INGUZ IMAGE

INGUZ - Fertility
Another linking to Frey, this represented the fertility of the joining of human beings. This has a direct meditative purpose of the wanting of pregnancy. It has a associative rune of the other gender, perth. Because of the ultimate creative power of this sort of unity, a lot can be learned from deep meditation on this rune.

ISA - Ice and Freezing
There are dangers of the cold. Slippery ice and freezing weather were well regarded in these northern regions. This is a powerful rune for the rune spell caster, for the one who understands this force can have great power of influence. Meditate on the physics of nature and notice the slowing of all things when the cold is omnipresent.

JERA - The Cycle of One Year
As many of the farmers know, crops are not impulsive or an ovenight success. Usually a period of time must pass before on can count the blessings and success of the harvest. The meditation here is very simple. Persistence and foresight must be used to see what is to come from a venture. Most good things do not come from a short period of time like a season.

KANO - An Opening
When you are in the darkness, an opening with light is the best and most gracious thing to have bestowed upon you. This is a great time for putting energies into new opportunities. Meditation revolves around seeing out of seemingly dark situations for there is a way out of every situation. Focus on what the action is and invest energies into breaking through.

LAGUZ - Water
All aspects of water are implies here. Flow, sea, river, lake, etc. are all one thing in the greater picture. The mystery of the tides also imply as it was not known that the moon had such a profound influence. The flow of the water is incorporated and respected in the human body. This is for deep meditation of higher forces and the materials that make up the body. Cleansing is important now.
MANNAZ IMAGE

MANNAZ - The Nature of Humankind
The self and its place in the collective conscience of humanity is the recognition here. We are all part of each other, made of the same things, subject to similar experiences. This is a time of personal reflection, of what it is all about and what one person can really do for the community. Also, acknowledment of the importance of every one self to the greater many.

NAUTHIZ - The Negatives of Human Needs
It was at the hardest times that the true meaning of what is needed for survival is missed the most. It was at these times that misery sometimes was the only companion. The proof of how delicate we really are in this somtetimes harsh world comes clear in the mind. One should meditate how bad things can really get and what things are not needed to maintain true survival at the deepest times of need.

OTHILA - Inheritance, Usually from Separation
We inherit by our birthright. When a life's cycle ends, the next of the lineage inherits the wealth and responsibility. Sometimes a retreat is necessary from the severity of the loss. Meditation is to take the retreat to find the true meanings of what actions are to be taken since the influences of the past are now gone. New ideas may be introduced and tried with the acquiring of the new items.
