History and folklore
Fehu means cattle, which for early Germanic peoples was the main measure of wealth. Our knowledge comes largely from the medieval rune poems: the Old English poem says wealth is a comfort to all, but each must share it freely to win honor, and the Norse poems warn that wealth causes strife among kin. Modern rune readers treat Fehu as earned abundance and energy in motion. Honor its roots in Norse and Germanic tradition, and remember its lesson of generosity.
