The journey to the river's endbe long and danger fraught
and he who walks with providence
must shackle every thought
and when upon the rock he stands
with victory in sight
the spectre shall be cast away
to perish in the light
The Rune Ing is representative of the God Ing, male consort to the Earth Mother, goddess of Fertility and nurture, Nerthus. Ing is the god of the hearth, the inglenook, and this rune has a protective quality for households. Ing is a symbol of light, firebrand or beacon, transmitting a signal far and wide.
Ing is indicative of potential energy, the capability of limitless extension reflected in the geometrical form of the rune itself. It is potential energy which must build up for a period of accumulation before being released as a single burst of power.
In rune castings, it can indicate the beginning of new directions, the commencement of a project or the successful completion of plans. The arrival of an event in the life of the querent, however minor, could be most significant. Ing is found often to herald the arrival of events which end stalemate; where life is apparently not going to change no matter what steps are taken to enforce a change. Ing is a subtle yet powerful energy which reveals that a force outside of the querent's own will bring in that elusive change.
