tossing a rune — 15aug25

laguz
from her source
the first kiss of winter
to her river flows

taking up blackthorn
i seek to pathfind
her snows

Another rune poem of mine, where the rune is selected at random.

Today’s rune is laguz, which has a core meaning of “lake” and, by extension, may be interpreted as “river”, “ocean”, “sea”, “waterfall” or a general body of water. Some alternative interpretations define as “leek”. Following the more commonly accepted meaning, bodies of water were considered liminal spaces, a place between life and death or the threshold space between which spirit and substance resides.

      It is my source. I am most definitely not a summer’s child. 😉
