Rune Meanings - Part 3 of 3

For the past two articles we have been dealing with the first two groups of eight runes of the elder futhark. In this article we will cover the last eight runes of the elder futhark and their meanings. With all three articles you will have the full set of meanings for the elder futhark. You will be able to use these meanings for any rune casts that you do.

You should be aware that the meanings in these articles are the meanings that I personally use for the elder futhark. If you read in other rune books the meanings will be different. True there are similarities between my meanings and other authors, but the more you work with the runes the more you’ll adapt the meanings to better fit your needs. Don’t be afraid to do this, there isn’t anything wrong with it. The runes, when you cast them, are trying to tell you something and the more you use them the more you’ll begin to understand what it is that each rune is telling you.

With that said let’s get to the last set of eight runes and their meanings.

Teiwaz
Teiwaz can promise us success in our actions but this time without personal sacrifice. It also means success in "legal" matters but only if we were in the right to begin with.

Berkana
Like the birch tree coming to life from a seed planted in the earth, Berkana represents a new beginning and is also a powerful birth rune.

Ehwaz
Ehwaz reminds us that in order for success there must be a natural flow in the task at hand. With this rune to give us power as well as it making use of our good intentions we can surely achieve such success.

Mannaz
Mannaz has many powers. First it is a rune that lets us know we can achieve our fullest potential. Secondly it reminds us that we, as humans, all have shared experiences in life. Lastly we can use the power of this rune to gain the upper hand in disputes and arguments.

Laguz
Laguz represents the power of water and its easy flowing nature. We must learn to "go with the flow" when this rune shows up in a reading so that we can take full advantage of our powers.

Inguz
This rune allows us to spread our energy out far and wide. It is a protective rune mainly for the protection of our homes. To use Inguz effectively we must learn to build up our powers over time and then release the power all at once.
