The meaning of the inverted rune Evaz
Most often, the inverted Eyvaz rune warns of a problem with a partner. Moreover, this could be a colleague, a friend, a relative. It is not necessary that any of them will fail intentionally, but in fact this misunderstanding will occur.
IMPORTANT: However, you should not be upset, because these difficulties will almost certainly be temporary.
you check your transport especially carefully in the near future if you have one. It is advisable to refrain from any kind of travel.
Evaz inverted - rune-caution
The meaning of the inverted rune Odal, Otal
A person is on the verge of a revolution of his “I”. You may have to give up your habits and some spiritual qualities. Material wealth is also in question.
It is recommended to be as flexible as possible in your thinking and actions. And it is extremely important to try not to take all the innovations in life to heart. And a sufficient number of changes are expected.
Don't be overly active in trying to hold on to everything. This way you can undermine your health, lose your finances, and quarrel with loved ones.
Odal reversed - rune of change
Description: What are inverted runes?
One of the symbols that can appear upside down is Odal.
Vertically symmetrical symbols can take an inverted position (pp). Since the sign becomes upside down, the explanation is reversed. Algiz, Teyvaz, Evaz, Mannaz and Odal are representatives of this subgroup. Rotated runes also include runes that lack symmetry. They combine the characteristics of both reversible groups. Fehu, Uruz, Ansuz, Laguz, Vunyo and Raido are inverted and mirrored. Some symbols are irreversible, always look the same, have only a direct meaning, their description remains unchanged, for example, irreversible Gebo.
The meaning of the inverted Uruz rune
Overall it embodies missed opportunities. Basically, this happened or will happen due to insufficient willpower, fear, and reluctance to change.
IMPORTANT: Because of this, it is quite possible to become depressed, begin to experience weakness, disappointment, and emptiness. There is a risk of even compromising your health.
To correct the situation, it is recommended to talk honestly with yourself, analyze your thoughts and actions. Think about what you should really spend your energy on, what you really want. Forget about stereotypes.
Uruz inverted - rune of missed opportunities
The meaning of the inverted Algiz rune
A sign that you are very vulnerable in this time period. In this case, vulnerability can result in both physical injury and deception or provocation on the part of someone. However, any breakdown and aggression in response to the offender will only worsen the problem.
Definitely forget about intuition - now you should be guided solely by calculations. And under no circumstances move ahead - only caution, only patience.
IMPORTANT: Or maybe you deceived yourself? Naivety or greed may well be the cause of the current vulnerability.
Algiz inverted - rune-vulnerability
The meaning of the inverted Raido rune
Rune-surprise. Perhaps there will be some caution in the coming days. Keep a sense of humor in any case - it will help avoid quarrels, which will be easy to achieve. Reconciliation will be much more difficult.
Try to refrain from activity - there will be little logic in your actions. There will be dissonance associated with actions and what is actually a priority.
It may well be that your plans will be upset - for example, a certain trip will be disrupted or you will have to visit a sick relative. In any case, it will be a surprise associated with the movement.
Raido inverted - rune of surprise
What does Raido mean in the upright position?
The key meaning of the Raido Rune is any movement and everything connected with it. A person often sees this Rune in a scenario before a pleasant trip, provided that it is not adjacent to a sign with a negative interpretation.
However, this is not the only meaning of this Rune. It can be interpreted as a search for one’s purpose, the meaning of existence. This is also, in a certain sense, a path that can lead anywhere. The rune is often encountered in fortune-telling by a person who needs to resolve a certain issue related to travel. This symbol will help in making a decision and finding the right path for those who have stopped at a crossroads and are not sure of the correctness of their course. The sign will push you to understand a person’s attitude to the process of movement, add confidence and perseverance.
It is no coincidence that this Rune in the upright position is associated with horse riding. The horse carries the rider in a certain direction, even if he throws the reins. That is, the symbol allows you to find the path at the level of your inner premonition, intuition. You shouldn’t build barriers using invented failed prospect scenarios. Fate has its own clear plan for each of us.
Another meaning of the rune is movement, which has its own specific purpose. Each person has his own life path, consisting of many different roads to achieve goals. And the goal doesn't always have to be grandiose. In most situations, these are small but important steps for the final result.
The rune in the upright position is interpreted optimistically; it is a harbinger of well-being and prosperity on a certain segment of life’s path. The main condition is not to stop.
Appearing before a fortuneteller in a reading, such a runic sign foreshadows a journey, but it does not always need to be taken in the literal sense of the word. After all, you can move towards new knowledge and self-knowledge.
The meaning of the inverted Berkan rune
Difficulty growing. Moreover, this may also apply to physical growth, but most often it refers to spiritual growth. Perhaps you are depressed and unable to make the right decisions.
IMPORTANT: If this is the case, you should pull yourself together and carefully analyze what is bothering you. Be diligent and everything will work out.
Berkana often foreshadows family troubles . Squabbles, arguments, or even a rival - the rune will not tell you the exact event, but you should definitely be on your guard. Family relationships clearly cannot develop in a positive way if you are negligent.
Berkana inverted - rune of growth impediment
The meaning of the inverted Teyvaz rune
Indecision, loss of energy. It's time to think about how to further build your life. This is by no means a dark period, but you will definitely lose even more energy if you don’t stop and think in time.
Most likely, problems stem from a weak character and, as a result, dependence on others. Perhaps we should learn to say “No!” in some cases?
IMPORTANT: Another important point is that you need to learn to talk honestly with yourself and understand that you should not always shift responsibility to others.
