The Rune Poem - Verse XXII
Ing was first seen to move amongst to East Danes,
Then east he went across the waves,
his wagon followed behind,
and the warriors named him so.

Introduction:

Ing is the Anglo-Saxon god of fertility. He journeyed to Jutland and united the Viking people there. In the northeast of England, kings claimed to be descendants of Ing.

Interpretation:

Upright.
Birth, love and harmony are all aspects of this rune. Again the idea of birth goes beyond the physical to encompass all new beginnings - the successful completion of another cycle of life.

It signals a fertile period for the mind, body and spirit. A very positive rune.

Inverted.
This symbol cannot be inverted.
