Wunjo

Wunjo is the letter W

Anglo-Saxon rune poem (from ragweedforge.com)

Joy he enjoys who knows not suffering, sorrow nor anxiety,
and has prosperity and happiness and a good enough house

Wunjo, the rune of Joy is for today. It should be pretty obvious what this indicates, but there is also an indication of wish fulfillment, pleasure, and contentment as part of what lies within it. At it’s more refined level, it is bliss, a state of feeling the connectedness of creation, and being in harmony with it.

Wunjo

Wunjo is the letter W/V (think german W)

Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem (from ragweedforge.com)

Bliss he enjoys who knows not suffering, sorrow nor anxiety,
and has prosperity and happiness and a good enough house.

Wunjo (bliss) is also often translated as Joy, Happiness and is also equated with wishes (wonne, a German word for wishing). It is the essential gamarunar (joy rune) and it describe the presence and activity of all those things when it appears in a reading. You can expect a peaceful, pleasant and harmonious day when Wunjo appears. Wunjo also works well to bring those influence into a place, a person or within a certain time.

Wunjoy is the letter W

Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem (from ragweedforge.com)

Bliss he enjoys who knows not suffering, sorrow nor anxiety,
and has prosperity and happiness and a good enough house

Wunjo is often translated as Joy, Bliss and sometimes happiness. Etymologically, it is related to a german word for wishes or wishing.

Wunjo creates a category of it’s own, known as gamaruna or Joy runes. As I am typing this entry, each time I type Wunjo, I keep adding the letter y to the end. Esoterically it is the rune of Harmony, showing all things working together, being in the right place at the right time, reverberating and resonating in a kind of cosmic tuning. It shows that harmony is filling the day (although not necessarily Peace or calm) and that anxiety, sorrow and suffering is temporarily alleviated. It is also a heidrunar or bright rune, as there is a quality of light that seems to permeate contemplation of Wunjo, which is different from the light of other runes. It is rather like the light that fills the sky before sunrise, or just after the sun has set, where if you stop and watch and be with that moment, everything just seems to fall into place.
