What does the Perthro rune mean?
Perthro (ᛈ, pronounced "per-throh") is the rune of mystery, fate, letter P of the Elder Futhark and part of Heimdall's Aett. Its keywords are mystery, fate, chance, hidden things. Perthro is the dice-cup or lot-casting vessel — the rune of fate, chance, and mystery. It governs the hidden workings of wyrd, the secrets not yet revealed, and the moment when concealed things come suddenly to light. Perthro is deeply tied to divination itself, to initiation, and to the unknowable turns of fortune. It asks you to trust what cannot yet be seen, to remain open to revelation, and to accept that some threads of destiny are cast from the cup beyond your sight — luck, karma, and mystery all shaken together.
