Gebo means "gift," whether it is a present, an attribute, or a certain skill or ability. To the ancients, a gift always called for another in return. Accepting a gift placed you under an obligation to the giver - the gods, destiny, or another person. Gebo can also mean a partnership or union, in business or in love. It can mean forgiveness — perhaps the greatest gift of all — to give or to receive. Gebo is commonly used as the sign of a kiss - the symbol of affection.

A gift presents you with the choice of acceptance or rejection. If you accept you must be prepared to give in return. Everything has its price, but with spiritual gifts, the cost is always worth it in the end. You must find the balance between giving and receiving and learn to give responsibly. This means deciding when to give and who to give to, as it is not appropriate to give to everyone indiscriminately

Gebo is an equal partnership, understanding, and respect for each other. What is needed now is not a leader that will lead everyone but well-coordinated cooperation that will provide a positive and quick result.
