slag cooling in drizzle grey
trampled & gone back to mud
under the muscle ache
A rune poem, based on an Elder Futhark rune selected at random.
Today’s rune is uruz. The rune is named after the now-extinct aurochs, a wild ox and has become associated with standing up to challenges, having both confidence and courage, stubborn tenacity, and boundless strength and health. Uruz is alternately associated with the more raw elements which include rain, primordial potential, and the slag/dross cast away during the making of iron.
Please visit my Elder Futhark pages at sceadugenga.com for additional interpretations of the runes based on multiple references and personal reflection.

We have a bunch of old steel mills here. And I’ve walked around them. And in the rain. So this resonates well with me.
Thanks Bob. I can only imagine what that’s like, although I’m guessing old grain silos have the same vibe.
Probably not the best place to walk around. Looked pretty toxic. Old grain mills are much cooler to explore.
Just as dangerous with the methane gas build up 🙂

Good point!
