GYFU

This rune is in the shape of the modern symbol for a kiss and not surprisingly is all about love and friendship. In the ancient culture in which the runes developed the exchange of gifts was surrounded by taboos.

Giving and receiving gifts placed a responsibility and an obligation on both parties. A gift of equal value or importance had to be made in exchange and gifts were used to mark the establishment or sealing of an important relationship.

'A gift to the gods' was a euphemism for the offerings or sacrifices the worshipper made to i his deities, usually in exchange for some material benefit. Gyfu teaches us that there will always be a price to pay for knowledge, wisdom or material benefits. Even Odin gave up his eye to attain wisdom.

In a reading this rune could signify a marriage or any partnership between the sexes. , Adversely, it can also predict a false relationship built on shifting sands or one that is destined to be short-lived or is about to end.
