Wyrd - (wErd) The Unknowable
Divinity of all human endeavors

This rune is often called Odin's Rune, though traditionally that honor is held by Ansuz. Some aspects of life are not meant to be known. These unknown areas are governed by the Norns or the three fates of Norse mythology. Unknowable is the beginning, the end unfathomable. Nothing is predestined.

Note: There is some controversy regarding the existence and usage of the blank rune. However, due to the widespread acceptance of the rune, as well as my personal use, I have chosen to leave this rune in play. My reasons for this are many and varied, but the strongest is that quite often those that say nothing are the most wise. Letters could not make words with out a space now and then, sound that never pauses or stops would be noise without end. It is, of course, up to the individual reader to make the decision whether to use this rune or any other.
