Uruz is symbolized by the Auroch, or ox. The ‘auroch’ was a
species of wild oxen or huge bovine, similar to a longhorn bull, that was once
found all over Europe. They had become extinct since sometime in the 17th Century. Aurochs were
reputed to have had horns as long as six feet and were highly prized by people
as drinking horns. Paintings of aurochs have been found in Neolithic caves. It
was believed that the hunting of the aurochs had a significance as a ‘rite of
passage’ for boys entering manhood. Uruz is the rune of the ‘God of the Sacred
hunt’ and his shaman or priest.
It is a masculine rune that corresponds to the fierce power of
ice, as in the movement of glaciers.
Therefore Auroch moves with determination and purifies all it
touches. It can be used for defense,
crop fertility, good weather, strength and healing. Excellent in bind runes for healing purposes.
The ancient people of the Norse saw the horn of the auroch as a
symbol of strength. It was used to swear oaths upon, make firm friendships by
and to clinch deals.
