Good Thor’s Day! Todays rune is Kaun. As the first line says below. Wisdom through suffering. Here the suffering is what’s important. It could be physically, spiritually, mentally, or all of the above. What’s important is that experience. Our strength to persevere and overcome is what brings wisdom. Tests from the Gods…..this is what we endure and crush or be crushed by.
ᚴ Kaun (“ulcer”). Wisdom through suffering.
Sound: “k”, “g”
Meaning: Although this rune stands for a wound, we must understand that it is through the suffering of such a wound that we gain new insight. This rune represents just that, the new insight that we gain from an illness or wound.
Norwegian rune poem **
ᚴ Kaun er barna bǫlvan;
bǫl gørver nán fǫlvan.
Translation **
ᚴ Kaun
An ulcer is fatal to children;
death makes a corpse pale.
