our lady winter
lingers behind her veil
frost the skies of feather
tasting of crimson & coal
echoing ebon memories
A rune poem, based on an Elder Futhark rune selected at random.
Today’s rune is hagalaz, which has a core meaning of “hail”, which was associated with potential, transformation, renewal and change; hail is imagined a seed from which change will arise. Hagalaz is also seen as representative of things beyond our control: a clash between fire and ice.
Please visit my Elder Futhark pages at sceadugenga.com for additional interpretations of the runes based on multiple references and personal reflection.

Nice sense of the cyclic here – as Autumn retreats, Winter emerges from behind her veil, her place taken by a watchful Lady of Spring.
Thank you, Chris.
