Great intelligence is born of divine or higher knowledge. There is happiness in inner & social life born of a realization of the truths of human existence. Blinders removed. Awakening. See things as they are. Could indicate seekers of any kind. Success in learning. Self-development: nurture & grow that which is natural & unique to you. Your gifts are necessary not only for your personal development & fulfillment but for the betterment of those in your chosen community. Never doubt yourself, never doubt the magic that flows through your soul. **Merkstave/Reversed:** Depression due to the perception of hopelessness. Dwell on mortality & weakness, fearing true knowledge. Relationships are based on lies & misperceptions. A blockage of Mannaz leads to blindness, self-delusion, & tendency to live in fantasy. Isolation. Low self-esteem. Our alignment with the inner self. Need downtime away from others to tune back in. May indicate not likely to receive assistance from someone else at this time. Or interference from others toward a goal you’re working toward. Self-reliance & unconventional approaches are useful. > “I see your eyes, they are my own. I see your struggle, it is mine. I commit to developing myself in all ways so that you, my brothers & sisters, can rise, & thrive alongside me.” **Meditation:** [Mannaz :mannaz: - Magin Rose](https://youtu.be/T1wh72ELdJE) **Sources:** - Chamberlain, Lisa. _Runes for Beginners: A Guide to Reading Runes in Divination, Rune Magic, and the Meaning of the Elder Futhark Runes_ .
