Mannaz

Mannaz embodies human intelligence, consciousness and higher awareness, it is the rune of the perfected being. The term 'perfected being' is not what we see today as the toxic perfectionism that results in self-doubt and fears of failure or rejection. The 'perfected being' is focused and flexible, confident with who they are and what they have to offer. The 'perfected being' seeks truth and understanding in every interaction, they are open to learning from mistakes understanding that failure is only an opportunity to learn and grow. Through self-dedication and commitment to personal growth and spiritual evolution, any person can attain the divine archetype within themselves. By doing so, they not only expand their own healing and development but also pass it on through generations in their ancestral line as well as positively impacting their communities. This ultimately leads to becoming an exceptional individual who has achieved perfection while being unique at the same time.

Mannaz is the rune that signifies social engagement and integration, symbolizing all of humanity coming together to achieve a shared objective. Its shape consists of two Wunjo runes facing each other, with Dagaz and Gebo created within it. As the rune representing humankind in its perfected form, Mannaz embodies the joy and light of tribes or societies through mutual giving and receiving relationships that enlighten consciousness. This understanding emphasizes our need as unique individuals to thrive within communities for them to evolve successfully. We can work towards common goals while still expressing individuality because we possess innate power that enables us to seek guidance from others when necessary instead of struggling alone. Mannaz teaches us how asking for help fosters growth both personally and collectively within society.

Mannaz is a potent symbol for those seeking guidance in their personal development and spiritual paths. Incorporating Mannaz into one's magical or ritual practices aligns them with the energies of higher awareness and spiritual enlightenment, strengthening their focus and intention towards the greater good.
