The Weekly Rune : ANSUZ
- Details
For the week of 21 June 2015
Speaking carefully is recommended this week, as is being aware of the slide toward darkness.
Read right to left is Dagaz, then Ansuz reversed. Dagaz remains the half-month rune through 29 June.
Following is a summary of The Weekly Rune.
Ansuz portends that through speaking our truth, we strengthen the bonds of communication in our lives. That sounds simple enough, though most of us are deeply challenged to do exactly that. It’s a very poetic and romantic call to action, though living it is something else entirely.
Ansuz literally translates to “breath,” which is perhaps the most fundamental expression of life force moving through us. We can’t live without it, and it’s also a primary way that we communicate with each other. It seems logical, then, that such a significant relationship and ownership of life force should be as authentic as possible. In that light, this stave speaks to the process leading up to what comes out of our mouths, which is where most of us get tangled in truth saying.
So the fusion of Dagaz and Ansuz makes more sense at this time. It becomes intensely more personally focused on that inner process before speech. In a day, how often do we censor ourselves? How often do we present ourselves as we truly are, as we truly intended? Such is the accounting to be measured now, and to be meted against the fleeting sunlight of our lives. It really is short, our time here, and what we do with every interaction with it determines the quality of our fulfillment.
Take time this week–no really, while the days are still long–and consider the you that dwells inside, and the you that is presented to the world. Where is the truth in each? Where is the insecurity in each? How do you reconcile them to create a clean slate for the darkness?

Overview
Runes are a method of divination similar to the Tarot or the I Ching. The difference is that Runes are a set of 25 stones instead of 78 cards or a set of sticks with patterns. As with the Tarot, most of the Runes may be rightside up, or up side down, the meaning differing with the case. There are also some Runes that can not appear up side down. In practice, the Runes may be made of any material; ceramic, stones, sticks, or drawn on cards.

Runes originated with the ancient Etruscans and were spread upwards throughout the Alpine regions to Northern Europe via the trade routes. The Germanic tribes took them and adapted them to their own needs and uses. The oldest and most widespread of the Germanic runes are the Elder Futhark or Common Germanic Runes. The word rune, which occurs in various forms in Germanic and Celtic languages, means "a mystery" or "holy secret" that is "whispered".
Runes were traditionally carved into bone, wood or stone which accounts for their angular shape. The lack of curves made it easier to create the shapes in either hard wood or stone.
