Fehu (pronounced, "fay-who") is the first rune of Freyr's aett, and the first rune of the Elder Futhark. The word fehu means, "cattle." In Viking society, livestock were a measure of an individual's success and ability to provide for the needs of the community. Fehu can represent wealth, property, prosperity, abundance, new beginnings (kinda), financial strength in the present or near future, fertility, and luck/hamingja. This rune is very helpful in spells involving prosperity, fertility, and money.
Rune Secrets says this about Fehu: "Fehu is actually the rune of ‘luck’. The universe is not so much made up by chance, as by luck. Luck is a hidden but real energy field inherent in your ‘hamingja’. Fehu governs the capacity to hold this luck and use it like a magical ability. This basic energy, your accumulated luck, is the foundation of the wealth and power in your life."
