The Binding Power Of Blæd, Blyss And Byrg Geniht

Last night before going to bed, as per my usual procedure, I drew rune to discern and draw forth the energy of the Universe at work in my life at this particular time in the particular circumstance driving the divination. Interestingly, the rune I drew perfectly supported the entry (Linking Worlds In Conversation With The Universe) I had posted earlier that same evening.

The rune I drew was the bind-rune Wunjo, the w-rune characterized by joy, hope, harmony, pleasure and delight. Significant to my earlier entry, the cosmic function of Wunjo is to strengthen links and bonds. Edred Thorsson writes in Futhark, "Wunjo is the energy that binds different fields of force together." He further writes in Runelore, "the Wunjo describes the inner, subjective feeling one attains when in a state of inner/outer harmony - with self and environment. This is an active willed harmony toward specific evolutionary goals. The Wunjo marshalls diverse but sympathetic forces and/or beings to a common purpose."

Thorsson writes that three things determine the winning of Wunjo in Germanic tradition - the runester will have acquired:

1] blæd - prosperity (as it pertains to the inflow and outflow of soul energy)

2] blyss - to be filled with a sense of meaningfulness and joy

3] byrg geniht - a good house/enclosure for the soul

The first time I have drawn Wunjo in a divination, Wunjo now becomes the twenty-second rune (including the wyrd rune) in my personal runerow.
