CEN

The image of this rune signifies a blazing torch, flame or lantern so it therefore represents enlightenment and illumination. Fire is also symbolic of creativity and we talk of the flame of inspiration that burns in the hearts of writers, poets and artists.

The word 'Cen' can also be linked to Old English, Norse and German words that mean cunning or to know, as in the popular terms cunning man or wizard (wise man) for an old time magician.

Cen is related to the birth of new ideas and concepts from the fire of the forge. Fire was one of the earliest gifts to humankind from the gods, though often the light-bearer suffered for his act.

If interpreted in an esoteric way it could mean that the querent will contact his spirit guide. Above all, this is a rune of creativity and could refer to either the birth of a new idea or project or even the conception of a child as a gift from God.
