Interpretation

This is a rune of strength and control. The control is not external, but deeply within yourself. By learning to control your own inner nature, strength is increased.

An understanding of your deepest needs is a must. Before any control is possible, you must first know your own nature. Look within yourself and observe why you do what you do.

Patience and perseverance are symbols of controlled strength. Drawing Teiwaz makes this difficult, for active pursuit is an underlying part of this rune. Courage and the determined focus of a hunter is strong now.

Keep in mind that you can only control yourself; the universe is controlled by its own laws. However, this rune does suggest victory with your battles, provided you have enough control of yourself to follow the laws of the universe.

REVERSED

This rune warns of losing control. Poor judgment about ill-conceived projects or relationships can use up your strength.

The fault may not be in the projects, but in your motives. Be certain that emotions are not controlling you. Don't be reckless and don't use your strength needlessly.

Ask why you are involved in a particular relationship or event. Are you being true to your nature? Ask your higher Self for the answer. Don't ask others; they don't know your nature as you do.
