Only
when we know our solitude to be different from our loneliness
can we be whole enough to honor another’s place.
can we be whole enough to honor another’s place.
The Inguz rune represents Nerthiz, the God Ing (or Freyr), who
is the embodiment of fertility. It is this fertility that we call upon
to create .
Agriculture represents one of the first attempts by mankind to
control the environment, the sustainability of crops and the animals used to
maintain them. Throughout ancient times, a primary concern for mankind was the
production and harvesting of successful crops for the survival, health and well
being of its people.
In ancient times, the land was revered as a source of survival
as well as one of wondrous beauty. The
shape of the Inguz rune shows balance, representing the harmonious
relationship between ourselves and the four elements or four directions. Inguz
reminds us of the ancient connection between the Gods and the land.
In today’s Western society, many (if not most) have lost their
connection and contact with the land and the process of growing things. The
spiritual consequences of this have been disastrous as most people now find it
difficult to connect with their own survival instincts and natural intuitions.
It has become evident also, in the disrespect given to the Earth, the
environment and natural resources.
Inguz is concerned with male fertility, gestation and internal
growth. It is all about common sense and simple strengths, the home and love of
the family, caring and human warmth.
Inguz presages a period of rest and relaxation when anxieties
disappear and loose strings are tied. It implies that you are free to move in
new directions.
Inguz signals the integration of the four selves: physical,
emotional, mental and spiritual. It is the drive toward completion and totality
and acts as the catalyst for movement toward wholeness.
