Something to consider, indeed… Thank you so much for your comment!

It is a very physical rune, and the auroch was apparently a pretty territorial animal. Though it could also be a prompt to you, telling you to have the courage to ask about that someone’s feelings directly, or even to take the matter into your own hands completely. Something to consider!

Hi! I would really love to know how could Uruz be read in a romantic context. I asked about someone’s feelings towards me, and the answer was Uruz. Is it simply passion? I’d like to have your opinion. Thanks!

Vanr,
I know there is an order, because the Universe wills it, but the actual order might not be the order we interpret. Perhaps to the ancients the act of putting the domestic before the wild or primal was simply an act of putting what we can control in front of what we cant. Both having the same importance on different levels, one being easier to perceive and grasp.
The goals at journey’s end are often not the dreams the journey was begun with.

Vanr: I’ll try :-) – when I get a few moments (weekend maybe) I’ll post acooment under either Othala or Dagaz – unless Tyriel or someone else cares to do it sooner …

Every brush brings a new piece of knowledge but is like scratching a Topaz.

Indeed. If a baby was left alone, it could not survive, but it needs some years of protection and guidance in order to acquire all the resources it needs for its journey. Otherwise it could be doomed to misdirection.

Could you please clarify the Dagaz and Othala relation?

Ok I found it eventually! http://runesecrets.com/rune-meanings/fehu-extended
Absolutely there is deeper meaning – there always is with the runes. I don’t think any of us are doing more than brush the surface of the deep knowledge and wisdom they can potentially reveal to us. But, the comments and questions on this site are a great way to share what we have!
I don’t think the primal cow Audhumla should really be reduced to ‘domesticated cattle’. The female side of primal energy, she is focussed on nurturing the multiverse ( the Aurouch male energy is raw and less focussed, but just as essential to living).
At the same time, the two forces could be said to be so bound together as to be both mutbale and inseperable – which comes first when one cannot be without the other? This is how I also feel about the last two runes Dagaz and Othala.
As well, in a sociological sense, Fehu represents the conditions of life we are born into (wealth or lack of it and related domestic/environmental circumstances). In this sense it must come first for each life cycle. It is also directly connected to Othala as the resting place/ tribal-ken connection joining the generations.
Just a few thoughts to keep our contemplations going …

Good question Vanr!
Tyriel – what happened to the additional in-depth article on Fehu? I can’t seem to find it on the site. It might be helpful – can’t altogether rememebr what I said in it though ….

I have a question but I do not want to be misunderstood.

I would like to understand, apart from the fact that this is the original sequence, why domesticated cattle comes before wild bovine and wealth before raw primal power.

I have heard that one should have a clue of the target before beginning their journey but I feel there is a deeper truth below.
