Rune of the Day 12-13-2024 by Hrefna Nornsdatter, Chair of Religious Studies
Good evening! Today’s rune is Inguz. Have you started planning for the coming year? Plant those seeds now to enjoy the later harvest!
INGUZ
Meaning: “Seed” or “The God, Ing”
Pronunciation: “Ing-guz”
The rune Inguz is first and foremost a rune representing male sexuality and fertility, as can be seen with it’s connection to “The God, Ing” or Freyr. Inguz represents the process of turning a “seed” (or a goal or plan), with time and growth, into a “harvest” or new creation. Planting the seeds now to reap the later reward (sacrificing the “you of now” for the “you of tomorrow”) has the added bonus of gaining the experiences you’ve collected along the way. It reminds me of the end of the harvest season; once the current harvest dies, the nutrients and energy are absorbed back into the earth to help propagate the next year’s harvest.
Keywords: Process, space, resting, gestation, male sexuality, impotence, agriculture, internal growth, frivolity, immaturity
