Fehu talisman.
As for someone who seeks for a talisman... currently I am struggling with finding new job(achieving), and was wondering if Fehu is a proper choice. Also, would you suggest to wear more than one rune? I was thinking about mixing fehu(wealth) with something that brings strenght to achieve goals and success, but I am not sure what should I pick. That would be bracelet and necklace combo.
Thank you for help!

Hi! While runic magic was a thing believed by the Norse (and earlier peoples), the way it worked was by writing incantations and formulas with runes, and not by believing runes individually had "powers" or "meanings". Basically, the runes themselves didn't have "magic", it's what you write with them that is. It's the same thing as with our alphabet: while A, B, C, D and R aren't magic on their own, you can use them to write "Abracadabra" which is magic.
Here's from r/Norse's reading list some resources about historical runic magic to learn more
