Hand craefted Offering to Woden is now available on my website.
The Os rune, also known as "ᚩ" in the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc, is often associated with the god Woden (Odin). In the context of runes and Old English literature, Os means "mouth" or "speech" and symbolizes communication, wisdom, and divine inspiration, all attributes closely linked to Woden.
Woden, the chief god in Anglo-Saxon and Norse mythology (where he is known as Odin), is associated with wisdom, magic, poetry, and the esoteric knowledge of the runes. The connection between the Os rune and Woden comes from the rune's symbolic meanings and the god's attributes.
In the Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem, the verse for the Os rune states:
Os byþ ordfruma ælcre spræce,
wisdomes wraþu and witena frofur
and eorla gehwam eadnys and tohiht.
This can be translated as:
Os is the source of all language,
a pillar of wisdom and a comfort to the wise,
and to every noble, joy and trust.
These lines highlight the rune's association with speech and wisdom, reinforcing its link to Woden, who is revered for his eloquence and deep knowledge.
Therefore, the Os rune serves as a fitting symbol for Woden, embodying the qualities of communication, wisdom, and divine inspiration that are central to his character. #osrune #os #woden #odin #anglosaxon #oldenglish #anglosaxonrunepoem #fyp #charmerofherbs #theherbwitchshoppe
