Gebo

Gebo is one of the most curious runes. In the Nordic lore, the Cosmic Law of Compensation is written as ‘Better not to over-pledge as a gift demands a gift’, and ‘No man is so generous he will jib at accepting a gift in return for a gift. Every decision you make requires the acceptance of one thing and simultaneous sacrifice or release of another. Gebo is also tied deeply to the exchange of sexual energies between male and female, and so it deeply governs mystical union, sacred oaths of marriage and sex magic.
