Ingwaz Rune Meaning
ᛜ · sound "ng" · Tyr's ætt · name means the god Ing
potential, gestation, completion, inner growth
Upright meaning
Ingwaz is the seed in the ground: energy gathered and growing quietly before it shows. It can mirror a phase of completion and a pause before something new. It invites you to let a plan mature rather than rushing it into the light.
Reversed
This rune looks the same upside down, so it has no reversed meaning.
Lore
The rune is named for Ing, a god of fertility and plenty linked with Freyr, remembered in later legend as the ancestor of the early Swedish kings. Only the Anglo-Saxon poem covers it, telling how Ing was first seen among the East Danes and later went away over the waves, his wagon following behind.
