Mannaz is the rune of humankind. IT symbolizes the characteristics that set humans apart from the rest of the living creatures on Earth. The ability to create for the sake of creating itself. To develop and contribute to culture and to read and write.
Be in the world but not of it. And yet do not be closed, narrow, or judging; rather, remain receptible to impulses flowing from the Divine within and without.
Strive to live the ordinary life in a non-ordinary way.
This rune can be pointing to some aspect of tension in the relationship between your inner self and your perceived place in the outer world.
Mannaz can also symbolize assistance from others. Its shape evokes a sense of mutual support and creates a stronger structure.
Independence and self-reliance are important attributes, but ultimately, humans need each other in order to reach their fullest potential.
Mannaz can also refer to family matters and may indicate you are concerned about someone close to you. Be sure to recharge your batteries so that you will be available to assist when and if the time is right
Magical uses: help with cooperation from others, increase mental agility, improve memory, promote harmony
