Happy Saturday and Hail to you!! Todays rune is Maðr. I get this every time I pull this, or Mannaz as they’re essentially the same. I start to get the feels because I look around in our virtual spaces as well as in our everyday life and see how we treat each other and it makes me sad. We can be different, and accept each other’s beliefs, race, gender identity, sexual preferences, etc, etc, and etc. When it boils down to it, does any of that really matter? Would you refuse a dying man’s hand because of any of these differences? I would surely hope not, cuz then we’ll have much more then words. So, in the words of my good friends Bill S. Preston Esquire & Ted Theodore Logan “Be excellent to each other…AND….Party on dudes!!”
ᛘ maðr (“man”). The rune of the first man Mannus. The rune of planning, intelligence, and awareness. The rune symbolizes the continuity of the family.
Sound: “m”
Meaning: This rune stands not only for humankind but also represents the mythical “first man,” Mannus (or Mannaz). Since it represents humankind, it symbolizes the continuity of the family and clan.
Norwegian rune poem **
ᛘ Maðr er moldar auki;
mikil er græip á hauki.
Translation **
ᛘ Madhr
Man is an augmentation of the dust;
great is the claw of the hawk.
