#TuesdayRunes – Ingwaz

Welcome to another segment of our journey through the ElderFuthark Runes!

Today’s rune is Ingwaz (eeng-wahz). Ingwaz is the rune of the fertility god, Ing, and is associated with masculine sexuality and male potency.

This rune is the springtime energy of plant life emerging after the depths of winter, and the procreation of all life on Earth. Depending on the context of a reading, drawing Ingwaz may indicate a healthy and hearty sexual relationship.

However, it can also refer more generally to a procreative energy being channeled through specific means, such as a project, a business endeavor, or a journey. Whatever is propelling you forward in a positive way at the moment, Ingwaz is acknowledging and confirming that the energy behind it is potent and heading for substantial results.

As a related meaning, Ingwaz also symbolizes completion. An old phase of your life is coming to an end, freeing up the energy for the new phenomena to enter your experience. Problems are resolved or about to be solved and great relief follows.

It may also be signaling that you are reaching your full potential in the matter at hand and that it’s time to let go and let the situation play itself out. Trust that you have done the necessary work – the energy you’re feeling around this is ultimately positive and relief is in sight.

Ingwaz is widely considered a highly auspicious rune, signaling a major event or turning point in your life that leads to satisfying results. A dream may very well be coming true.

Ingwaz indicates safety and a loving family environment. Your home and everyone in it are protected.

Ingwaz has no reverse meaning.

The birthdates related to this rune are May 14 to May 29.

    This sounds like a good one to get. It’s also my granddaughter and daughter’s rune.

    1. Oh, how awesome, Denise. This is a positive straightforward rune all the way and a great one to have as a birth rune! Thank you for your comment!

  4. So, this rune can be pretty confirming to make a decision that can be dramatically life-changing. Very exciting!

    1. I agree, Erika. It would be a solid confirmation to come up in a reading about a life-changing question. Thank you for your comment!

  5. I like that this rune indicates safety and a loving family environment. It’s also great that there is no reverse side to it, straightforward in interpretation.Thanks for the Rune lesson, Jan!

  6. All right, all right, all right. I like this rune a lot. (Of course, it covers my birthday) I think having a rune that is full speed ahead with no reverse issues would be terrific if it showed up in a draw. I’m going to pretend that this one is a personal talisman. Thanks, Jan.

    1. Lol, John! I knew you’d like this one and you don’t even have to pretend it is a personal talisman because as your birthday rune, it is! And I agree this would be a great rune to show up in a reading! Thank you for stopping by!

    1. Very true. It takes a balance of feminine and masculine energy to make everything work and this one is strong masculine. Thanks for stopping by, Staci!
