A Brief Description of the Runes: Wyrd

Rune Name: Wyrd (pronounced “weird”)

Image: A blank rune. 

Literal Translation / Meaning: 

In Norse mythology, “Wyrd” was the word for the Norns, three sisters—Urdhr, Verthani, and Skuld—who represented past, present, and future. They were considered to be masters of the art of Divination (Peschel, 30). The rune itself is a relatively recent addition to Futhark. In fact, some practitioners don’t even include it in their castings.  

Symbolic Meaning / What It Means in a Casting: 

The concept of Wyrd basically ties into that of Fate. If drawn in a casting, it typically means that the question / problem stated is in the hands of higher powers. Some casters also interpret this rune as sort of a “blank slate,” or new beginning. It has neither positive nor negative connotations. Lisa Peschel, in her book A Practical Guide to the Runes: Their Uses in Divination and Magick, mentions that one should think of Wyrd as a “void.” Though most of us consider voids to be empty, in this case, it can represent everything as well as nothing.
