Rune of the Day 01-07-2025: WUNJO
by Hrefna Nornsdatter, AtN Chair of Religious Studies
Good morning! Today’s rune is Wunjo. Here’s a rune we haven’t seen for a bit and it sure is welcome! We could all use some joy in the new year. Sending blessings of joy to you and yours!
WUNJO
Pronunciation: “WOON-yo”
Meaning: Joy
In a very straightforward sense, this rune promotes happiness, joy, good news, or a positive outcome. Regarding relationships, it may directly reference success in “love” or the joy of doing something harmoniously with others, such as work. Wunjo is a rune that can be used to promote positivity, wash away depression, or help with feelings of alienation or loneliness. In Diana L. Paxson’s Taking Up the Runes, she states: “There is another kind of joy in the search for wisdom, especially when one can share the quest with companions found along the way.” This sentiment alone shows that even in the mundane, such as in the pursuit of learning, we can find joy and even more so when we involve friends.
Keywords: Joy, happiness, bliss, friendship, hope, harmony, wishing, community, well-being, success
