OTHALA sterling silver rune pendant

HAND CARVED STERLING SILVER (OXIDIZED) OTHALA RUNE PENDANT

An ancient alphabetic scripts, each of whose letters possessed a meaningful name as well as a signifying sound, Runes were employed for legal documents, for writing poetry, for inscriptions and divination. The art of the Runes dates back to Viking times and is used to form a bridge between our logical mind and our unconscious. The Runes embody the greatest and the smallest secrets of nature and they are the keys to those secrets – for they are indeed the secrets themselves.

The mystery of Othala is symbolized by the stronghold enclosure of the clan, which defines its holy boundary and serves to defend it against the unholy intruders. It is the essence of the cosmic concept of Midhgardhr - the enclosure in the middle.

The O-rune also is a sign of inborn qualities that are the result of descent from a certain clan or tribe. This is essentially spiritual in origin and is ultimately derived from the divine ancestry plus past action of the ancestors.

It is a symbol of that which is inherited through the generations by the whole clan in both the material and spiritual realms. It is as immovable as the land and cannot be transferred out of the clan/tribe. However, through the institution of marriage those outside the clan have access to its power through integration with it.

Othala is the wise and just management of the land by the noble ones: those possessed of the spiritual power of this rune in accordance with clanic tradition and law.

This is the rune of material prosperity and well-being. It works together with the complementary concept of mobile propertypower contained in the Fehu-rune to develop and maintain this important quality in the multiverse. Othala is the rune that provides human liberty in a secure and lawful society, integrated with itself and with its environment. It is preserved clanic and tribal law on a spiritual level. In Asatru this rune is expressed by the kindred.
