Rune of the Day – Gebo
by Hrefna Nornsdatter, Active Chancellor of Religious Studies
Good morning! Today’s rune is Gebo. Giving goes beyond material possessions; it encompasses the sharing of time, knowledge, and kindness. These acts of generosity ripple through our community, inspiring others to give and creating a cycle of goodwill that benefits everyone.
GEBO
Pronunciation: gay-boo
Meaning: A gift
The exchange of gifts was a highly meaningful act and the need for exchanged energies and powers to remain equal is one of the most important aspects of the rune Gebo. In the Havamal, it says, “A man should be loyal through life to friends, and return gift for gift; Laugh when they laugh, but with lies repay a false foe who lies.” This rune represents exchange, generosity, and “sacred marriage.” It can also be connected to sacrifice; with “give” there is always “take.”
Keywords: gift, trade, partnership, favors, contracts, obligations, debt, oath-taking
