I was born at 1:15 AM on Sept 21st. I would assume that makes Gifu my rune and if so that makes a lot of sense I am extremely tied to this rune in a major way. Our Midsummer ritual is ...well the prayer I wrote is : We gather tonight to celebrate the rite of midsummer, to honor the kindred and to see the world through the prism of life shining with all perspectives.  The prayer of sacrifice is about being granted the gift to see. The votive offering I made is in wood with black paint and over that is a big red X in the X is the word gift in elder. Below that in elder says A gift. One the other side it says for a gift. I bound the two runes for vision on each border in red then painted over them again in black. Below  I attached a small part of the Havamal to read before throwing it into the fire.  As I said I am extremely tied to Gifu.

Gifu is a wonderful rune to be born under as there is not negative aspect to it.  It is drawn with two Kenaz's one upside down next to and upright one.  It goes back into the traditional Norse belief of a gift should always be returned with another.

Ok I know I'm going to have to look this up as well, but......

Born at unknown time, on 26 August, 1953 so that would put me under influences of As and Rad runes am I correct here ?


Draconis

According to that table, I fall under the Rune of Man.  Born April 17 at 9:50.  I should read up on that particular rune.
