Step 3 of 9 · Knowledge, Judgment and Uncertainty
Ansuz
Why this step
Ansuz is the rune of a message arriving, and the entry’s advice is to listen more than you speak. Its reversed reading adds a check the Hávamál stanzas leave out: something that has reached you secondhand may be inaccurate and is worth double-checking. Listening gets you material. It does not tell you whether to trust it.
