Kaunaz - Rune Number 6
Original meaning: This Rune means a torch, a light, a boil, abscess or ulcer. Usually the meaning is torch but in some interpretations the association with pain or discomfort persists. Another association is cremation along with other sorts of fire like the high temperature of fever or inflammation. Flames (high temperature) are also associated with artistic creativity.
Interpretation: Illumination. A way out into the light is about to present itself. All energy should be used to look out for this opportunity.
Reversed: False hope. Loss of light. Missed opportunity.
