  1. Today's Rune:

    ᛇ - Eihwaz

    Transliterated as "ï" — meaning "yew" from Proto-Germanic Ē2haz/Ē2waz and Old English Éoh.

    The Old English rune poem:

    ᛇ Eoh bẏþ utan unſmeþe treoƿ,
    heard hruſan fæſt,
    hẏrde fẏreſ,
    ƿẏrtrumun underƿreþẏd,
    ƿẏn on eþle.

    Translated:

    The yew is a tree with rough bark,
    hard and fast in the earth,
    supported by its roots,
    a guardian of flame and a joy on native land.
