Gebo (aka Gyfu), signifies learning to stay in a healthy flow of giving and taking. This concerns faith in the goodness of the Creator/God force and trust in relationships with other humans and/or spirit guides. The Gebo rune can symbolise vows of service to the divine as well as marriage vows.
The word Gebo means ‘gift,’ so this rune is about giving and receiving and also about knowing that there has to be harmony in this flow, or the relationship will suffer. Hence, if Gebo is followed by, for instance, Naudiz in a relationship reading, we could be looking at an imbalanced relationship. One party could be constantly overgiving because they feel a need to rescue their partner, or they hope that giving more will make them more lovable.
The Gebo rune also allows us to examine how we are a gift to the world around us and how we can best use our innate gifts for the Highest Good.
The Tarot correspondences are Justice, The Lovers and 6 of Pentacles.
The Anglo-Saxon rune poem for Gebo/Gyfu:
Generosity brings credit and honour, which support one’s dignity;
it furnishes help and subsistence
to all broken men who are devoid of aught else.

2. How to modify or improve your giving – Death (Scorpio): I need better boundaries, and I need to learn to just say no, without a need to justify.
3. How to build more trust – Ace of Wands (Fire): My communication needs to be more frank and direct. I need to remember how powerful I am since I default to giving my power away as well.

Lisa, good morning.
First, I want to thank you for all these Runic Tarot Spreads.
Frankly, I always thought that I could never connect with the Runes, then a very dear friend, who would also avail herself of my Psychic Services, and who is currently a Spirit Therapist, offered Classes in Palmistry, Runes, and Clairvoyance. I learned a great deal from her.
It is also no coincidence that I have been actively giving Rune Castings professionally for a few years now, and, since last month, began offering Rune Castings, along with Palm Readings (as well as Tarot and Oracle Card Readings) at the Metaphysical store in Beacon, New York, where I “guest Read.”
The Thurisaz video and accompanying WordPress Blog post should be live and published by no later than next Monday, October 8, 2018, which is the date of the New Moon in Libra.
And yes, I would love to do the others, too, but as I AM fond of saying and doing, “one thing at a time.”
May the Goddess forever provide you and yours with Peace, Health, and Plenty.
Thanks Robert, how cool that you can do palmistry too. I’d love to learn that! I look forward to seeing your Thurisaz Tarot reading next week. Goddess blessings in return!
