Gar
There is no letter for Gar
There is no rune poem for Gar. It is a Northumbrian Rune.
Gar is the final rune of the Anglo-Saxon/Northumbrian Futhorc. As it falls out of the neat division of rows of eight letters each, it stands outside of the usual ordering. The name is usually translated as spear.
Gar is, as always, the cosmic blank slate. All things and No things expressed as n/one
Ehwaz reversed
Ehwaz is the short e vowel, as in “get”
Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem (from ragweedforge.com)
The horse is a joy to princes in the presence of warriors.
A steed in the pride of its hoofs,when rich men on horseback bandy words about it;and it is ever a source of comfort to the restless
Ehwaz reversed countenances patience, and to move forward slowly. Sometimes it may tell you to move slowly, other times it just turns out you are in a situation where you have no choice but to move like molasses in January. Either way, avoid acting hastily, don’t make short, fast “spur of the moment” trips, and you might want to double check everything before you leave, or else you might end up forgetting things.
Cenaz reversed
Cenaz is the letter C
Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem (from ragweedforge.com)
The torch is known to every living man by its pale, bright flame;
it always burns where princes sit within.
I am feeling uninspired. Which is the meaning of Cenaz reversed as well. The lack of inspiration, which if I was working on a creative project might be problematic, but since I am just enjoying my free time and doing routine things on this Saturday, it’s not a challenge or problem for me. Perhaps letting the flame smoulder and just not having to be bright and burning is a good thing today.
Ear is the sound “ea”
Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem (from ragweedforge.com)
The grave is horrible to every knight,
when the corpse quickly begins to cooland is laid in the bosom of the dark earth.Prosperity declines, happiness passes awayand covenants are broken.
Aethel reversed
Aethel is the dipthong “oe”
Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem (from ragweedforge.com)
An estate is very dear to every man,
if he can enjoy there in his housewhatever is right and proper in constant prosperity
It was a little shocking to see the reversed rune of the rune of the week show up today. It seemed odd, but I guess even the most harmonious home will always have a little friction in it, at least to keep things interesting for those involved. After a moment of contemplation, I think it is speaking more to the cabin fever, of being in the home, secure and comfortable for too long. Eventually the desire for stimulation, interaction and variety push even the most established home body out in the open space. The discord at home might be brought about because, as a saying I have heard goes “Familiarity breeds contempt.” Stepping outside, at least to get away from others, as much as get away from yourself.
Eolhx is the letters z or x
Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem (from ragweedforge.com)
The Eolhx-sedge is mostly to be found in a marsh;
it grows in the water and makes a ghastly wound,covering with blood every warrior who touches it
Eolhx, one of those mysterious runes whose exact name or meaning is unclear, is typically thought to me mean “elk.” In the Anglo-Saxon poem, it describes a type of still marsh grass, that can leave behind a nasty and deep paper cut, if it is handled incorrectly.
This rune is typically associated with protection. Where that protection comes from, is another debate, but almost always it is protection. How are you protected? What are you protected from? Who are you protecting? Why does it need protection?
It seems like a lot of people confuse protection and defense. To me, the difference is activity. Protection just is. It is passive, and only comes into action when the enemy activates it. Defense is active. It is ready, sharp and only held back because the person doesn’t want to take the offense. You can have your defenses down, but your protections up and they may never come done. Not that being protected is a bad thing. But sometimes, being defensive all the time is.
Khalk reversed
Khalk is the letter K
There is no poem for khalk. It is a Northumbrian rune
Khalk (usually interpreted “cup” or “chalice) reversed indicates unfulfilled desires and longing. It is the cup of victory and attainment being emptied, possibly poured out, possibly spilled, maybe it has already been drunk, emptied to the dregs. There is no more to be had from this font, and now it is time to fill it again. Maybe something new, maybe something different, but there is no more to be had from this source, and seeking to quench your thirst from it will not satisfy, but instead leave you longing and unfulfilled.
Uruz
Uruz is the vowel U
Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem (from ragweedforge.com)
The aurochs is proud and has great horns;
it is a very savage beast and fights with its horns;a great ranger of the moors, it is a creature of mettle
Uruz (the auroch) symbolizes strength, power, and potential. As the auroch was the wild precursor to modern cattle, it is potential, the potential that can be shaped and formed to achieve ones desires. As the auroch was strong creature, that was very fierce and dangerous, it is also power and strength, material strength and spiritual strength, which are both valued. It is a bit more masculine, compared to what can be seen as it’s companion Ac (the oak) which is a bit more feminine. It is also a rune of healing, applying that strength to rebuilding what has been damaged, and giving it the power to be stronger, better and powerful with health. In a reading, it indicates that those values are being expressed or are needed in the situation. Sometimes you need to work, and apply power and your strength to situation, in order to make it right or at least work out as best as it can.
Inguz
Inguz is the suffix – ing
Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem (from ragweedforge.com)
Ing was first seen by men among the East-Danes,
till, followed by his chariot,he departed eastwards over the waves.So the Heardingas named the hero.
OMG! Again??? Somehow I think this rune is being quite literal today, with the Christian holy day of Easter. As Frey was a sacrificed god, who rose again, so it’s an easy symbolic connection to another figure who died and rose again.
Aethel is the dipthong oe
Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem (from ragweedforge.com)
An estate is very dear to every man,
if he can enjoy there in his housewhatever is right and proper in constant prosperity
Aethel is the rune for this week, showing that family, home and land is the focus and concern. As it is also a rune of Wealth, you might find that you have opportunities for long term investments or real estate that maybe coming to fruition or coming towards. As it is a good time to focus on the family, living and deceased, and to enjoy the harmony that can be present there. All of your family, not just the blood relatives.
