casting runes — 25jan26

ingwaz
oh sure, they said
put your head inside, they said
inside, you'll find a grand surprise

it was all the rage, & so we did
one cinch, one twist
& we pushed dead

A rune poem, based on an Elder Futhark rune selected at random.

Today’s rune is ingwaz, a rune named after the god Ing or Freyr. It is representative of a channeled energy or transformational process. It is also be seen as the male component of life, and therefore a symbol of sexual passions and the contributed “seed” of life (and, therefore, an aspect of one’s ancestral ørlǫg, or fate/destiny). Some interpretations conceive the rune as a symbol of darkness, solitude or dreaming.

Please visit my Elder Futhark pages at sceadugenga.com for additional interpretations of the runes based on multiple references and personal reflection.
