"Wunjo"- Wunjo is the rune of joy, encompassing the principles of joy, ecstasy (Wodan is etymologically the god of ecstasy), inner harmony as well as in the clan. Wunjo embodies that sense of joy, belonging, and well-being that comes from the people who you count as your kin. It is found in a welcome hug, in the shared memories you laugh over, in the affectionate names only your partner and family call you by. It promotes harmony of body and mind and can support healing work. Sometimes Wunjo is interpreted as gentle, a caress, or a smile; other times it is closer to ecstasy, bliss, and the fulfillment of personal will. It is also related to wish-making, and the realization of wishes. Its role in both personal ecstasy and communal joy is important, emphasizing the need for happiness on the part of both the individual and the clan – Wunjo enables this difficult balance.
