Runic energies, like archetypes, become easy to spot in our literature and media, once you know what to look for. These may be balanced or unbalanced expression of the rune energy. Here are just a few examples:
Fehu- Scrooge McDuck, from Ducktales. Pretty self-explanatory. He hoards gold and is all about making money.
Uruz- The Incredible Hulk is a nice example of the pure physical strength aspect of this rune.
Thurisaz- This pretty much sums up the main theme of CSI as a whole. Artemis Entreri from R.A. Salvatore's Drizzt novels is a good example of unbalanced Thurisaz energy.
Ansuz- Gandalf is a good example of this rune.
Raidho- This rune runs all through the anime Saiyuki and the folk-legend Journey West.
Hagalaz- pretty much any disaster movie contains the major them of impersonal destruction. Examples include Deep Impact, Dante's Peak, Outbreak and The Day After Tomorrow.
Nauthiz- In the show House, M.D., House and Wilson represent opposing aspects of this rune. House 'needs' people, even as he pushes them away. He is balanced by Wilson, who has a deep need to 'be needed.' The same applies to Sherlock and Watson, in the show Sherlock. And, well, any manifestation of the Great Detective. Neelix, from Star Trek Voyager, is another good example of the ‘being needed’ aspect of this collective.
Perthro- Episode 11 of Deep Space Nine's second season, Rivals, focuses on probability and luck.
