With the next rune, Gebo (aka Gyfu), we learn to trust in the flow of given and take. This concerns faith in the goodness of the Forces That Be as well as trust in close relationships. The Gebo rune can symbolise the exchange of vows in a wedding ceremony.
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 with suffer. Hence, if Gebo is followed by for instance Naudiz in a relationship rune reading, we could be looking at a relationship that is imbalanced and impoverishing one party who is constantly giving to their beloved because they feel a need to rescue them.
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 honor, which support one’s dignity;
it furnishes help and subsistence
to all broken men who are devoid of aught else.

Gebo Relationship Harmony Tarot Spread Sample Reading
1. You as a giver – 9 of Cups (Jupiter in Pisces): I give because of compassion and I don’t discriminate about who is worthy. I give expecting nothing back. I am a natural giver.
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.
4. Your main gift to the world/your beloved – 2 of Cups (Venus in Cancer): I make a home for my beloved with my love. I keep him safe and stay faithful.

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!
