EHWAZ - Change

The Rune Poem - Verse XIX
A steed is the joy of the nobles,
they stand proud
while wealthy men upon their backs swop words
and to discomfort brings comfort.

Introduction:

Ehwaz means horse, the Vikings put great value on these creatures recognising their important contribution in battle, travel and in working the land. In many ways horses had a very direct impact on improving the Viking way of life, this fact was appreciated and never taken for granted.

Interpretation:

Upright.
This may well prove to be a good time for travel or perhaps a journey of a different kind. Venturing out with the intention of creating new situations in either your home or work life should bear fruit.

This is also a sign that you are on track, all your efforts are coming to fruition.

Inverted.
You may be losing your way. Things appear unclear. Your are lacking energy & drive and are left with the feeling that you are being left behind or worse, that you are actually going backwards.

There will be little pleasure from travel and running to escape your problems is a futile exercise. Sudden changes are not the solution.
