Happy Tyr’s Day! And a very happy anniversary to my beautiful wife of 25 years! Todays rune is Ur of the Younger Futhark. I’d like to think blessings are appropriate here. 25 years and we haven’t choked each other out and are still happy. I’d definitely count that as a blessing. Sure, everyone has rough times, ups and downs, but now, right now is good, and I have no complaints!
ᚢ úr (“iron”/ “rain”) sudden danger or blessings.
Sound: “uâ€, “oâ€, “yâ€, “wâ€
Meaning: Represents how some things can develop from nothingness. Like the fertile soil that can be created from volcanic ash which in turn with a slight amount of water and sunlight can spawn growth.
Norwegian rune poem **
ᚢ Úr er af illu jarne;
opt løypr ræinn á hjarne.
Translation **
ᚢ Ur
Dross comes from bad iron;
the reindeer often races over the frozen snow.
