Wunjo (ᚹ) — Joy, Harmony, Clan-Joy

Wunjo (ᚹ), eighth and final rune of Freyr's ætt, is the rune of wynn — joy, bliss, and the perfection of communal harmony. The Old English Rune Poem declares: 'Wenne brúceþ ðe can wēana lýt, sāres and sorge' — joy is had by the one who knows few woes, suffering, and sorrow. Wunjo is specifically the joy of the meadhall, the warmth of kinsmen gathered around the hearth-fire after battle. As the closing rune of the first ætt, it represents the fulfillment that comes when Fehu's wealth has been properly circulated through Gebo's gift-exchange and received in fellowship.
