Meaning

Protection and quickened perception. Trust your omens; craft small, practical wards; make shrewd, low-drama choices.

Rowan’s lore is bright red berries and starry protection. Traditional kennings speak of quickening and sight—rowan amulets as wards against malice. It is the ‘second light’ of winter: foresight, omen-reading, and nimble defense.
