casting runes — 05feb26

spring moult, rough granite
aids to cast off old morns
gathering on melting snows;
an amble off to new moors

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

Today’s rune is uruz. The rune is named after the now-extinct aurochs, a wild ox and has become associated with standing up to challenges, having both confidence and courage, stubborn tenacity, and boundless strength and health. Uruz is alternately associated with the more raw elements which include rain, primordial potential, and the slag/dross cast away during the making of iron.

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