The Inguz Rune
The use of the Viking runes (from the root ' run - ' of the ancient Gothic, translated as ' secret ' or ' whisper ') mainly comprised writing in the ancient Germanic languages, especially in the islands of Great Britain and the region from Scandinavia, although it eventually expanded to the regions of Eastern and Central Europe during the Middle Ages . According to ancient Scandinavian beliefs, the origin of these runes comes from the gods. It is a gift that Odin gives to men.
These runes were also used for magical purposes . According to beliefs, they have the ability to materialize invocations and spells written on objects. And thanks to the German-Austrian writer Guido von List, and his system of modern divination of armanen runes, the power of the Viking runes has come to us today.
This time, we will talk about the Inguz rune .
Inguz rune mythology
The Inguz rune (also called ' Ingwaz ' or ' Ing ') gets its name from the linguistic reconstruction that represents the sound <>. Ingwaz, in turn, is the protogermanic name of a mythological character (also known as ' Yngvi '), progenitor of the Germanic tribes and ancestor of the Ingvaeones, a cultural group that was lodged along the North Sea coast and in the Danish islands. The Anglo-Saxon poem in which the Inguz rune appears says:
" Ingwaz was first seen by Danish men from the east,
until, followed by his float,
set off east over the waves,
Then the audience called the hero. "
It is believed that this character represented by the Inguz rune is in turn a representation of Freyr (even ' Freyr ' means ' Lord ', so ' Yngvi ' could be his real name).
This god is the son of mother earth and brother of Freya, master of the rains and the summer sun. Ride a bright wild boar called Gullinbursti and his sword made with sun rays fights on its own if the one who wields it is of great wisdom.
The god associated with the Inguz rune represents male fertility. It was also associated with lunar influences on Earth, fishing and harvest. It is an extremely protective deity of life and family.
