The Rune Kenaz literally means 'Torch' and symbolizes the harnessing, and the control, of fire for warmth and illumination. It represents harnessing forces and energies greater than ourselves.
It is also a rune that indicates transformation and illumination through learning and wisdom. The use of new skills and techniques to harness creativity and ingenuity.
Kenaz is the fire brand and can indicate security and safety in the home and in relationships. Where there is fire there is warmth, so symbolically as a fire brand, Kenaz extends the flames of illumination into aspects of life where there once was shadow.
Where there are shadows, there is fear; remove the shadows and fear can be extinguished ... leading to security and understanding of life's lessons.
