Gods/Godesses/Deities:
Lore:
Ing is considered to be the name of an Germanic earth god, who works in tandem with the earth mother, Nerthus. Ingwaz represents the male consort of the earth mother, and the priest who attends her.
Positive Meaning:
This rune is a storehouse of potential energy that must undergo a gestation period in order to gain strength. Ingwaz is the stave of rest, of active internal growth. There is a deep-level gestation of new power. Rest, Let things "gestate", to be brought forth at the right time in full maturity.
Negative Meaning:
This can be a seductive force, fooling you into thinking it is the "end" rather than a stage; thus it is the curse of many mystics. There is movement but without real change.
