we thorn climb hands
& sanguine weep
ever sky we seek or
follow tangleroot down
to school ourselves to see
A rune poem, based on an Elder Futhark rune selected at random.
Today’s rune is algiz, which may mean either “elk” (there is some uncertainty if this is the case) or yew (Old Norse). It is associated with the Otherworld, protection/sanctuary, and with guardian spirits/fylgja. The unconscious mind is also sometimes associated with algiz.
Please visit my Elder Futhark pages at sceadugenga.com for additional interpretations of the runes based on multiple references and personal reflection.

“tangleroot down / to school ourselves to see” …amazing.
Thank Bob 😊
Perhaps our own, self-schooled ideas are the best. A reflection of our own truths and realities, Perhaps?
Well, it’s getting so that up is down and right is left… Seems that I can trust my truths and realities using my own eyes more than what I’m told.
Oh, absolutely. And we are fed so much in the way of mis-truths. Sadly too many seem to succumb to them.
Sadly, you are correct.
