Ansuz

God, Æsir (Odin's breath). Divine wisdom and inspired communication.

Divine wisdom and communication. Odin speaks through signs around you. Messages, inspiration, and eloquence are heightened. The right word arrives at the right moment.

Miscommunication and deception. Words fail or mislead. Beware of manipulation — and of being manipulated by your own clever speech. Seek silence to find truth.

A rune of teachers, contracts and oaths. Past: words spoken that shaped you. Present: listen to an elder, or to your own deeper voice. Future: a message arrives. Strongly aspected near Mannaz (community) and Raidho (journey).

Odin's rune. The All-Father hung upon Yggdrasil for nine days to receive the wisdom of the runes. Ansuz carries his gift of divine communication, sacred breath and poetic inspiration.
