As with Ansuz last week, Kenaz looks different from the Elder to the Younger Futharks. In the Elder Futhark, Kenaz looks vaguely like a letter C, written without curves. The Younger Futhark actually looks more like its meaning, a torch. (In the Anglo-Saxon Futhorcs, Kaun tends to look the same as in the Elder Futhark.) […]
This story originally ran from December 10 through December 12 on Twitter.
Today's story involves a conversation between Kenaz the Cook, a character inspired by the rune of Fire, and Fundis, dwarven daughter of King Nordri of Nidhavelir.

Kenaz is a servant in Fehu’s home. She keeps the hearthfire burning, and lights the torches each night to keep the village well lit. She has a fiery temper, and a wooden spoon with which to express her anger. That said, she is matronly. Kenaz is the rune of the fire which warms the home, […]
The Fours have this sense of anticipation to them. They are like Isa and Othala, but with a little bit of Kenaz and Naudhiz burning underneath them. I will discuss the cards in the order of the ages of the people in the pictures. The Four of Cups shows a young person, who gets married […]
Almost every card in the suit of Swords can be thought of as Thurisaz. Thurisaz is the rune of conflict. Thurisaz is the rune of Thor swinging Mjolnir in his fights with the giants. It is also the rune of the fallout from those wars, the pain and heartache of those who stay at home. […]
Uruz decided to do something special for Fehu. They had been married for many years, celebrating their way through the summers and surviving the winters together. Uruz wanted to let his beautiful bride know how much he still loved her. First he went to Raidho the traveler, and bought some of those sweet candies Raidho […]
Today's story involves a bit of verbal sparring between King Mannaz and King Nordri. While Nordri is mentioned in the Eddas, we don't know much about him. Mannaz is based on the rune Mannaz, a rune of mankind, leadership, and cooperation. #futharkvillage @CeruliasCircle — Perseus Greenman (@futharkvillage) November 20, 2019 King Nordri sat himself down […]
Today's story focuses on Kenaz. While two of the rune poems describe Kenaz as an ulcer, harmful to children, today's story focuses on her aspect as warming and protecting fire. The runes are interesting in that fire is protective, and ice (Hagalaz/hail) is destruction. pic.twitter.com/MQgRnaOkFZ — Perseus Greenman (@futharkvillage) November 12, 2019 It had taken […]
Today's story contains a conversation between Laguz the Sailor and Othala the Historian. Laguz is a rune of deep emotions, being carried along by the tide, and, you know, water. Othala is the rune of ancestral home, and she is a bit torn up about its loss.#futharkvillage pic.twitter.com/e3KidLgEOF — Perseus Greenman (@futharkvillage) November 6, 2019 […]
