casting runes — 28nov25

wunjo
a wish, then
since it is cold outside &
i am cold within as well
for the warmth of spring
on the breath of wind
with this coin tossed
to dark waters below

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

Today’s rune is wunjo, which is translated as “joy” and has been interpreted in both the earthly sense as well as in spiritual ecstasy. It has been associated with healing (emotional, mental and interpersonal) and some sources connect the rune to luck, the act of making a wish, or applied will. Wunjo can also be the inspiration for creativity.