Teyvaz inverted - rune-indecision
INVERTED, MIRROR, IRREVERSIBLE RUNES
In the modern runic tradition, it is customary to divide runes depending on the position they occupy relative to their axis. In this regard, runes can be divided into four groups. The symmetrical runes URUZ, ALGIZ, TURISAZ, EVAZ, MANNAZ, ODAL can be turned upside down, as it were.
These are the so-called reversible, or invertible runes. It is believed that when they are inverted, their meaning and meaning are also inverted, i.e. becomes the opposite. In runescripts/ligatures they are designated “p.p.” - inverted position. Non-symmetrical TURISAZ, KENAZ, PERTH, BERKANO do not change when turned over, but turn from right to left - the so-called. mirror position. Their meaning also changes, but not necessarily to the opposite. In runescripts/ligatures they are designated “mirror p.” – mirror position.
The third group ANSUZ, LAGUZ, VUNIO, RAIDO, FEKHU turn and turn over. Their meanings also change at the same time. In runescripts/ligatures they are most often also designated “pp.” - inverted position.
There are also runes that do not flip or rotate. There are nine such runes : GEBO, HAGALAZ, NAUTIZ, ISA, IERA, EIVAZ, SOULO, INGUZ, DAGAZ . Their meaning is constant. But I have seen in ligatures that the author can write an irreversible rune in an inverted position, for example in “Curse of the Terrain” the Inguz rune.
Mirror runes were used not only as a means of simple secret writing, but also as a method of magical influence. The values are given for a set consisting of mirror runes; they mainly include only negative aspects and characterize problems and troubles. Some runes do not have a “mirror meaning” and are unchanged in outline.
FEHU
The material world is not in your control. Moreover, you and he are simply on different planes, and all attempts to control him are doomed to failure. It's better just not to touch him. All purchases are unsuccessful, attempts to earn money are in vain. When you intend to make progress in something in this area, everything literally collapses and flows through your fingers. The same can apply to “spiritual” values, i.e. friendship, love, if they are not “registered in heaven.” The “heavenly” will remain with you. However, you have reconciled yourself and accept a series of “failures” with stoic calm, which, however, sometimes explodes into wild, uncontrollable hysterics on the topic “since I am not able to get money,..etc.” The sign’s advice: spit on the money now, it still doesn’t work. Focus on the spiritual plane and just wait for the streak to end.
Inverted position: Unstable condition. Sudden enrichment and sudden trouble are equally possible. Risk situation. It might be worth going for it, but it's better to be on the safe side. Although it depends on personal choice and character traits.
What can they do? (z) – Limit the object’s ability to control the material sphere. The more he tries, the worse he will feel. Or - for yourself - to free yourself from the shackles of everyday problems, to free up the field of activity for the spirit and intellect. Leave everyday problems below the line of importance - let them solve themselves and not interfere.
(-z) – Apply before playing in a casino. If there is a win, it will be a big one. And if not... then no. Or in another matter, when it’s either hit or miss, the average doesn’t suit you.
URUZ
But here it depends on what exactly to take from Nifl. If illusory: self-confidence that has no basis; ChSV; It seems that “there is no one stronger than me,” but in fact, self-deception and sudden treacherous fear at the decisive moment will become a revelation. If dissipation: power is absorbed by death, and the will is eroded by pain; awareness of the futility of aspirations, defeat in the battle with the world; “reluctant humility”; apathy. You can: use it to induce a fatal disease or just force the object into a stupid position, through his own efforts.
Reversed: Ideal of the non-moral military leader. Determination, not limited by anything; "end justifies the means"; indomitable aspiration, but not passionate, but wise, calculating, cold. You can: remove interfering doubts, indecision based on dependence on the opinions of others; contribute to achieving the goal “at any cost”; strengthen your own sense of confidence, determination in life (depending on the starting level: to whom - what).
TURISAZ
The door is closed, but the key is in the lock. You have somewhat lost your adequate perception of reality and do not see that this path is closed. You are fighting against a closed door, and it brings nothing but pain and disappointment. Although there is a very small chance that you will still be able to open it by changing your current perception of the world (that is, either yourself or the world). But will this price suit you? After all, there will be no turning back. Here, if you act correctly (turn the key = look at the task from the other side, which is not organically characteristic of you) and do not stand up for the price, then you can achieve it, you can perform a miracle and get behind a closed door, but it is equally possible not to calculate your strength wherein. In any case, the world “after” will be different from the world “before”.
Reversed position: Strength, wisdom and right are in your hands, you fully own the tool for transforming the surrounding reality. And yet, yet you are not the Lord God, you lack infinity. Act within the boundaries (of law/official status/physical capabilities/...), and within these boundaries everything is available to you. Will provide full technical support to the “enterprise”, no less, but no more.
ANSUZ
You have fallen into a “fairy tale”. Exactly. It seems to you that you are in a wonderful magical world, but in fact you have lost all connection with reality and look, to put it mildly, inadequate. But the world around you cannot reach you, you do not see or hear it, and you do not need it. You have gone into your enchanted garden, and are unable to determine that it is not real. There is really no way to determine or prove this right now. Even attempts to turn to higher powers do not break through the borders of illusion; there is no answer. “Prophecies” and “revelations” are now just your dreams. Try to at least save some of your sanity, because the fairy tale is short-lived and you are in danger of following it. Beware. Can be used if you want to go into daydreams, forget yourself, or have a magical weekend. But you need to be able not to “get carried away” before the fairy tale begins to destroy you and perish with you. Under (z)Ansuz you can compose crazy and beautiful things both in words and in music, draw, and devote time to creativity. The main thing is not to overdo it.
