Naudiz is the name of the n-rune ᚾ, meaning need, distress,
fears, guilt.
 Trouble is oppressive to the heart;yet often it proves a source of help and salvation to the children of men, to everyone who heeds it. |
This rune represents ‘need’ in all its forms, from the
need for food and shelter, to the need of personal fulfillment. ‘Need creates
invention’. When you are in need and are aware and understand those needs, you
are able to find a way to fulfill those needs.
The outcome of obtaining your need depends upon your actions or
lack thereof, to obtain them. Nauthiz is a signpost for the future, which lets
us know what will happen based upon on our ignoring or acting upon our specific
need. It represents an imbalance between what one ‘needs’ and what one ‘has.’
The acknowledgment of this imbalance can be illuminating, as it causes one to
closely examine, then reassess priorities and values. This brings motivation to
step back onto the right spiritual path, knowing that when we act and live by
what makes us most happy and fulfilled, we are living our true selves.
Nauthiz represents needs that can be met by reacting positively
to deprivation, Nauthiz says that conflict can be overcome by willpower, that
delays and restrictions need to be endured and fears need to be faced.
Nauthiz forces one to come to terms with and acknowledge this
dissatisfaction; then use it as motivation for change. If you want something different, do different
things.
