Eihwaz
The yew tree: endurance, roots in both worlds and reliable strength through change.
About this tool
Eihwaz is the yew: the evergreen of graveyards and the wood of the great war bows, poisonous and life-prolonging at once. Many see in it the world-tree itself — an axis with roots below and crown above, holding both realms in one trunk.
Thirteenth in the futhark, fifth of the second aett, Eihwaz reads as backbone in a daily draw: the resource is endurance, the tactic is rooting down. Change is coming either way; the yew's advice is to bend without letting go of the ground.
Draw your own sign for the day — the free tool picks one of the 24 Elder Futhark runes with honest randomness, entirely inside your browser.
Example. One click selects a single Elder Futhark rune and shows its glyph image, name, and meaning text.
Limit. The draw is one rune from a fixed set of 24, with no multi-rune cast and no date lock.
