Inguz Rune Tarot Spread ⋆ Angelorum Tarot

In today’s post, I share the Inguz Rune Tarot Spread. Inguz is associated with male deities and their cyclic journey of birth, sacrifice, resurrection and rebirth.

Whoever seeks to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it. (Luke 17:33)

More specifically, in Norse Mythology, Inguz is associated with the fertility god Freyr who in even more ancient time was known as Yngvi/Ing.

On our spiritual journey, Inguz symbolises reaching a stage where we must sacrifice at least a portion of ourselves/what we see as ours, to make room for new growth and evolution.

The previous rune, Laguz is associated with The Hanged Man but so is Inguz – for the sacrifice portion of this card. Inguz also resonates with aspects of the Death card that carries the lesson of dying to the old self if we wish to transform into our true selves. The Tarot Aces resonate with Inguz as a seed energy.

The Anglo-Saxon rune poem for Inguz:

Ing was first seen by men among the East-Danes,
till, followed by his chariot,
he departed eastwards over the waves.
So the Heardingas named the hero.
