There is one more that is considered a modern addition and even though some of the rune sets don’t include it, mine does. Today’s Rune is the last one in the Elder Futhark Script. If you’d like to look back on any of the rune posts, here is a list. I sincerely appreciate everyone who has tagged along on this Rune journey! I will slowly start exploring doing rune readings, but that will change the Tarot Readings on Mondays, so we’ll see how this comes together. The blank Rune is said to represent the highest possibilities of human endeavor.Īlways look to the runes around WYRD for clues to its meaning, especially the ones following it.Īnd that’s a wrap. WYRD operates through a completely separate dimension than that of the other runes and can often indicate the matter in question is in the lap of the gods. The concept expressed by it is neither concrete nor of this world. Having no number and no symbol makes WYRD in effect a non-rune. Whether this is something is positive or negative depends on what you warrant by virtue of your past behavior. When this rune appears in a reading, you may be certain that something unexpected is going to come to you. We must always accept responsibility for our own actions, be they good or bad. WYRD is the cosmic power of fate and is closely akin to the idea expressed by the Sanskrit word, Karma.

This is a rune of total trust and should be taken as exciting evidence of your most immediate contact with your own true destiny.

The blank rune known as WYRD, is a totally modern addition to the Futhark system, although the concept it represents was certainly well known to the rune-using peoples. As we wind up this journey through the individual runes, because this rune is included in my personal set, I want to include it here, but WYRD is not a part of the original Elder Futhark script.
