Step 7 of 9 · Speech, Silence and Secrets

Ansuz

Modern interpretation

Why this step

Ansuz is Odin’s rune of communication and the message that arrives from somewhere wiser than everyday thinking. Reversed, it is a message garbled in transit or your own words landing wrong despite good intent. The entry warns against trusting information too quickly and against speaking before you have thought something through.
