Keep reading this article about the Fehu rune!

What does the Fehu rune mean?

The Fehu rune means abundance. Basically, Fehu is the land of abundance, the earthly paradise, the golden age; it is the warm and protective clothing of the mother, that sense of unity and completeness that man has always sought.

Fehu is the birth of the Audhumla Cow, who by licking ice, creates life and also nourishes it with its milk. It represents lush cornfields, trees laden with fruit, a sea full of fish, children playing and running, and busty women holding life in their lap.

Fehu represents the first form of nourishment: economic security, which in ancient times included cattle, goats, cows, and sheep.

The rune image resembles an animal with two horns, such as the Audhumla Cow. The Fehu rune is related to the goddess Freya and her brother and lover Freyr. Freya is the Nordic goddess of the Vani lineage, goddess of beauty, love, magic, seduction, and fertility but also of war and death.

Her animals are the hawk, which she takes the form of to fly between worlds, the cat, an independent animal with sensual movements, a lover of the night and the home, and the sow, fertile and prosperous. The wild boar, in addition to the horse, is instead an animal sacred to Freyr, the sylvan god of nature, its cycles, peace, love, and fertility; for this reason, he is often depicted with an erect phallus.

The Navigator God, he possesses the magical ship Skidbladnir, fast and light, which can be folded and slipped into his pocket, and a sword capable of fighting alone and which increases the power of the warrior. Fehu represents abundance, fertility, and wealth.

It is the moist, enveloping Earth, the maternal womb from which life is born, warm, welcoming, a safe and protected place, devoid of any danger or fear. It is the place where there is no illness, no sadness or need; everything is in abundance, everything is shared with generosity and love.

Fehu is associated with wealth and prosperity, but not monetary or cumulative, the greedy one who piles up goods after goods uselessly. Fehu is the wealth earned through work, it is abundance shared with generosity, it is joy in giving and receiving. When this rune comes out upright, it indicates a good relationship with money and the possibility of being fulfilled, of living in abundance in complete tranquility.

There could be successes in the workplace, a new promotion, or the beginning of a new love story. As for health, it recommends some relaxation, to take some time for yourself but also to share your joy with friends and family.

Fehu meaning if upright

If in the divination phase, this rune comes out upright and if, in the light of the contingent factors, it can present a positive connotation, it means that money or possessions are looming on the horizon. This could be a win in a game, a gift that the querent is about to receive, or sentimental or even of spiritual achievements of fulfilled ambitions.

It also speaks of generosity and is related to the desire to share one’s possessions with others; it represents the spirit of sacrifice, solidarity, altruism, and inner peace. Ultimately, you will see your desires fulfilled, but it recommends learning to share your fortune to preserve your spiritual well-being as well.

Fehu meaning if reversed

If, on the other hand, the rune is upside down, it can be interpreted as a warning that requires you to not indulge in whims or reckless expenses in order not to jeopardize your safety and future, or as a proposal to reflect on life and how, despite your social and professional successes, you can sometimes feel frustrated.

Fehu advises investigating the causes of the malaise (perhaps the consultant is not satisfied with the work he does, he feels the need to see an objective reached whose realization has been postponed for too long, or he feels the need to devote more time to himself, his family, and his aspirations).

Fehu meaning in love, work, and health

Love: announces the enjoyment of pleasant moments of love and unexpected and exciting sentimental experiences.

Work: meetings, interviews, and new projects open up attractive professional prospects and interesting opportunities in the economic field.

Health: indicates that you are in good health and recommends, to preserve it, to take care of your diet and to find free time to rest.