Reversed position: You are now a titan of thought, creativity and energy, Einstein/Tsereteli/Paganini/Tolstoy/... You have enormous power behind you, and you are able to turn it into a thought, a word, a work of art or a grandiose project. You can write “War and Peace” or create a general field theory. But - you, like a tank, sweep away everything in your path. You bring your grandiose plan to life, while not paying attention to and destroying everything that happens to be “under your feet.” And “under your feet” is ordinary human life, both yours and those around you. Try to be careful, or later, when the great creation comes true, you will wake up among the ruins. Can be used if you need strength and energy for a major “creative”. But - only if you are confident that you can hold this flow. And in any case, the “recoil” will be strong. And if there is no “super idea”, it’s better not to touch it.
RAIDO
If Raido is the road under the arch of the rainbow “to nowhere,” then (z) Raido is a return, a return home, within the “framework,” a forced rather than a voluntary step; restriction of freedom, strategic retreat under the pressure of circumstances, but not flight. Can be used if you need strict control over yourself in a situation that is fraught with breakdown, but it is impossible to avoid it; to forcefully stop the development of a person or situation; rollback events, but you will have to go back step by step. As an option - physical or mental resuscitation by force of will (return from Death to Life) - but very energy-consuming to use.
Reversed: Your whole life is dedicated to the battle for justice and bringing order to the world (as you understand it), but you also have an intellect, and it also serves this goal. You are not doing anything stupid - you are fighting the Struggle, and you are a very serious opponent. It can be used when sound judgment is important, it is necessary to act as a judge, understand the situation and make the right decision with intelligence and honor (put things in order). Or, if you have the courage to look at yourself/the situation/surroundings with open eyes and see its true face, but wisdom is needed.
KANO
It is possible to distinguish between “mirror” and “reverse” in composition (but not in outline). They will still look the same when drawn. The outside world and the pressure of the outside world; disharmony; closing Circumstances are stronger than you and force you to follow their course. Attempts at your own actions are doomed to failure, the paths are closed. Most likely, you won’t be able to break out of the flow with your own efforts; all you have to do is wait it out, wait until you turn. But changes can come from outside. If anyone wants to help you with this now. Can be: used to refer to the “external world”; setting a limit; closing something (period, flow, action, situation). You can pull out a “thread” of sensuality from Vanaheim and, under the direction of the “uncontrollability” of Jotunheim, take someone out of the game by giving him/her such a “gift” - the madness of passion (whom you don’t feel sorry for, of course. And you don’t need 4 Turisaz ).
Inverted position: “Running in place” or chasing a mirage. You are a generator of unrealistic ideas, a creator of a “perpetual motion machine,” a projector. Stop, what seems so brilliant to you cannot actually come true. It’s not that the world is bad, since your genius is not recognized, everything is in order with the world, but you have been taken to the wrong place. You should not take on a project that has just dawned on you; it will bring nothing but failure. It’s possible: Maybe to get someone out of the way, providing him with something to do according to the principle “whatever the child enjoys,” and throw some bait so that he gets into his own crazy idea and doesn’t get in the way.
VUNIE
It may seem that the world is mocking you: the success achieved immediately turns into loss, a successful start to movement leads to a dead end, an apparent victory turns out to be just “smoke”, and all this is so deliberate, so stupid that it seems that a malicious laugh is about to be heard from heaven . Or maybe it's time to laugh at yourself. You can: give someone a run of trouble, wear them out, maybe prepare them to fall “warm” into your hands. Or for yourself - to fight with inflated self-esteem. So that life doesn’t seem like honey. Train your endurance and sense of humor.
Reversed: You walk on a razor's edge, but the favor of the gods is with you. If you are merciless to yourself, you will achieve your desired goal. But weakness will not be forgiven - luck will immediately turn away from you, and you will experience all the retribution for your insolence. Possible: for the strong and risky – luck in a dangerous game. If you are confident in your intention and strength of spirit and mind.
HAGALAZ
What remains after a lightning strike? - Ashes. What is a body in which the soul is killed? - Ashes. The collapse of the very spiritual foundation of life, that which constituted its rationale and meaning. Disappointment in the most important thing. Burnout from the inside. You will have to use all your strength and will and reassemble yourself from the ashes and build your life. You can: destroy a personality, an idea, a system of values and life guidelines, the purpose and meaning of life/actions. There will be an empty form that will disintegrate on its own. Destruction is more terrible than just physical death.
NAUTIZ
The connection seems to be less rigid, from the need of the “body” to the need of the “spirit,” but it is no better. Dependence, mental submission, depression. Now you are in submission: to your habit, the object of affection, circumstances, the chosen path or something else, but you are not able to make an independent decision or take a responsible step. However, what have you been given the will to do? If you have enough of it and there is a desire, free yourself, the problem is in you. You can: organize the dependence and subordination of the object, deprive the will of resistance, “mentally suppress.” Unlike direct Naud, dependence will not be based on external circumstances, but on the conviction of the object itself that “he can’t live without you.” This is a more subtle and cunning connection. You can denote the concept of “dependency” in compound spells.
