activate the energies of your inner Fetch
A source of prophetic wisdom
Projection of magical power
Facilitates swiftness in every regard
Establishing trust and bonds with animals (ie. horse whisperers)
My Notes:
Ehwaz is represented as twin gods or twin heroes as a pair of horses. It symbolizes all the various bodies as vehicles for travel and movement. Twins represent the Sacred Marriage of the Inner and the Outer. The horse and rider metaphor is the best way to represent the symbiotic relationship between two individualized, yet harmonious Beings. Anyone who has had the least exposure to the value of a horse to a person, family or clan would understand the esoteric code hidden within Ehwaz.
Ehwaz is not force, but persuasion, suggestion and co-operation. Control issues that birth questions such as ‘who is the boss?’ are settled and accepted with assistance of this rune. Making the best of a situation, making the necessary adjustments to a relationship and the finding of means are frequent activities that focus on Ehwaz can assist. In every way it represents flexibility, adaptability, pragmatism. It is the activation and use of instinct, using gut over analysis (which is governed by the next rune, Mannaz).
The loyalty, trust and dependence build between two partners with each passing day forms a web of emotional and spiritual connections which becomes highly resilient as time goes on. Genuine friendship develops, the kind of bond we die for. It is the combination of emotional energies with the intellectual spark to produce harmonious beauty from partnership and raise the interaction to spiritual vibrations.
Ehwaz is particularly relevant to the energies which bond man and woman together in lawful marriage. Its energies can unify two people in a strong cooperative relationship and attract the right persons for partnership in work, business, teams or service.
Ehwaz is the rune of the psycho-spiritual construct called the Fetch. Your Fetch is the opposite gender as you, inactive in the material plane but still quite accessible within your spirit. Activating the Fetch can assist you in attracting to yourself the right partner as your life mate. It will also refresh the dynamics of an existing marriage or committed relationship by re-energizing the harmonics between the two fetch (plural) and the two conscious minds of the partners in the coupling.
Most people do not realize that the answer to the great mysteries of the opposite sex are found within their own mental make-up when a communication link is established between oneself and one’s Fetch. One might imagine the Fetch, in modern terms, as the dormant DNA which is still active on a psychic level, though the physical manifestation has already chosen and developed its gender.

Please elaborate on “Fetch”. I practice Holistic Nursing-am a Hospice Nurse and this term is fascinating to me-unsure why.Also lost a beloved husband to Divorce-via an affair he had?

I have seen differing explanations of what a Fetch is. There is general agreements that a fetch is a spirit that attaches to us and reflects aspects of our own spirit growth. The explanation that resonates most for me is that we each have two Fetches. One appearing to us in animal form, and the other in a human form of the opposite sex. The animal will be one that we feel an affinity with and can assist us to cross into other worlds. Our human Fetch has approximately the same spiritual development as we do; however that is manifest to maximum advantage as the Fetch lives in the spirit realm and is not subject to the confusion this life brings to us. Consequently, our Fetch can help us to maximize our spiritual knowledge and growth, especially in understanding our non-dominant male-female self. If we open ourselves up and ask for our Fetches to speak with us and tell us their names they will, but we must be careful not to impose on them characteristics we personally covet. It is possible to establish a close relationship with a Fetch. I think it is possible that our Fetch grown spiritually along with us.
I think that we are all in the process of exploring what these otherworld connections are and would not want to be adamant about any aspect of what it ‘has to be. Perhaps when we are dying our Fetch is close and Munsey has a sense of this at the Hospice?
It may be possible that a Fetch can take on actual presence in this realm. But, I doubt that Munsey’s ‘lost’ love was a Fetch. More likely someone to whom she has a previous (and perhaps future) life link. Some work they need each other to complete? or some past action that needs to be balanced or righted? ….
There are other beings from other worlds with whom we can establish close relationships – a friend refers to them as “her people”. Again, while we have the most to learn, I do think that these spirits also learn about the currents of earth today through us.
This is very much an area of exploration, so readers, please add any thoughts you may have.

[...] Gebo is also tied deeply to the exchange of sexual energies between male and female, and so it deeply governs mystical union, sacred oaths of marriage and sex magic. For more on sacred marriage, one must uncover the mysteries of EHWAZ. [...]
