casting runes — 31mar26

wunjo
to the shifting flames
we cast the long stares
myriad futures flicker,
dancing into the fire
for that sacred kiss

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.

Please visit my Elder Futhark pages at sceadugenga.com for additional interpretations of the runes based on multiple references and personal reflection.
