theres a connection between wunjo and pertho. not only does wunjo look like a latin P, but pertho was sometimes written exactly like a latin W. my apologies for sullying the rune thread with ranting about latin letters, but it seems important.
in english, p is for pleasure, as well as 'potty' words that amuse children, and a number of sexual words that amuse adults. the two most sexual colours, purple and pink, are p words. perhaps. plenty. punk. pope.
but this thread is about wunjo. w seems to have taken over the function of pertho. most common question words start with w: what, where, why, when, who. also wyrd, and weird. wacky. weapon? west? well? worse? womb? wiki? wu tang? ok, it doesnt always work. work?
w seems a better wyrd letter. w is weird because its a dual-pronounced letter, at the lips as well as the velum. it also disappears sometimes, woden/odin being a good example. and it can be a vowel, at least in obscure borrowed welsh words like cwm.
both p and w combine with h, p more phruitfully.
i like wunjo as joy because my given name starts with w. although its being ambiguously joyful and weird is interesting too.
on to rune work.
wunjo, with its cap above, makes a circuit of the heavens, but remains grounded. its top heavy, so it must be careful to stand upright. it lacks elemental forces, and its power for change is low. the choice with wunjo is how deeply to bury its shaft: shallow to let the 'flag' wave high, or deep to stabilize it? joy must be handled similarly. advertize it too much and it will become too much to handle. hide it away entirely and it disappears. |
