Sunday Symbols & their Meanings
no: 3 ~ Fehu Rune
The super lucky ones of you who have purchased our mead so far, may have noticed this little dude on the back of the bottles. This is the rune called Fehu.
THESE SYMBOLS WERE MUTATED INTO AN ALPHABET-LIKE STRUCTURE
Runes are popular in the current “Viking trend” that’s getting around, though runes predate the Vikings by at least 700 years. During the Viking age, these symbols were mutated into an alphabet type structure called the Younger Futhark.
These symbols were used to carve into stone, telling stories of people and places. Before this, they were used for much more. The oldest known runes, known as the Elder Futhark, were used (& still are) for divination purpose.
The Fehu rune is the first of the 24 runes in the Elder Futhark lot. Each rune has strong meaning, energy & purpose. The Fehu rune represents one’s luck & success in all good things they seek.
It is associated with wealth, but not entirely in the way we see wealth today. In ancient times, wealth was not only about how many processions they had, but who they were as a person, for the true wealth is in one’s happiness & perspective of life.
THE OLDEST KNOWN RUNES ARE STILL USED FOR DIVINATION PURPOSES
I could probably talk a whole day about each rune but this was a quick summary of this one.
Hope you enjoyed it.
Skål.