YERA
The reverse move (if (z)Raido is based on cause-and-effect relationships, then here it is based on time), from the result to its initial parts, a departure into the past, even if only psychological. The focus of your attention is stuck in the past, the situation has changed a long time ago, and you are still experiencing what they were like and do not see the present moment. Or you can’t escape from some past situation. Conscious withdrawal and “anchoring” in the past is possible as protection from the discomfort of “today.” It may also mean the need for a thorough analysis of the sources, the initial data from the very beginning. You can: slow down time; focusing on the past; good for historical research and “travel of consciousness”, when you need to remember something, “go back”. It is unlikely to be suitable for constant use, or your personal time will increasingly lag behind your surroundings - a sure way to the “past”.
EIVAZ
Not “mirror” in meaning. The axis of the Absolute reflects on itself, the difference is whether you look at it from top to bottom or from bottom to top. Branches-roots-trunk, ash and in the mirror - the same tree.
PERTH
Falling “into the clutches of Fate” is destined to happen inevitably, and a variant of “black fate” or fate. In the easiest case, it is a closure on oneself, or falling into the trap of patterns. You will live, but not the way you want, but the way you have to. It is possible: a good curse or a conscious cruel choice to go through one’s own karmic problems and “work off” them. The option of voluntarily transferring oneself (for a while, perhaps more than one life, but not forever) under the power of Fate as an escape from retribution for a committed and conscious act is possible. You will have to work, but not as a punishment (and not as a measure of punishment), but what She (fate) itself assigns, and for as long as it assigns, in time. In this case, the character becomes an “instrument of fate” and is no longer responsible for himself.
Reversed: Initiation, transition to the “next level”, direct intervention of the gods, a complete break with the past and the beginning of a new life as a new person (“enlightened”). You will be a prophet or a messenger, but you will have to forget about “simple human things.” Entering the path of the chosen ones. You can: you can risk getting into something like this yourself, but if you overestimate your strength, no one will return the roof. And it is better to cut off all connections with the human level in advance.
SOVELU
Radiance of personality; an action with a destructive outcome - “good intentions...” It may mean that you are now working as a “flashlight”: your inner light and power generously flow “outside”, but they are not limitless, and you cannot stop now. The candle inevitably burns out, and this threatens you too. Did you do this deliberately? It may also warn that what you are doing now will ultimately prove destructive. You will achieve a long-awaited victory in a particular direction, but it turns out that this particular is part of such a “general” that you never expected, and everything is presented exclusively “in one bottle,” and, having achieved your goal, you have destroyed a lot of things, both yours and others’ . In general, the sign bears clear features of “mockery.” Everything seems to be fine, but... nothing good! You can: Do you want to punish the object by fulfilling his wishes? Give him such a talisman. And don't forget to get away. You can turn it on for a while if you need to give it your all, use all your reserves, and direct all your efforts to a specific point. But - to be able not to cross the line of self-destruction.
BERKANA
Berkana – “quasi-mirror” – the mirror position coincides with the inverted one and actually does not exist. “Hardness of growth.” Mothers who, with their intrusive care, do not allow their child to take a step and gain his own personal experience, act under this sign. Here also: stopping growth, transition to the opposite - “fixation leading to a decrease in what has been achieved.” (“The grown tree dries up.”) From here we get the interpretation of the “Mother Goddess” (the original beginning) - “Audumla” - the first mythical nurse of the first creatures) in her ancient and formidable hypostasis - the chaotic initial worlds; rebirth through decay. You can: manipulate actions, playing on the “settings of the value system”, use sophistry to achieve the desired behavior of the object. He will not be happy to do/not do something, but will feel obligated. It will not work for the “risky”, as well as for those who do not have “society attitudes”.
Inverted position: “Growth, development” The bright hypostasis of the Mother Goddess, the life-giving principle, supported by ancient power, strength and wisdom; keeper.
LAGUZ
“Swamp”, stagnation, when it is not clear where to move at all and not a single action gives a noticeable response. The thread of events has disintegrated, causes and consequences exist on their own, and their connection cannot be seen. You can: stop the annoying object or the stream of events that has captured you and which does not suit you, “turn off to a quiet place and sit out,” but not for long, because there is nothing good in this place and you can “get stuck.”
Reversed position: Harmony of will and mind, every action is backed by force and is in consonance with the higher will, you understand what needs and should be done in the world and do it, harshly but correctly. You can: use it when moving towards a global goal, ensure the mobilization of your own forces and “support for peace.” The world will be with you.
GEBO does not have a separate “mirror” meaning, different from the direct one, but it concludes with advice to refuse gifts for a while, not to accept any gifts and to refuse offers, so as not to take over the troubles and problems of others.
TEYVAZ Win, victory, but at a high price, an indication that it is worth weighing all options and possibly giving up the fight so as not to lose something really important in the process, a useless pursuit of a goal, an unjustified step.
Reversed position: Lack of will to win, unwillingness to change the situation, an unexpected stab in the back, it is worth paying attention to the people around you. Can be used to weaken or destroy the will of an object.
EVAZ Lack of work, inability to find a job to your liking, wrongly chosen path. Stagnation in business, lack of movement and development, lack of indicators for making the right decision. Indication of the need to seek advice from someone.
Reversed position: Loss of oneself, discord with oneself, internal contradictions, the solution of which depends only on the person. It can be used to sow discord in the enemy’s mind, push him to the wrong idea, force him to use inappropriate means, or listen to “harmful” advice.
MANNAZ Your “shadow” fears and desires will come out, everything that was hidden in the depths of consciousness or soul will rise to the surface. “Revival” of all negative qualities, situations in which all the “dirty laundry” is pulled out.
