MANNAZ sterling silver rune pendant

HAND CARVED STERLING SILVER (OXIDIZED) MANNAZ RUNE PENDANT

An ancient alphabetic scripts, each of whose letters possessed a meaningful name as well as a signifying sound, Runes were employed for legal documents, for writing poetry, for inscriptions and divination. The art of the Runes dates back to Viking times and is used to form a bridge between our logical mind and our unconscious. The Runes embody the greatest and the smallest secrets of nature and they are the keys to those secrets – for they are indeed the secrets themselves.

This rune is historically perhaps the most complex of all from a symbological perspective. A unified ideological complex does rise to the surface once its secrets are penetrated.

Mannaz is the mystery of the divine (archetypal) structure in every individual and in mankind in general. This structure is imparted by the god Heimdallr as the progenitor of mankind.

The M-rune is the symbol of Heimdallr as the genetic link between the gods and men, and as the guardian of Bifrost.

Mannaz is the power of human intelligence, rationality, memory and tradition.
It is the stave of the "perfected man" -the complete human being-an initiate in one of the many cults of the Elder Faith. Mannaz is an androgynous archetypal being, and therefore the mystery is one that embodies the power of the androgyne in the psychological sphere of humanity.

The M-rune stands for the institution of blood brotherhood.

Magical workings of Mannaz Rune:
1. Realization of the divine structure in mankind.
2. Increase in intelligence, memory, and mental powers generally.
3 . Balancing the "poles of personality."
