fetlock fettered
the path seems but
a distant dream
even as it wends
mere steps away
A poem prompted by a randomly selected Elder Futhark rune.
Today’s rune is raido, which has been translated as “ride” and the implied “journey”. This may be spatial and literal in practice (a physical journey), or it may be more figurative (an inner/shamanic journey).
Please visit my Elder Futhark pages at sceadugenga.com for additional interpretations of the runes based on multiple references and personal reflection.
One response to “tossing a rune — 18sep25”
Maybe it’s best those distant dreams stay a few steps beyond us.
