Fehu is the half-month stave through 29 July.  Wunjo is the intuitive rune, and Ansuz reversed indicates Time’s message to us. Read right to left is Fehu, Wunjo, then Ansuz reversed.

I truly believe that #theweeklyrune includes the keys to making better choices based on keen insight into the present, to help each of us be more active in creating a better reality for us all. That realization process includes learning to tend what can’t just be fixed, and using every tool at our disposal to accomplish that. The runes are such a tool, and in the Old Norse tradition, this process is wyrdweaving at it deepest potential. The runes provide one way we can create ourselves as fit elders, so that we can become well Ancestors upon death.

What’s a half-month rune?

“Half-month” is an astronomical concept in which each month is divided into two parts: days 1-15, then 16-month’s end. In terms of the runic calendar, each half-month rune is one of the 24 runes of the Elder Futhark, and governs for a tad over two weeks (14 and 1/4 days, or a fortnight).

The Weekly Rune is a three-rune cast. Those runes are the half-month, the intuitive rune, and the overview. The half-month is a set rune, which for the most part follows the traditional ordering of the Elder Futhark. The intuitive stave (meaning, I draw it blind) indicates the life force most available to us, to the focus of the half-month rune into sharper focus. It suggests how we can best handle the half-month energies. The final rune (also drawn blind) provides a high overview of the current time, and speaks from different voices. These voices are usually Nature, Earth, Creation, though are sometimes others. I note who’s speaking each week, as it is revealed.

• Listen to my What in the Wyrd podcast, which is available across all popular podcast platforms, including Google Play and  iTunes.
• A few people have asked the reason that I switch between different rune sets for TWR. The short answer is: because. The more nuanced answer is, I ask which sets wants to speak each week. I don’t assume the same elements are in play according to the timing of the runes; I also don’t assume the same elements of my runes are appropriate to speak each week. I did a podcast on this subject, so there’s more info there. (See above)

What does it mean?

Fehu is the rune of wealth, and it visits in season as an indicator to tend what bling we have, and to realize that we have it. Whatever assets we possess, we have to first see them as that to really tend their prosperity, ability to support us, and to meet their needs. After all, it’s all about relationships, and we are indeed in relationship with our stuff. Reciprocity is required. Now’s the time to get right in that relationship and learn what our assets need.

Wunjo underscores this beneficial time. Meaning joy, it tells us the best way we can approach Fehu is with a light heart. I know that’s easier said than done when assets are slim. I know that if it’s difficult to value self or our own efforts to support ourselves, bringing lightness to it all is a challenge as big as figuring out how to sustain self.

Part of the challenge part of joy, even wealth, is other people, dynamics involving more than just ourselves. They screw up everything, am I right? Ansuz reversed hints at this complication, this week. From the perspective of Time, we’re urged to explore the bigness of things, the network-ness. Reversed, this rune indicates currents in which our social system isn’t working properly. It’s not necessarily working against us or even personal to us, though what’s going on with it has repurcussions that complicate personal matters. 

Time suggests we cope with social discord by seeing how it situates into the bigger picture. I always think of time as a human construct, with timing being more of a magickal or awareness component. Either way, both are life force. Both have agency, and that agency pertains to wholeness, sustaining, and all parts functioning on pointe. Our job this week is to hold open awareness of how we situate into such collectiveness, and not sink into either personal or social drama.
