Meaning

Resourcefulness, stored light, and fuel. Stock your hearth; turn small sparks into warmth; find abundance in what you already have.

Gorse/Furze is sun caught in thorn—golden fire stored in spines. Kennings praise brightness, plenty, and fuel. It is resourcefulness, gathering light, and finding warmth in sparse places.
