The next rune is Ihwaz, pronounced yew-was. Its literal meaning is yew.
The psychological meaning is kundalini, the timeless, and death mysteries. Its energy is the chakra system, immortality, encoding, secrecy, and an axis of heaven-earth-hell.
If Ihwaz appears in divination, it could mean protection, initiation, endurance, and movement toward enlightenment. If it appears reversed, it could mean death, weakness, dissatisfaction, destruction, or confusion.
Eihawaz is the vertical axis of Jera’s horizontal axis. It represents the vertical nature and energy of the spine. The spine has 24 vertebrae, which is the same number of runes in the Elder Futhark.
