For some reason, Mahryan's article hasn't been linked to this one, but it totally should be. You can find it at: http://runesecrets.com/rune-meanings/fehu-extended

That`s beautiful explanation! So I guess adundance which becomes solid and fixed would be Othala while Fehu signifies HOW we deal with, or are connect to wealth that surround us. It is very interesting that the first letter (beginning) & the last one (end) have close relation and it forms circular structure.

I will write up an article though it will be edited cos` I`m not good at writting English, plus I am lazy so it will take time:)

Gondlir:

A clue may lie with the Zen Buddhists, whose practice link the cultivation of ‘beginners mind’ (which I believe is very much a state of mind useful for understanding Fehu) and the reduction of ‘desire’ in one’s life.

If desire is reduced, freedom sought, if life is lived moreso with Necessity in mind (we see need-fire relationship in Nauthiz), then indeed the universe becomes incredibly abundant… one finds, almost magically, that everything one needs/desires is supplied by the universe.

Desires, in this viewpoint, act as fetters: everything you desire keeps you chained. Seeking freedom, which is the highest form of wealth/mobility brings abundance. Beginners mind here keeps one most poised to act in accordance with the truth of the moment, keeps one humble, and grateful for the many lessons the universe teaches.

Property and abundance that acts in other ways is more related to one’s Estate, and that falls within the providence of Othala’s mysteries.

I hope these ideas help.

Thanks Tyriel. You are offering great support for rune seekers.

I am still trying to understand why dynamic, energetic force of Fehu can be connected to adundance. Since, adundance sounds like feminine quality though I believe this rune is of primary masculine energy. So, in the above post, I tried to interpret abundance or welth as dynamic energy related to personal power. How would you think about taking Fehu as abundance which is a result of, and transform to dynamic energy?

Welcome to Rune Secrets Gondlir, thanks for commenting. I really like this idea of making things one’s own. It reminds me of how we can read other people’s wise advice, even stuff from thousands of years ago, but it won’t be ours until we experience it and can re-tell it in our own particular fashion. I agree that life demands a certain courage from us to be lived, and living rightly is a major source of Hamingja.

Feel free to write more on this Gondlir, I’m interested in your viewpoints here. If you care to write at length and formally, I could always post it as a proper guest-article.

Hi,

I find this site is really helpful. Personally, I have done meditaion on runes and found a few ideas.

From one aspect, I have conceived Fehu as rune of “making something one`s own”. To really make something you should not just be given asset, but you need to make it your own. I guess then this becomes real “wealth” which you can control. I thought this psychology of possesion can explain fiery force of Fehu, and wealth as not just given but obtained, thus becomes personal force-Hamingja.

How would you think on this thought? I will appreciate any suggestion. Thanks.

Welcome to the site Cher!
Rune Secrets is a great site for us to begin and continue exploring the runes. We are all learning about them together by thinking and meditating on them. For the most part we allow our intuition to lead us.
You might want to start with the first rune of the 24 – Fehu and take your time reading and thinking about each one in sequence. haveBe sure to read all the comments posted for each one as well.If you have questions as you read post them on the site and someone will try to help out I’m sure.Several other users of this site have done this to the benefit of all of us!
As for the astrological signs and relationship to the runes, some published Runsters have attempted to assign these. So far, I haven’t found any of the attempts particualarly satisfactory. I think that parallels will be associated with the energies of the planets that rule the zodiac signs and how they manifest. The zodiac has twelve signs and there are 24 runes. So, if there are parallels we should anticipate two runes to a sign. As you read about the runes think about which kinds of astrological energies they mirror. Let us know your thoughts becasue no one has the definitive answer to this!

Hello,

I am absolutely new to the world of runes…I really want to learn more about it and its uses, but I need a start from you. Also, I was wondering if runes are connected to star signs, for example, I am an Arien so what would be my rune symbol like?

Perhaps my question does not make any sense at all – I dont know if runes can be interpreted in the way I am thinking, but I would feel nice if you could guide me with your knowledge.

Thanks
