Good Woten’s Day! Todays rune is As/Oss. Today we speak of the power of oral bonds and oaths. Their importance in keeping them, not only in the manner of honor, but in loyalty to the gods as well. The power of the spoken word internally, and externally is the power of the sharpest sword and the strongest shield.
ᚬ As/Oss means “one of the Æsir (gods)”. The rune of divine order. The rune of justice and truth.
Sound: “o” as in “oh”
Represents the power of communication, oral bonds, and the commanding force of word and song.
Norwegian rune poem **
ᚬ Óss er flæstra færða
fǫr; en skalpr er sværða.
Translation **
ᚬ As
Estuary is the way of most journeys;
but a scabbard is of swords.
