Rune for the season


Salutations The Rune for this season is Wunjo. It is a symbol of joy and success. It is also the origin of the word joy.

Wunjo, when upright, is a very positive rune. The ancient’s defined joy as someone who has few worries, is blessed and has a good home. Roughly translated, it is being in tune with your body, mind and soul.

Wunjo (Woon-yo)



Other Names: Wynja, Wynn, Wyn

Great happiness, high spirits, joy, pleasure, satisfaction

Characteristics

Understanding, realization of ambition, success in romance
and good health. Partnerships flourish. New beginnings are
blessed with joyfulness. Your eyes are opened to the truth.
Wunjo is linked to a reward, a feeling of goodness and
satisfaction, peaceful winning, and ultimate achievement. It
contains the idea of everything going well because you are
in total harmony with life. Wunjo also implies close cooperation
and companionship with other people, because joy
is not usually a solitary emotion. When so much of life can
be negative, it is important to allow Wunjo’s joy to reach
into every part of your life.

Personal Interpretation

Happiness is yours if you are willing to work for it. You must
strive for balance and harmony in your life. Always look for
solutions rather than dwell on problems. For happiness to last, it
must be founded on truth and honesty. Hide from the truth and you
hide from true happiness. Seek only what is good and right, and
good fortune cannot fail to follow.

Reverse: Misunderstanding. Ambition stalled. Romantic or partnership difficulties. Not a good time for new ventures.

Converse: The truth is hidden from you. Success is elusive - work hard. Imagined love is false. Partnerships under strain through secretive behavior.

Happiness and joy, glory. The battle well-fought and won. A wand. Prosperity and
good fellowship. Peacefulness.

There is a term in Anglo-Saxon, "wuldortanas", which is "glory twigs." which
many experts associate with the rune.

It is especially good in bind runes for ensuring victory. Old Norse _vend_or
Vindr, "Wind." As such wynn, or vend, can be visualized as a wind-vane, which
shows "which direction the wind is blowing." Wend, also means to change the
direction of something, to turn or to run with or against the wind. To change
one situation into another, is another use of Wunjo both magically and in
divination. It is, in its essence, that which is favorable.

This rune also suggests the peaceful joy found in the shamanic ecstatic state of
bliss, that place where the spirit can travel and experience a pleasure and
peace that the body cannot travel to. In this, there are many joy's, that of
love, sexual, a simple contentedness or at ease. Wunjo can promote these things
and indicate a time of favor. For this reason, Wunjo appears significantly in
sex magicks in that attempt to promote the harmony of forces between two people
and their energy, as well as the increase of energy to achieve ecstatic bliss.

Divination: Favorable time ahead, the victory in a struggle, calm waters..
potentially a happy love.

Magickal: Promote accord in energies, increase favorable outcomes, build
energies in that of emotions.

Rune Poem: Verse VIII

He enjoys Delight who knows little of
woe,
Of suffering and sorrow,
And has for his own prosperity, pleasure,
Eke the plenty of cities

Modern Rune Poem

It is bliss to reach the state of happiness;
No suffering, no sorrows, great joy.
To have the necessities of life
And to be able to help others
Even in a reversal of fortune
One who is truly free
Can still find joy
In this world and in other realms.
