A Word on 'Othel'

OTHEL is the last Rune of the series and in many ways it is the antithesis of the first runic symbol FEOH at where FEOH represents money, OTHEL represents the things that money can buy. OTHEL is also associated with money from an upcoming death, such as a will, trust fund, or pension.

Othel, the twenty fourth rune, is the embodiment of family. This needs little explanation, the aspect of life involving companionship and kinship.

Othel is the place where you live, and the word also signifies things you may have inherited. It is the rune of home. Othel has to with being part of a community, to belong somewhere - and to live according to the roots of culture or family tradition.
