The rune of the day

One rune for today. No second throw.

Every day one sign of the Elder Futhark appears here. The same one for everyone who comes today. Not because it «predicts the day». But to leave you one image and one question for one day. Tomorrow there will be a different rune.

Today — Perthro

mystery • chance • fate

Perthro comes when not everything can be known in advance.

From the old poem

Peorð byþ symble plega and hlehter

The Old English Rune Poem · 9th century or earlier

This is the old image we begin from. Not a ready-made prediction for today. Not a universal «meaning of Perthro». Simply what has survived the centuries — and what you can stay with now.

The question for today

What are you trying to control that belongs to chance?

Do not hurry to answer. Perhaps the answer will come at once. Or perhaps the question will stay with you until evening.

Why can’t you draw another one?

Because then it is a different ritual. The rune of the day is set by the date itself. Today — one. Tomorrow — the next. There is no «try again» button until something nicer comes up. The point is precisely to live a day with one sign.

If you want to ask your own question and draw your own rune — that is already a reading.
