The torch is known to every man
by its bright white flame; always burn
next to where the prince sits.
Old runic poem
The Kano Rune
The use of the Viking runes (from the root ' run- ' of the ancient Gothic, translated as ' secret ' or ' whisper ') mainly comprised writing in the ancient Germanic languages, especially in the islands of Great Britain and the region from Scandinavia , although it eventually expanded to the regions of Eastern and Central Europe during the Middle Ages . According to ancient Scandinavian beliefs, the origin of these runes comes from the gods. It is a gift that Odin gives to men.
These runes were also used for magical purposes . According to beliefs, they have the ability to materialize invocations and spells written on objects. And thanks to the German-Austrian writer Guido von List, and his system of modern divination of armanen runes, the power of the Viking runes has come to us today.
This time, we will talk about the Kano rune .
Mythology of the Rune Kano
Kano (also 'Kaun', 'Kaunan', Ken ' or ' Kenaz ') is the old Norse for the rune that represents the letter ' k ' in our alphabet. And it translates as 'torch'.
Thus, the Kano rune is the pagan symbol of the sun. The Celts had the tradition of lighting fires in solstices and equinoxes, which remained intact until the Middle Ages.
It is also the symbol of fire on earth, the light that comes on at birth. And also the symbol of impermanence. That every fire must reach its inevitable end, and every body will return to the land from which it came.
Meaning of the Rune Kano
This rune tells us about beginnings, about rebirth after sacrifice. The life after death.
The revelations are also represented by the Kano rune, where the light that emanates gives new form to things. Dark feelings and sensations also give way and with them doubts and regrets.
It is a time for action. The beginning must be given, because things will have greater clarity.
When the Kano rune is inverted, then your plans have to be overshadowed. You may be experiencing a moment of darkness, and renewal will be urgent. It is also a good time to ask questions. Well, that way you will get to the root of your problems, and solve them.
Deciding the search for light is a very important first step. As much as you feel your projects stop, the change will always be positive. The Kano rune has a transforming force that can take things to new horizons. But you must be open enough to accept it.
Accept and take advantage of this phase. Well you can decide to project the light in your life . And this will be the intelligent decision, because where the light makes its way, the darkness must yield.
Remember that well taken advantage of, every difficult moment is a great learning stage.
And that always on the other side of darkness awaits enlightenment.
