Fehu
Cattle, wealth, resources in motion: abundance is meant to circulate — invest it, share it, use it.
Fehu is literally 'cattle' — and in the early Germanic world cattle were money that walked. A herd could be traded, gifted or lost overnight, so Fehu came to stand for wealth in its most fluid form: earnings, luck and property that only keeps its value while it keeps moving.
Fehu opens the Elder Futhark: it is the first rune of the first aett, traditionally called Freyr's aett after the god of plenty. In a daily draw it points the lens at resources — what you are earning, spending and feeding — and asks whether your abundance is circulating or silting up.
