Rune Stones:
Fehu
Here is where you can learn about the rune of Possessions,
Fehu.
Fehu is directly related to physical
possessions.  Most of us are familiar
with the tales of the great warriors
who took to ships with dragons on the
prow and sails of striped red and
white.  What we tend to forget in all
the warrior discussions of these
industrious folk, is that the Viking were
also farmers and herders of cattle.  
Not all Norsemen went a-Viking.   At
one time a Viking with a herd of cattle
was valued even more than a Viking
with a ship to go a-Viking in.

Fehu reminds us that comfort is not a bad
thing.  If we’ve worked for it and earned it
honestly, we can justifiably relax and enjoy our
just rewards.  Fehu reminds us that we need to
ensure that we have consolidated the gains we
have achieved ere we loose them through
neglect.

Zodiac Sign:  With it’s obvious alignment with cattle, mighty Taurus from the
Zodiac steps into the world of Runes indicating a strong foundation and desire
for material comfort.

Tarot Link:  Fehu reminds us of her transformational properties by her
alignment with the Tarot card of The Tower.

Color:    Fehu is aligned with the color red.

Polarity:  Fehu is considered a feminine polarity.  Receptive in nature Fehu
reminds us to receive as well as give.

Healing Property:  Those suffering from chest and/or respiratory problems
would benefit from Fehu’s energy.  

Modern Letter Counterpart:  Fehu is aligned with the modern alphabet letters
of F or V.

Special Runic Associations:  Fehu’s importance is highlighted in it’s being
included in three of the four Runic Groupings.  Lending it’s energy to Physical
Healing, Protection, and Financial Help, Fehu’s strength is the power of the
self becoming truly aware, although actual awareness has yet to be achieved.
“Southernn Cross”, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young sang “we never failed to
fail, it was the easiest thing to do.”  Fehu is asking you to look within yourself to
see if you are setting yourself up for failures because for some failure is easier
to accept than achievement.

Joy is a treasured state to achieve.  However, it is easy to drown oneself in
joyfulness and forget that there is trouble in the world.  One who drowns
themselves in joyfulness doesn’t allow the signals of the world to be seen, and in
a short while the bubble they protect themselves with is burst and everything
crashes in around them!  Fehu reminds us to take joy in the moment while we
look to the future with our eyes open and honest intent in our heart.  When Fehu
appears, celebrate.  Your life as is may not be all sunshine and roses, but there
sure is a cup of nectar to sip from if you look for it.

Fehu - Possessions

Fehu belongs to the Aett aligned with Freyr.
 

Key Word(s):  Cattle, prosperity, possessions, and nourishment are all
keywords for focused meditation when working with Fehu’s energy.

Element:  Fehu is aligned with the elements of Fire and Earth and has a special
affiliation with the Full Moon.

Linked to the ox, and by extension the cow, Fehu speaks of
nourishment.  Nourishment can be for the physical body (as in the
milk of the cow), but it also can be an emotional nourishment (as
in the milk of human kindness).  Normally portending a time of
good fortune and positive energy flow, Fehu challenges you to live
up to the moment.

Fehu is considered by modern Rune Masters to be the “love
rune.”  Actually it is one of numerous Runes who share this
distinction.  If Fehu has turned up in your spread today, make sure to look at
the love relationships (which need not have anything to do with romantic love) in
your life to see if more attention is needed.  Fehu reminds you to make time for
the important things in life – those people that mean so much to you.

When you see this rune you are being challenged to determine whether or not
the balance you create in your life is the balance you want to have.  Are your
actions truly taking you towards the happiness you feel you deserve?  Are you
intentionally stopping yourself from achieving the goals you set?  In the song,
