The summary opposite concerns the reversed interpretation
of the
rune Ansuz. The upright interpretation is
different.
|
The theme of the upright version of Mannaz concerns "the
energy of receiving".
This is one of those runes for which the "reversed" interpretation
differs from the "upright" interpretation.
Just as Ansuz (upright) is about receiving communication,
knowledge, and gifts, Ansuz (reversed) may indicate anxiety or cause
for anxiety
about mis-communication, confusion, mis-understanding, and inhibition
from receiving a gift or opportunity that is offered.
There may be a need to clear out the old in order to receive the new.

Note that each rune may be referred to differently
in different texts. One reason is that some books prefer to use
the traditional meanings as the names/titles
of the runes (as we do here). Other books refer to runes using
the Old English name, their Old (High) German names,
or their modern English letter equivalent. There are also other
sets of symbols that are associated with runes. These are more
difficult to represent electronically because they do not all correspond
to standard alpha-numeric characters. More about the runes as
listed here.
