Another manic Máni’s day! Who could expect any less with the holiday coming up too quickly? Todays pull is Gebo. It should be no surprise that all I get is gifts from it, not just receiving, giving is greater. Not just on the material level, but on a spiritual as well. A kind word, a shoulder to cry on, friend to lean on, memory to cherish, a moment spent with a friend or loved one can leave the greatest impact on one’s very being. It’s not what you take in, it’s what you put out into the universe that matters. We are all here, at the same time, in the same moment, we all have something that calls us, and it’s that which binds our purpose together. This is the way to healing.
GEBO
(gay-boo)
the exchange of gifts, whether physical or otherwise, is a highly meaningful act, as is the idea of trade. It is associated with magical rings, which give kings the ability to share powers with their followers, as is expected of leaders. The need for exchanged energies and powers to remain equal in amounts is at the heart of the rune Gebo. In the Havamal it also says, ‘A man should be loyal through life to friends and return gift for gift; Laugh when they laugh, but with lies repay a false foe who lies.’ Though this might conflict with the New Age morality, it was the ancient way of expressing ‘what goes around, comes around’.
The power of Gebo: This rune helps to open your heart to the ideals of brotherhood and cooperation
Inspiration: Gebo means gift, in the material, emotional and spiritual sense. Devotion and reward are the two fundamental aspects of this rune. We must not be afraid to make the first move and act freely without asking for anything in return. this attitude is a sign of inner strength
