POSSIBLE DIVINATORY MEANING: Very optimistic Rune in beginnings or renewals.  Can signify healing is on the way.  In matters of the heart, there is a possibility of commitment.  Otherwise, more positive overtones in a relationship can develop. The Scottish word Ken meant "to know" but the Old English word meant "to see."  Ken can also mean that one is on the right path to discovery, but it is the heart that is doing the guiding.  Your inner voice knows, listen to it's intelligence and conscious awareness. Can indicate protection from worries and good coming into your life. Could signify an ending, a loss, a delay or blockage in progress.  In matters of the heart, a possible realization it was never meant to be.  Not a good time for business opportunities.  It is not uncommon for confusion to obscure thoughts or answers to existing problems so ......................Light a candle in your mind.  YOU DO KNOW!  Use your intuition.  You probably know the answer from your inner self.
