Ansuz

Modern interpretation

Why this step

Ansuz belongs to Odin. On this site it is the rune of communication and inspiration, the message that arrives from somewhere wiser than everyday thinking, and its entry lists the power of words and naming among its meanings. Reversed, it is the garbled message and words landing wrong. It holds both sides of this trail’s question: words that carry real weight, and words that mislead.
