The word itself, etymologically linked to “mouth” and “gods” (Aesir), draws associations with Odin Allfather. This rune encourages us to listen, watch, and attune ourselves to messages from the divine and our inner wisdom.

Meditation and chanting “AHN-soohz” can clear mental fog and foster peace of mind. Reversed, Ansuz signifies negativity in thoughts and words, suggesting a disconnection from Source. Seek support from Archangels Uriel and Raphael to restore inner harmony.

Spiritual Insight

Ansuz reminds us of the creative and destructive power of words. Both ancient pagan wisdom and monotheistic teachings, such as Matthew 15:11 (“What comes out of the mouth defiles them”), highlight the significance of speech. The Bible’s John 1:1 (“In the beginning was the Word”) mirrors the Norse reverence for Odin, suggesting the divine power inherent in communication. Words shape reality; choose them wisely.
