Joy & Harmony
Wunjo is bliss, the rune of joy, harmony and fulfilment. It announces that a wish is ripening and that concord and belonging carry you. Today, allow yourself to rejoice in what is beautiful, and share that happiness with those close to you.
‘Wunjo’ is bliss, joy, concord – linguistically related to the German ‘Wonne’ and the English ‘win’. It stands for happiness and harmony in the community.
The Old English poem says, in essence: joy is enjoyed by the one who knows little sorrow, pain and grief and lives in prosperity and security.
Wunjo closes the first of the three groups of eight (Freyr’s aett) – a reconciling conclusion after strength, protection and the journey.
Like Gebo, Wunjo too belongs only to the Elder Futhark; in the 16-rune row of the Viking Age it is no longer included.
