… Like others that have posted before me, I just stumbled on to this site and feel blessed to have such a resource. I pull a” rune of the day”, with hopes to obtain guidance, clarity. Today’s rune is Inguz, and so I thank you all for your comments and guidance

…in the meaning OF… (I beg your pardon for my English)

>”The Goddess inside goes outside”

Ying – it’s a core of Yang, so it’s not “a tail” ( :) ), it’s “a heart” of male’s energy embodiment, if it is possible to speak so.

>The addition of “ing” represents action in the actual process of activity…
It’s the most true description of “Here and Now” meaning – it’s PRESENT CONTINUOUS, present continuum, in the meaning everlasting, evergreen, etc., up to “never ending”… :)
So, this … :) is not the end of “be” and “do” – of the most commonly used verbs, by the way. :)

You can learn so much from the comments too, or gain some guiding idea to learn something further :)

I can really see the seed in the image of Ing or even an egg if you will. This therefore leads me naturally to understand that it is about gestation and also relates to fertility – though I believe it is more related to male fertility and Berkana is concerned with female fertility.

I can also see the image being that of two hands cupped together – if you consider raising energy in a witchcraft ritual or using the energy to flow through your hands in Reiki, then this is quite fitting, as we use our hands a lot for such things. Hands are also cupped in a way when it comes to praying (traditionally speaking from a Christian perspective). The hands being cupped together also are a focal point either for some way of focussing or containment.

The very image of this Rune is enclosed and suggests potential, a sense of anticipation. The four selves are evident in the four sides of the Rune. The number four being a number of stability and strength, not to mention earthly elements rather than spiritual although not excluding the spiritual as such but rather being more concentrated on the earthly elements; the traditional earth, air, fire and water, the supposed elements of creation (talking from old fashioned ideas of the way the world came about, etc).

Yes, the image of Ingus is virtually bursting with promise. There is a birth awaiting, the birth of something new and exciting, something that requires action, not passivity for one to benefit. After all, we are not creatures who are merely carried along by fate, rather we have choices and opportunities.

I found this site a month or so ago and have been loving it, thanks!

I’ve just pulled Ingwaz today and am very curious about ‘ing’ making it’s way into the English language and also about the continual evoking of that energy in our language, and our obsession with doing rather than being.

@Vanir very interesting contemplation,I wonder are there phonetic patterns/meanings we have lost the knowledge of?

Not to mention that Algiz, itself, is the only one that ends with its own representative sound. Is it a pattern?

Good point. Is there any relation?

I was wondering, as well, why 14 of 22 runes end with Algiz. One could say that it could be an evidence of their divine nature, but what about the others?

Is there a deeper explanation?
