Myths and deities: Odin

Interpretation: The Ash tree is represented here and this is a strong tree, usually weathering storms and leaving clues of its battles. Ansuz refers to a god or the spoken word of god. It is the voice of reason, law, prophecy and truth Ansuz . This is the Rune of knowledge and learning.  When drawing this rune, seek the wisdom or wise counsel of an elder or a knowledgeable person as a teacher or mentor.  A person choosing this Rune is probably an intellectual interested in communicating ideas or a seeker of wisdom. Rune may indicate the beginning of an apprenticeship in acquiring knowledge, extra skills and experience necessary to nurture natural talents.

Upright position: seek assistance, authority, business, and learning,
investigate, inquire, and ask your elders to help you with your question. Maybe
you will receive word or news from an elderly or authoritative person (parent,
teacher, relative, etc.) or an unknown wiser person.

Inverse position:  If traveling for business it could mean an unsuccessful
trip or outcome. Some mischief may be a foot when drawn depending on the question or circumstance of the reading. Beware of smooth talkers, get rich schemes, and tricksters. A confusing atmosphere can prevent you from discerning fact from fiction.  Must be careful and alert sometimes to signs of the trickster. Reversed may mean you are or will be the victim of lies, deceit and trickery. Seek second opinions and general thoughts from others. You may also be unwilling to learn from the lessons that life is teaching you. If Wyrd, in addition to negative runes, appears in connection with Ansuz reversed it might be indicating that you are hording knowledge but never really using it.

Use for: for bringing wise decisions, success, achievement of leadership; as assistance in predicting and in magic
