casting runes — 22oct25

othala
under the cloak
the patterns burn
all the more clear

slip to the well
and dive, emerge
in the lands
under the sea

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.
