Roe (a runic throwback)
The names we have for things in nature have always intrigued me. They tell us something about our history as a species as well as revealing our complex relationship with it. After discovering that the earliest record of an Anglo-Saxon word was found written in runes on the back of a roe deer's hoof and simply read, "roe", I can't help but feel more of an ancient connection with this native species.