Reversed position: Hiding true desires and feelings, the impossibility of discovering secrets, the hidden, the inability to find out the essence. You can: use it to make the object ruin its own life, to pull out all the bad qualities.
DAGAZ The rune does not have a “mirror” meaning, it is positive in all aspects. Dawn always remains dawn.
INGUZ Hasty decisions and conclusions, a misinterpreted situation, an illusion, a “fall from a height” and the collapse of what has been achieved if the decision (due to the situation, circumstances, etc.) is too quick. Not everything is always as it seems at first glance. Possible: for the rapid destruction of achievements and collapse.
ODAL Problems with “family”, troubles in the family, misunderstanding of loved ones, refusal of traditions, unwillingness to cope with everyday and domestic problems. Everyday life puts pressure on a person and drags him into the swamp of small problems that accumulate but are not solved.
Reversed position: Avoiding problems, breaking family ties as a way to find oneself, unpreparedness for responsibility for relatives, devastation in the “household.” It is possible: to break off relations with relatives, to end old connections, to destroy the “home atmosphere”.
mirror – (z); inverted mirror – (-z) or (trans. z)

The meaning of the inverted rune Mannaz
Greed, unhealthy selfishness. Man tends to blame the world around him for all misfortunes, from people to nature. At the same time, there is an increased desire to feel sorry for oneself. In other words, the enemy is within the person himself.
The most important advice in this case is to be honest with yourself. Breaking the inertia of a past life and established habits is incredibly difficult, but it is necessary, otherwise resentment towards everyone and everything will take root even more.
Mannaz reversed - rune of unhealthy selfishness
The meaning of the reversed Perth rune
A kind of personification of a “disservice” . A person may sincerely want to use his knowledge or skills to benefit others, but in reality, instead of benefit, there is a risk of harm. Being in the world of illusions has never benefited anyone.
However, there may also be quite conscious manipulation of other people. In any case, this will lead to a series of mistakes and a depressed state.
IMPORTANT: It is worth trying to reconsider your motives and desires.
Also, this rune can signal an attachment to the past , which should be released - otherwise there will be a “disservice” to oneself. Do not be guided in your affairs by the past, but do not think too much about the future either. Live here and now.

Origin of Slavic runes
Slavic runes are a hypothetical writing system used by the ancient Slavs before the invention of the Glagolitic and Cyrillic alphabet.
The history of the origin of Slavic runes is not known for certain. Many researchers believe that the ancient Slavs had no written language at all. However, others argue for the existence of the Old Slavic alphabet.
In particular, in the 10th-11th centuries, the famous German historian, Bishop Thietmar, described the Lutich tribe. He paid special attention to a Slavic temple filled with “strange” idols and signs.
The Arab writer of that time, Ibn El Nedim, also saw similar runes on the tombstones of ancient Slavic burials.
Archaeological excavations also support the existence of Slavic runes. Many ceramic objects were found with fragments of inscriptions that were associated specifically with ancient Slavic writing.
18 Slavic runes have survived to this day :
Slavic and Scandinavian runes: what is the connection
Currently, the most famous runes are Scandinavian. Much more information has been preserved about them than about other types of runic writing.
There is a reasonable explanation for this: Scandinavian runes were carved mainly on stone, while many other peoples preferred wood. As a result, the signs on the stone were preserved, but the wooden ones were destroyed or lost.
According to some experts, Slavic runic writing could have originated precisely from the ancient Germanic alphabet (which gave rise to the Scandinavian runes). As an argument, the similarity of some Slavic runes with individual ancient Germanic symbols is given.
For example, the Slavic rune “Peace” is similar in outline to the Scandinavian “Algiz”. The Slavic “Rainbow” is written like the Scandinavian “Raido”, etc.
There is also a version that both alphabets originated at approximately the same time from the same source. And only then the pronunciation, spelling and meaning changed.
According to a beautiful legend, the Scandinavians received their runes from the gods who came from the north (Hyperborea), and the Slavic ones from the gods of the south (Atlantis).
How Slavic runes were used
Slavic runes were used not only for writing, but also as amulets. Amulets with runic images served to protect against the evil eye and other magical influences from enemies. In addition to this function, runes in amulets can give their owner incredible strength and help in solving problematic issues.
Runes are still in demand as a talisman today: thanks to their magical power, you can influence your destiny, count on success in your career, creativity or in relationships with people. Slavic symbols can also give confidence and impetus to self-improvement.
You could find runes on different objects:
- walls and doors;
- cloth;
- dishes;
- interior items;
- military uniforms, equipment and weapons.
Nowadays, tattoos with Slavic runes are popular. This is a sure way to endow yourself with enormous power and enlist the support of ancient deities.
But you need to choose an image for a tattoo carefully. If you misunderstand the interpretation and also do not believe in its power, you can get into trouble instead of protection. Carefully study the meaning of runes and choose them depending on the desired effect.
The meaning of the inverted Laguz rune
Overexertion and quite likely a nervous breakdown. You are probably striving towards your goal with all your might, not sparing yourself. However, at the moment the goal is still unattainable, so try to relax. A quiet environment, meditation, and pleasant music will contribute to this in the best possible way.
Also, do not turn to intuition in attempts to solve the problem - now it will not work for you due to the same nervous overstrain.
Find a “gap” in yourself and try to understand your “I”. Perhaps unresolved internal conflicts also contribute to the state of overstrain.
