Othala is the ancestral home: inheritance, family, belonging, and the values and gifts handed down to you. It asks what you've inherited that's worth keeping, and what legacy you want to leave.

Reversed (merkstave): Feeling rootless, or clinging to tradition that no longer serves. Decide what to keep.

What have I inherited that I want to pass on?

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.
