Gebo
Phoneme: G · Deity: Odin / Gefjon
UPRIGHT
Gift, generosity, exchange, partnership, sacred obligation of giving
MERKSTAVE
No reversed meaning — Gebo is symmetrical. Its shadow is obligation that becomes bondage.
LORE
The X shape — two forces meeting in equal exchange. In Norse culture, a gift always demanded a gift in return. Gebo binds giver and receiver in a bond that transcends commerce.
