MANNAZ - Humanity


The Rune Poem - Verse XX
Those who possess happiness
are dear to their kinsman,
Yet all must part
because Odin has decreed
that the body must return to the Earth.

Introduction:

Mannaz is the rune of mankind or humanity. It represents both male and female energy and links with man at his most fundamental level.

Interpretation:

Upright.
This rune is very much about community and reminds us of our responsibility to others. More than this Mannaz represents the search for the inner Self

But ultimately the message comes back to people, tolerance, compassion and kindness whether we are interacting in the workplace, our community or in our closest relationships.

Inverted.
A self imposed solitude or isolation whether intentional or not. Your actions have separated you from others and you may have created enemies along the way.

Be vigilant with those around you. Motives may not be as they seem. Information and advice which is passed your way may be bad.
