Kenaz is the flame of understanding: learning, skill, craftsmanship and creative passion. It brings clarity where there was confusion, and it's a lovely rune for artists, students and anyone making something with their hands.

Reversed (merkstave): A fading spark, creative block, or something kept hidden. Rekindle what inspires you.

What lights me up that I haven't made time for?

Rune reading is a reflective practice rooted in Norse and Germanic tradition. It doesn't predict a fixed future. You're always the one who decides.
