The names for this rune are generally noted as meaning “god” or “mouth.” While the word ansuz from Old Germanic and oss from Old Icelandic both mean “god,” óss from Old Norwegian means “estuary” or “river mouth.”
This rune is often regarded as a messenger that brings sacred wisdom and aids in connecting with the Divine. Ansuz is especially helpful for exploring inner and outer worlds and initiating self-change. Be aware of unusual things that seem like chance because something may be calling you. The energy of this rune also stokes the fires of creativity.
When selected for divination or guidance, Ansuz’s message is to expect the unexpected and watch for omens. The answers are apparent if you stop and pay attention. Clear quartz, red and blue tourmaline, and emerald are effective for working with the energy of Ansuz.
