Hello friends, me again. Today’s pull is Gebo. Keyword for me really is opening my heart to the ideals of brotherhood. That’s key, in what I’m doing here, and what I attempt to do in daily life. Also devotion, I’ve devoted 30 years to this path, stumbled and fell, got side-tracked, as we all do and yet here I am with you now. Never expect anything in return, but give freely of yourself and your spirit.
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 actually a sign of inner strength
Gebo helps to open our heart to the ideals of brotherhood and cooperation
