“rye-trow” ( Wagon or chariot.) This Rune looks like the letter R.
It represents Wheel (or wagon), or riding. In essence it means a journey; in both physical and life directions. It is the process of the long ride of a long journey of growth.
It represents the cycle of change, but as a spiral as opposed to the cyclical (and seasonal) of diurnal, or circadian rhythm.
Ordered Change (must do ordered ethical deeds), the movement through space and time, and the relationship between the two. Modern authors tend to ignore the time aspects of this rune. It being related to the ‘Sun Wheel’. We tend to think of distance and direction in our modern western methods. The Norse thought of distance and direction in terms of moving people between two points (as was space measured). The principal unit of measure was how far you could ride (which varies depending on the land, and time of year). So space/time is relative.
On one hand we have a Rune of journey and movement (spiritual and physical). But it is ALSO a rune of space and time. Thus, it also deals with social boundaries…ethics, and legal customs.
One must be aware of both rhythms in the natural world and your own world. There are times for social actions and journeys and all actions. It deals with law, justice and social harmony.
Preparation leads to action (action must be taken) and the practice of what Ansuz has inspired.
Seeing a larger perspective. Personal rhythm, world rhythm, dance of life. Good counsel.
Pragmatic issues are important.
Merkstave: Crisis, rigidity, stasis, injustice, irrationality. Stuck in an eddy.
A person in the fields of legal or transportation.
