Good Woten’s Day! Todays rune is Maðr. What we have here is intelligence. I feel this comes in the form of intuition and knowing from experience. Knowledge is just knowledge unless there’s experience to back it up. Then, it becomes something greater.
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.