Laguz inverted - rune-nervous breakdown

Uruz is that measure of primitive energy from which everything came, which is present in a person, or manifests itself in a person’s environment. Mirror Uruz in treatment formulas will work more gently, will increase the body’s reserves, but will not overwhelm it with excess energy or create an overload. By influencing the mirror Uruz with other runes, we appeal to the hidden resources of the body, or accelerate the explosion, the manifestation of certain events in a specific situation.
Turs - mirror Turs stirs up chaos and shreds everything and everyone more precisely and narrowly focused than the direct one. He hits where it hurts the most, clears away the most unnecessary, burdensome obstacles.
Ansuz - mirror Ansuz - is an appeal to the mind, to the creative spark of a particular person, to his personal unique experience, the embodiment of the most reasonable and fair outcome of the matter, and not within the global, but local. This is a reasonable and fair outcome in a dispute between several people. From the point of view of outsiders, it may be ridiculous and even outrageous, but for all concerned it will be optimal.
Raido - mirror Raido - is your internal compass, where to go, it is an alarm that will tell you that you are on the wrong path. This is your desire to move, to look for the right path.
Nautiz – mirror Nautiz – this is your I WANT. It’s not necessary, it’s not supposed to, but only I and only WANT. And let the whole world collapse. The use of mirror Nautiz can excite these desires, or it can destroy them (depending on what you use it with.) Direct and mirror Nautiz often pop up in galdrastafs. This is a manifestation of approximately the following statement - this must happen, because I WANT, or the suggestion YOU SHOULD because YOU WANT.
Soulu - mirror Soulu is a short circuit, this is blinding and loss of orientation due to the light shining directly into the eyes. These are uncontrollable lumbago and spasms of the nervous system, a sharp release of all forces, all energy reserves, after which nothing remains.
Kenaz - mirror Kenaz is a hidden inner flame, a fenced-off, unmanifested spark of creativity, individuality and passion. This is a sleeping magician. By using the mirror Kenaz with other runes, you can both reveal what is hidden in a person, and prevent it from appearing, and prevent others from noticing it.
Vunyo - mirror Vunyo - is success and real joy, yours, only yours. What will be incomprehensible and not noticeable in the overall picture of your life for others, but will be real and significant for you. This is your inner happiness and achievements that you may not notice. Again, they can be manifested, or they can be destroyed. Sometimes this turns out to be much more painful and terrible than the destruction of direct Vunyo - the obvious, superficial joy and achievements that are in plain sight.
Perth – mirror Perth – is your subconscious, the hidden sources of your problems and successes. This is your inner world. The mirror perth will make you immerse yourself there. This is also your personal space, what surrounds you. You can better appreciate it and see it with the help of a mirror pen. If you add Issa to it, you will not be able to get out of there. And you will find yourself withdrawing from the world, getting stuck in your own nightmares and experiences. Perhaps even a mental hospital.
Berkano - mirror Berkano - this is how you understand harmony, this is the manifestation of your natural qualities, personal, individual, which nature gave you. This is also what you want from nature, how you want to look, what you want to change in yourself. Mirror Berkano, as an addition to at least the direct one, is very good in formulas for beauty and rejuvenation.
Laguz – mirror Laguz – the flow of your subjective time, your thoughts, your life. If it stands out from the general flow of conventions and laws of the existence of time, you are swimming against the tide. Mirror Laguz, in combination with suitable runes, will easily unsettle a person, introduce uncontrollable stupid events into his life, and force him to do strange, unnecessary things.
Inverted runes and mirror inverted runes carry approximately the same meaning, only mirror inverted runes act more harshly and hit more precisely, they deprive not the source of inspiration, but the creative spark itself, they do not just block the path, but kill the desire to follow this path, they take away this path.
Direct and mirror runes are often found in pairs in galdrastafs. This is not just doubling a direct rune, it is invocation and manipulation of global and local manifestations of runes. Intertwined direct and mirror runes often already constitute a galdrastaff or the backbone for a galdrastaff.
Uruz - Inverted Uruz is the dispersion, release of forces, the foundations of the foundations of life. This results in powerlessness, the inability to fight and fight. But this can be like “bloodletting” for a violently insane person, or a direct release of excess energy for an epileptic.
Ansuz is a loss of sound thinking, the ability to adequately and fairly perceive the world and draw conclusions. Inability to discover the meaning of what is happening. An inverted Ansuz does not allow you to understand, process and make sense of what is happening, does not allow you to see rational cause-and-effect relationships. With an inverted Ansuz directed at someone, in order to somehow cope with an incomprehensible situation, he is forced to turn to the subconscious, to animal sources. With a mirror inverted Ansuz, a person loses the opportunity to use personal experience, personal reason. The line is thin, but the simply inverted Ansuz from the moment of action seems to tempt you, preventing you from seeing the rational grain (hence the psychos, aggression, glitches with the necessary runes). Mirror inverted makes a person dull and slows down thought processes.
Raido - inverted Raido - the path is closed and you cannot see it. You realize this, you break, try to return to this path. Mirror inverted - you don’t see this path, you don’t even look for it anymore, you have lost your intuitive inner compass, which told you that you are going the wrong way.
Vunye - inverted Vunyo - it happened, but it didn’t bring joy, something is happening, but there is no success in sight, the world around us is not happy, everything is disgusting. The mirror inverted is almost the same thing, only it hits purely individual joys and achievements. In the first case, work stopped making me happy; in the second, listening to my favorite song while sitting in my favorite chair on Friday evening. And also the failure of a project at work in the first case and the failure of arranging your home. It seems that failure is always unpleasant, but there is a difference.
