lake facing lake
in underwater to go
slipping beneath winter
cut scrimshaw carved stone
these deadlands beckon
...come, sit, eat...
blackwing at wellside up
watching the old wind sweep
A poem prompted by a randomly selected Elder Futhark rune.
Today’s rune is othala, which has a core meaning of “heritage”, “inheritance” and “legacy”. These are all associated with home, kin, ancestors, stability and (in some interpretations) past lives or spiritual legacy.
Please visit my Elder Futhark pages at sceadugenga.com for additional interpretations of the runes based on multiple references and personal reflection.
