Step 7 of 12 · The Making of the Worlds

Kenaz

Modern interpretation

Why this step

Kenaz is the torch. On this site it is controlled fire, the kind that lights rather than destroys: knowledge, creativity and the small flame that lets you see clearly in a dark room. Its reversed reading is fire that has escaped its container and burns something it shouldn’t. Next to Muspell, the rune draws a line the creation story leaves open, between fire that makes and fire that consumes.