Nautiz - inverted Nautiz - I won’t, I don’t need it.
Inverted mirror - I don’t want it, why do I need it?
Algiz is an inverted Algiz (it is believed that this is the same as tracing paper), this is departure, refusal of the patronage of higher powers, restriction from connections that nourish and give strength. De-energizing the body.
Tyr - there is no incentive to fight, nothing excites the primitive instinct of the hunter, he is asleep. Loss of strength (impotence, including moral impotence). But at the same time, with an excess of these instincts, when masculinity turns into pure aggression or outright masculinity, the inverted Tyr will help to dampen this.
Evaz - an inverted Evaz - jumped and did not reach, the passage was not just closed, it no longer exists, it was walled up. There is no way to move, and there is simply nowhere to move.
Madr - inverted Madr is your bare Self, without ties to family, religion, various groups. A reversed Madr can cause a person to show their true colors. It can help you become more aware of yourself. How to use it depends on the situation.
Laguz - inverted Laguz - all events have slowed down, the world seems to have stopped, you float like a fly in molasses. Mirror inverted Laguz is a stupor, everything is rushing around, and everything is passing me by, but I am dumb and don’t understand what to do.
Odal – Odal reversed – is well characterized by the song “I am free like the wind in the sky.” This is the dissolution of all borders, limits and strongholds. A material home, a family, a body that holds the spirit, restrictions and prevailing laws and oaths. Again, how to use it is up to everyone to decide for themselves.
Fehu is money. An inverted Fehu is like a wallet that has been opened and spilled onto the ground. Excellent for damage to ruin. When you need to turn the bins inside out and shake out everything you can from them.
Mirror Fehu is the embodiment of immoderation and greed, when you grab everything you see and cannot stop. It works great for removing inhibitions from a person - to instill gluttony, theft, drunkenness, unhealthy sexual hunger, etc.
Ass - Mirror position - manifests a piece of the divine essence in each specific creature, an appeal to your higher self. In the Galdrastafs it states that you, with your will and your intention, direct the power of the remaining runes to the goal you need, control their work.
Inverted position - loss of control over the situation, immersion in the origins of the world, over which no one has power, not even the Gods. In galdrastafs it can be used to destroy any situations, remove protections and bindings.
The inverted mirror position is a descent into the wilds of one’s own subconscious, its wild, uncontrollable part, which everyone tries to forget about, touching one’s shadow side. In galdrastafs it can be used to induce madness, as well as for an in-depth study of one’s own essence, and the fight against one’s own shortcomings.
Ir - Mirror position - mobilizes and awakens the warrior and protector in a person. Good in staves to sharpen attention, against troubles and deceptions.
Inverted position - failure to achieve the goal, confusion, indecision, fog. It will not allow you to achieve your goal.
An inverted mirror position will lead to disorientation and stupor. It will make you constantly hesitate, instead of making a decision and following the chosen path.
Ear - Inverted position - to raise what has already become obsolete from the dust, look into the past and call on ghosts from there. It can help you remember, find information in the past, and return some situation from there.
Kalk is NOT the same as Futhark’s Algiz. It is still an empty ritual cup, ready to be filled again. This is hope, and the first ray of dawn, when the sky is no longer dark, but not light either. Rune of twilight and borderline situations. Good in galdrastaf for maintaining the psyche in very difficult situations, for understanding and accepting phenomena such as death.

The meaning of the inverted Thurisaz rune
Stupor, energy exhausted. There may well be a feeling of hopelessness, impasse, helplessness.
IMPORTANT: The main thing is not to panic. Yes, it is not possible to resolve the conflict that is tormenting you at the moment, but try to focus on other things instead.
Tune in to a wave of calm, to a working mood. They will come in handy later when you need to understand the reasons for failures. And then you can return to the problem to resolve it.
Thurisaz inverted - stupor rune
The meaning of the reversed Ansuz rune
Futility. It seems that any actions are useless, and what is happening around cannot be explained. Do not rush to reproach yourself and become despondent - the current situation was inevitable and happened exactly when it was needed.
Knowledge will not be absorbed by you. Maybe you will be in the shoes of an “eternal student.” Or maybe you simply find yourself unable to absorb information at the moment that would help resolve the tormenting situation.
IMPORTANT: Do not trust anything you hear or see. There is a high probability that a lie awaits you.
Ansuz inverted - futility rune
The meaning of the inverted Vunyo rune
Disappointment, crisis. The person will experience disharmony, contradiction, disagreement, and anxiety. What is happening will squeeze all the energy out of a person. It might even force you to give up on yourself.
No matter how strange it may seem, you need to try to calm down. Changing right now won't change anything, but you can breathe easy and try to find your way out in the dark.
Try to learn life lessons . In general, in such a crisis it would be very useful to recognize yourself.
Vunyo inverted - rune-crisis, disappointment
The concept of mirror runes
Mirror runes can inspire weakness, lead you off course, and force you to give up your dreams. They destroy love and faith. Therefore, they are used in the composition of elliptical ligatures, when inducing damage. These include 15 signs, some of which are also inverted.
If the outline of a symbol is symmetrical horizontally, when it is rotated, a mirror value (mirror point) is formed. According to the principle of influence, it means a person’s conscious refusal to accept a direct interpretation. This interpretation is similar to the world through the looking glass, where everything is topsy-turvy, immutable laws crumble, and sand castles become strongholds. Usually this is the result of self-deception or weak will, when there is no desire to fight and the current carries away in the opposite direction from the goal.
