Understanding the Runes: Episode 6 - Kenaz 

Just made me realise that before death there is almost always some great use of energy, they understood it mostly as fever, but you can also see it as war in general, or the energy that goes into creating weapons and their use, such power thrust into a person makes their life force cease. Death from a fever after all is overheating, it's as if overabundance of some kind is a common trend before death. Reminds me of how in the I-ching and taoist philosophy in general something can become so Yin it becomes Yang and vice versa. So much heat your body will go cold, so much motion you will never move again and even so much heartbreak that it will give out and pain you no longer.

I really enjoyed this video, thank you so much! One of the things I enjoyed most, was that you speak about the meaning of the Rune in two of the three Rune poems as being an ulcer, and that which is fatal to children. Most everyone I see posting videos here, and also those who publish books on Runes, only speak of the meaning from the meaning from the old Anglo-Saxon poem as being a torch. I always thought it that was strange. Sort of reminds me of how most everyone speaks of Algiz as meaning an elk, when in two of the three Rune poems, it's meaning is a yew tree, and even in the Anglo-Saxon poem, the meaning is elk sedge, the marsh plant, rather than the animal. Funny what time does to things, eh?

I would love to see you write a book on Galdr and Seidr magic. I think you would make the most informative book on the subject 🤝
