.....The source of the meaning behind Kano is one of the most deeply shrouded in the runic system. The rune's two names, "torch" and "sore, boil or swelling", seem to be totally unrelated to each other. This can be traced back to how the germanic people used to prepare their dead for burial. Originally this was to leave the body to rot until the bones could be seperated from the flesh......In order to prepare the person for initiation or death rites. Later, this sepearation of flesh from bones was done by fire - thus the two different names.

Kano governs the primal craft of the smith and all works of knowledge crafted into action. It's work is that of cleansing followed by transformation. Kano is the rune of the fire element.
