The Twenty Four Runes of the Elder Futhark

The image above is a scanned copy of a generic bone rune set. The blank rune included with the set has been intentionally omitted. The following is a list of my personal associations with the runes, informed by Rune lore and personal experience.

	Fehu - Energy. Wealth. Ego, and the bullshit that can come with it.
	Uruz - Strength, the above average ability and execution. Toughing it out.
	Thurisaz - Tricky. Obstacles and the means to overcome them. Aggressive protection.
	Ansuz - “Odin’s rune.” Perspective, intellectual consideration. Very mental.
	Rad - The Journey. The road ahead and everything behind. Going the distance.
	Ken - Skills and tools. Pragmatic, what you need to get it done.
	Gebo - “The gift rune.” Exchange, value, trade. Material and energetic.
	Wunjo - Joy and success.