The meaning of the reversed Kano rune
Emptiness, darkness, some kind of loss. Perhaps the time has come to abandon what has become obsolete.
IMPORTANT: You should be alert, because during this period something important may be destroyed - friendship, marriage, or even part of your “I”.
Runa Kano advises to throw away all thoughts and, if trouble happens, just try to believe in yourself . Be sure to start creating something new.
Kano inverted - rune-emptiness
The meaning of the inverted Nautiz rune
Internal evil due to laziness, stinginess, constraint, a constant tendency to teach, accumulated problems, whims, contradictions, temper and obstinacy. All a person’s problems come from himself - somewhere he did not want to solve them, and somewhere he was simply lazy.
This cannot be done without cleansing. This can be done through strengthening character, restraining anger, cultivating determination, and gaining faith . This rune may seem extremely negative, but it appears this way precisely when a person does not want to work on himself.
Nautiz inverted - rune-internal evil
The meaning of the inverted Raido rune
If a person gets an inverted Raido in the layouts, then he needs to pay attention to such a signal and be
ready to solve problems along the way. These can be any difficulties.
This Raido Rune in an inverted position in interpretations affects several areas of human life. The inverted position of Ride may mean the need for some reason to postpone the trip for a while, reschedule it for a more suitable time. In addition, an inverted symbol can be a harbinger of inconvenience on the road, for example, problems with transport. This sign can also warn a person about receiving various injuries during travel. Traveling, for example, to a funeral to see a loved one causes mental trauma. Such a symbol can also warn about this. But at the same time, this position of the sign may foreshadow a sudden purchase of a tour to another country. And this interpretation is already viewed in a positive way. However, for the most part, the reverse position of the Runes is interpreted not so optimistically. The influences of other Runes are taken into account.
Use of Runes in magic
Even ancient people used Runes and their wisdom to improve their lives, achieve goals, improve relationships, etc. However, the secrets of the Runes were owned by a select few, masters of the mystical arts. Such magicians were able to interpret, read the messages and warnings of the Runes. With the help of the Raido Rune and other signs, various talismans and amulets were created. They used runes to tell fortunes about the state of affairs in love and relationships, health and career. This art is still used today. Thanks to Ride's message to a fortuneteller, you can find out what awaits him on the road, travel, and also check whether he has chosen the right path in his life.
But amulets and talismans with this Rune should be used with caution. The symbol needs activation, which subsequently requires recharge from an energy source. And it is the bearer, the owner of the talisman, amulet. This may worsen your health. Such cases occur when the person activating the Rune miscalculated his own strength. Lack of energy for activation and disruption of the process itself can be fraught with consequences.
The meaning of the inverted rune Fehu, Feu
A loss . It can affect plans, property, achievements. A person is in a state where he watches something disappear, but cannot do anything.
IMPORTANT: However, such a rune can teach something - it teaches you to form the right experience and accumulate knowledge useful in life.
Imagine that all your achievements are a bowl. And it will no longer be possible to fill an overflowing cup. Maybe after partially emptying it, it will be possible to fill it with something else, more useful?
Fehu reversed - rune-loss
As you can see, inverted runes bring a negative connotation to fortune telling. However, every such negative lesson teaches something and can be used for good. We did not describe some runes for the reason that their inverted state is identical to the usual one.
Interpretation
If a reversible rune appears in the layout, it indicates a problem and gives advice on how to solve it. Mirror meanings distort the gift invested by the gods in these signs. Each of the symbols points to the lies and fragility of existence:
- Turisaz makes you waste your life energy and causes self-destruction.
- Kenaz talks about tinsel that hides the truth and forces deception.
- Hagalaz promises to leave a person without the most necessary things, indicating a break with roots.
- Nautiz - embitterment and reluctance to solve the problem, shifting responsibility onto the shoulders of others.
- Yera shows the desire to go beyond the system, which brings destruction.
- Eyvaz destroys the connection between the parts of the whole, which leads to his death.
- Perth indicates a dangerous blindness to what is happening, a refusal to see the situation.
- Soulu makes people weak and weak-willed, takes away freedom.
- Berkana is false, suffocating care, love, which leads to death.
A constant desire to increase his wealth will arise in a person who has received the Fehu symbol in reflected form.
A rotated and inverted rune is interpreted differently, depending on the situation, internal sensation or neighboring signs. There are 6 such symbols in total:
- Fehu in the mirror. p. forces one to throw everything at the feet of the golden calf, makes the passion of accumulating wealth the only purpose of existence. In p.p. indicates poverty.
- Uruz replaces real power with an imaginary one, changing priorities. A person loses the meaning of what is happening: he either suffers deprivation, although he can influence the situation, or all his actions only bring harm. In p.p. - weak motivation, unexpected changes.
- Ansuz shows that a person deliberately refuses knowledge and submits to whim.
- If the inverted Raido rune means stopping, then the mirror one means either the wrong goal or false ways to achieve it.
- Vunyo personifies joy, but not sincere and real, but that comes from ignorance of the truth.
- Laguz means loss of direction and orientation.
The inverted Algiz rune promises weakness and vulnerability, greed, a missed moment of triumph. Teyvaz in the reverse position indicates self-deception, weakness, the need to look for the root of all troubles inside, and not outside. Evaz shows the need to let go of the situation. In contrast to the direct position, it promises stagnation, an obstacle, forced idleness. Mannaz in reverse says that the cause of failure is greed and selfishness. It appears when a person is protected from everyone or finds himself in a dependent position. Odal promises losses that will open up new horizons.
