Nauthiz

Rune: Nauthiz - PictureWitchDesigns.ca

Aett: Heimdall

Meaning: “Need”

Struggle, Determination, Resilience, Turmoil, Necessity, Willpower & Endurance.

Nauthiz is necessity, restrictions, conflicts and endurance, willpower and self-reliance…and also hints at stagnation. Setbacks may be coming up in the future, so now is a time to step back, breathe and focus on introspection and reflection of yourself. Keep that ego and temper in check, as letting those run wild can end up with you feeling stuffy or trapped.

Let it go (much like that one movie with the ice queen haha) and release the tension you’ve got building up in yourself because all it will do is slow your progress forward. Growth is sometimes challenging; but the obstacles and bumps in the road you face will shape you into a better person.

This Nauthiz is useful as a reminder to let go of the physical and material items and to focus on your inner, spiritual, personal growth.

The Elder Futhark Runes are some of the oldest known alphabets clearly documented and currently known to mankind. They were often carved into wood and stone and were used to commemorate ancestors and mark the graves of heroes, but they were also used to communicate. Runes could be cast and translated to figure out the current situation at present or could be used to peek into the future much like Tarot. They could be used to communicate with the natural and supernatural worlds and can even be used as symbols of protection, success, and more.

The Elder Futhark has 24 runes, and are the ones used with these beautiful charms you can collect with our RuneFizzies Bathbombs.

In Rune Reading, the runes are separated into 3 sets of eight runes based off the energies that connect Earth and Heaven, and are represented by three gods: Tyr, Heimdall, and Freya. These gods have some fascinating stories that weave in and out of the more well-known stories of Norse gods such as Odin, Thor and Loki. Tyr is the Warrior, Heimdall is the Watcher and Freya is the Goddess.

Tyr’s Aett – is all about the physical and is known for his fierceness and physical strengths and so Tyr’s eight runes represent various forms of Confidence.

Heimdall’s Aett – represents Clarity. They are no less powerful than Tyr’s Aett, and are often found when looking outwards in the distance both physically and metaphysically. These are rune often found when looking for the future or for clarity in a situation.

Freya’s Aett – Women especially looked to Freya for assistance in matters of fertility and heart as well as ones associated with death. This goddess would often go to battlefields and gather the bravest souls of the fallen in order to guide them to heaven where she would care for them and their loved ones for eternity. Her Aett represent love and relationships both platonic and amorous.

Our RuneFizzies Bathbombs are designed to bring a bit of fun to the bath experience, and depending on how you look at the explanation of the rune you receive, you may find some interesting information that correlates to your own life, so feel free to relax and enjoy!
