Hmmm...
What is your Norse Rune for the present
Yr (pronounced Year)Meaning: Male energies, A Bow (made of Yew) Symbolises: Archery, single combat, Skiing, Skating Mythology: Ull The God of Winter Fylgja: Bear, fox Class: Yarl Tree: Yew Old Norwegian Rune Rhyme: Yew is the greenest wood in the winter; There is usually, when it burns, singing. Yr is associated with Ull, the god of winter. He plays very little part in the stories available to us so that we do not know all that much about him. We do know his hall is Ydalir, which means dales where the yews grow. Yew is the direct meaning of this rune, the tree is a poisonous evergreen which commonly grows in country churchyards. We learn most about this rune from the characteristics of the Yew tree and the best known product of its timber, the long bow. As the rune rhyme suggest the yew is a very important tree in winter, it remains green throughout and is very securely rooted. This means that it is a great protector against winter storms. Other evergreens such as pine are not strong enough to stand the driving wind and snow. Yr is a rune of paradoxes, combining life and death, with its roots in the graveyard yet living a very long time. Immense resilience from a combination of outer hardness and inner flexibility. It is a rune that symbolises death, yet it is in facing death with a clam acceptance that gives the best hope of surviving single combat.
