on an Elder Futhark rune selected at random.

Today’s rune is gebo, which has a core meaning of “gift”. This relates to all forms of reciprocity: transaction, generosity, hospitality and sacrifice (in the sense of giving up something). It may also mean offering up a talent or skill; or gebo may suggest a synergistic, possibly romantic, relationship.

Please visit my Elder Futhark pages at sceadugenga.com for additional interpretations of the runes based on multiple references and personal reflection.
