Good morning! Today’s rune is Gebo. And what a gift today is!
“Yesterday is history,
tomorrow is a mystery,
and today is a gift…
that’s why they call it present”
― Kung Fu Panda
GEBO
Pronunciation: gay-boo
Meaning: A gift
The exchange of gifts was a highly meaningful act and the need for exchanged energies and powers to remain equal is one of the most important aspects of the rune Gebo. In the Havamal it says ‘A man should be loyal through life to friends, and return gift for gift; Laugh when they laugh, but with lies repay a flase foe who lies.’ This rune represents exchange, generosity, and “Sacred Marriage”. It can also be connected to sacrifice; with “give” there is always “take”.
Keywords: gift, trade, partnership, favors, contracts, obligations, debt, oath-taking.
