Rune of the Day – FEHU
by Hrefna Nornsdatter, Acting Chancellor of Religious Studies
Good afternoon! Today’s rune is Fehu. As we are coming up on the last month of the year, let us reflect on how giving has impacted us and those we care about this year.
“The miracle is this: The more we share, the more we have.” – Leonard Nimoy
FEHU
Meaning: Cattle (wealth)
Pronounced: fey-who
Now Fehu, a rune meaning wealth can be a promise of abundance and fortune or a warning of greed and selfishness. While one who shares and helps others will see an abundance of happiness, friendship, and even wealth, one who hoards his money will lose joy, relationships, and perhaps his wealth. I truly love the line from Diana L. Paxson’s Taking Up the Runes: “True riches are the wealth the soul gains from a life well-lived.”
