Daily Rune – Thorn

Good Woten’s day. Todays rune is Thorn of the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc. After yesterday, and so far this morning, it points straight at frustration. I’m not sure it’s source but I do hope it dissipates very quickly. So much for my mini-staycation.

ᚦ Ã¾orn â€“ Thorn rune means “the god Thor, giant”. The rune of brute force and dangerous opposites. It is the rune of extreme change, sometimes violently. It also means conflict, which can be a source of frustration or anguish.

Anglo-Saxon rune poem **

ᚦ Ãorn byþ Ã°earle scearp; Ã°egna gehwylcum

  anfeng ys yfyl, ungemetum reþe

  manna gehwelcum, ðe him mid resteð. 

Translation **

Thorn

The thorn is exceedingly sharp,

an evil thing for any knight to touch,

uncommonly severe on all who sit among them.
