DEFINITION:
The fifth rune of the Elder Futhark, representing the letter R.
R. W. V. Elliott translates this rune as "riding" or "journey," which has been the accepted interpretation in runic circles as the meaning of this rune. Riding has the more symbolic connotations of creating movement, generating motion, taking charge of situations, being in control, taking the initiative, starting a new venture, decision-making or directing a course of action.
