Good Woten’s day! Todays rune is Maðr. Again Heimdallr shows up. The rune of the first man. Intelligence and awareness are key components here. And I think awareness intentionally jumps out, not in the sense of danger, but more on a cosmic or spiritual level. To be truly aware is the highest from of intelligence because it encompasses the spirit. If one finds peace there, then one has everything they need.
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.
