tossing a rune — 19aug25

ehwaz
at rivers' crossing
she joins, shoulder riding light
silent as the fog around

no more words—
silence is the wisdom
of the day

A rune poem, based on an Elder Futhark rune selected at random.

Today’s rune is ehwaz, which has a core meaning of “horse”. A horse is often associated with journeys, travel and movement. By extension, it also implies symbiosis with another living creature or fylgja, and the rune is associated with loyalty or trust.

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

    A lot can be heard in silence.

      It is the rests that gives music meaning.
