ᚢ Uruz

image

The second letter is Uruz, pronounced “oo-ruse.” Its literal translation is “Aurochs.”

Its energy is organic structuring, manifestation, endurance, healing, survival, raw primal power, archetypal patterning, and vital formative force.

When it appears in a divination reading, it could mean understanding, pragmatic knowledge, health, luck, pattern, tenacity, vitality, constancy, and strength. If it is reversed, it could mean brutality, insensitivity, uncontrolled rage, ignorance, sickness, inconstancy, misdirected force, obsession, or weakness.

While Fehu symbolizes domesticated cattle, Uruz symbolizes the wild bovine. This serves as a reminder that cattle use to be wild creatures. While Fehu is represented by young lovers, Uruz represents that young warrior.

Life’s persistent and resourceful will of survival is implicit within Uruz and is a rune of manifestation, endurance, and regeneration. Uruz energy pattern helps the ego and can protect the psyche. Its self-healing energy can help to pull an illness or disease back into its “primal blueprint,” which is what its original shape was supposed to be.

This is the rune of your inner Queen and King. We are able to stand up for our rights and be free in the same type of authority that aurochs did. This shows the universe you have the will to live free and passionate.
