 The Symbol side of this piece shows the Ingwaz rune, which is a rune of potential, growth, and the cyclical nature of existence. Its name, derived from the divine entity Ing (Freyr), carries connotations of fertility and prosperity, important concepts in all forms of human culture. The intertwined crossed lines represent the promise of new life and the potential for growth. These lines build on one another and can represent the strength it takes to begin a creative process. Like a plant reaching skyward, the upright movement of Ingwaz emphasizes growth.

Ingwaz belongs to the third Aett of the Elder Futhark, which carries themes of balance, order, and right action. These runes indicate internal energies and resources that we can utilize to combat external forces acting upon us. The Ingwaz rune, with its symbolism of potential and growth, contributes to these themes.

The Norse Rune or "letter" featured on one side of my Runes is taken from a writing system called Elder Futhark. There are many explanations of this Norse writing system in both classical and popular literature. The image side of every Rune represents emotional attributes of its Nordic letter and are pictograms of my own creation. Each Rune description includes an etymological reference of historical origins well as modern meanings.

There are a total of 24 Elder Futhark Runes. They can be divided into three groups of 8 runes each. Each group of 8 is called an “aett” which has an several underlying meanings that can be shared by all 8 runes within it. The additional insight from the Aett formation can help clarify individual rune interpretations.
