When Ehwaz appears in a reversed position, it indicates a temporary obstacle that may hinder personal growth. However, this obstacle can be overcome with determination and effort, stimulating future development and growth. The rune also may symbolize the start of necessary changes and potential temporary challenges. These changes may manifest as relationship conflicts and financial difficulties, but they should not be considered the end of the road. Instead, they should be seen as obstacles that need to be overcome to progress. Make sure that your actions and attitudes are timely. Perhaps you are doing — or not doing — something that is not right for you at this time.

How to Use Ehwaz

Ehwaz is a rune of partnership and friendship. It translates to “horse” and represents the trust, loyalty, and faithfulness that exists between the horse and rider. It is also a rune of movement, but more so in the metaphorical sense. It ensures movement towards a goal and allows tasks to flow from beginning to end. It also brings a sense of confidence in one’s journey. Ehwaz may be used in several different ways. Perhaps you are looking to establish or strengthen a friendship or partnership. Ehwaz may be gifted to this individual to signify and foster this positive intention. For more personal use, Ehwaz can be helpful to call upon when working to complete a project or task. Carry it with you to amplify these efforts.

Due to its meaning of “horse,” Ehwaz may be connected to the great eight legged horse Sleipnir along with Odin by association. Carry Ehwaz with you to honor their great partnership or include this rune in your space of worship.
