I think I've seen several variants in offiscial publiscions, since I once spent quite a bit of time trying to find out whether the "legs" of the luck rune are supposed to meet, or to form a table.
I think I ended up preferring them to meet, so that the rune can be seen as representing a seesaw or a set of scales (which can go either way).
The idea of the luck rune being one half of fate also seems very fitting. Mostly Holy Country things these, though.
