POSSIBLE DIVINATORY MEANING: Sometimes this rune indicates giving up something to acquire an inheritance whether it be materialistic or spiritualistic. It is a sum of wealth that cannot be moved such as land or the ancestral home. It can also refer to traits inherited from ancestors, e.g. you have a strong artistic ability and then discover so did Great Aunt or Great Uncle so and so! It can be a search for your roots. Who were your ancestors? Where did you come from? It becomes a quest to know the answers. Avoid doing excess. Don't spend in excess. Don't eat too much. Also check the bookkeeping and accounting on a bill when monthly payments are about to be paid off. Money may be owed to you because of overpayment! Sometimes money is found in the strangest places such as refunds on deposits, overpayments, or was hidden somewhere you forget, etc. This could be a warning not to spend unnecessarily. Balance your check book - check your investments. Is everything sound? Is your will up to date? Insurance paid up? Check on all financial loose ends and postpone any large purchase that could put you in debt.
