The rune Gebo signifies partnership or partnerships. These may be of
a romantic or a business nature. Either way, the shape of the rune
emphasizes its meaning as the "X"-shape is formed by two strong lines
supporting each other. Understand from this that partnerships related
to the subject about which this rune is cast may involve mutual support
and benefit both parties.
Gebo can also signify a gift and is sometimes described as the gift
of "freedom", from which all good things flow. (Some texts give Gebo
the English
name "Gift"
rather than "Partnership". Either name
is accurate as Gebo has both associations.)
When a gift is indicated it is often a timely receipt, perhaps in exchange
for something else such that the arrangement benefits all concerned.
Perhaps one of the most memorable points about the rune Gebo is that
it is the only rune still is common use today. It is often used beneath
signatures on greetings cards to represent a "kiss": A helpful aide-memoir
that this rune signifies "relationships" (or see it used on a gift-tag
to recall that Gebo also signifies a gift).
Gebo is a positive rune - it always has the same positive meaning.
