The Rune Ansuz is interpreted as either 'A God', 'Odins' Rune', 'Mouth', 'Comunication'.... Technically, all of these are correct, because this Rune encompasses all of these meanings in the lore that surrounds it:
The Ansuz rune is instrumental in the creation of mankind. It describes two of the gifts given to Ask and Embla (the first man and woman) by the gods Odin, Vili, and Vé. These gifts were ond or anda (breath, sprit, animating life principle) and odhr (inspired mental activity, inspiration).
Because of its link with these gifts from Odin and his sons (Vili and Vé), this Rune is widely interpreted as telling us of messages, or commnications.
This is the rune of the word, song, poetry, and magical incantation (galdr- More about this later on in the Study Group!) as a container and expresser of magical force. Ansuz is a magical ancestral power, one that has been handed down from generation to generation along genetic line. Through the power of this rune the realization of the link between the ancestral gods and their people may be regained. Most of the lore and traditions of the Norse was passed down orally, so this Rune represents that communicative link, a spiritual one aswell as physical. It also has links to breath, and its importance to ife.
In a reading, it could represent good communications, and possibly teaching.
Merkstave, it represents blocked communications, or the need to communicate with people... Misunderstandings, and things being misconstrued. Possibly the misuse of knowledge.
