The Mythology of Uruz
It is believed that Uruz originally represented the masculine side of a primordial pair, the feminine being the cow Audhumla (see Fehu). Another God associated with this rune is Thor, the most macho of the Vikings gods, a champion and the god of stormy weather.
How to Interpret Uruz
It is easier letting the wild animal lose than to get the wild animal back in again. So whatever you are starting when Uruz turns up in a reading, you neither can walk away from nor contain once it has started. There’s no returning now. Whatever you have let lose has it’s own power and is like a force of nature. Uruz represents the most powerful force of all, the power of love, which is endlessly good. If you have been unwell or have had a lack of energy, then Uruz is here to remind you to connect to God(love) for energy. You are a part of it, and denying this truth will tap your energies. God is the truth, God is love and the more you align yourself with this the more powerful you will become, the stronger the force will run through your veins and the more God can trust you with the responsibility to help others, our planet included. You are powerful when you live your life truthfully. If you are off track and Uruz is showing up in a reading you will quickly be guided back on your path. Being off your path can be a very painful experience with little or no flow and joy. Uruz is a very powerful rune to meditate on if you need to find your way. Meditating on Kenaz with Uruz would be even more powerful, as Kenaz will light the way for you so you easily can see your path home (to live your truth).
The Spiritual Meaning of Uruz
Uruz is the second rune of the Elder Futhark, the oldest runic alphabet used by Germanic peoples. Uruz is associated with the primal force of nature and represents strength, vitality, and courage.
The spiritual meaning of Uruz is often interpreted as a symbol of the wild and untamed power of the natural world, and it can be used to channel this energy into our lives. It is often associated with the concept of life force or “prana” in many spiritual traditions.
Uruz can be seen as a symbol of the strength and resilience needed to overcome obstacles and challenges in life. It is a reminder that we have the power within us to face our fears and overcome difficulties, just as the wild animals of the forest rely on their strength and instinct to survive.
In some interpretations, Uruz is also seen as a symbol of fertility and the creative power of nature. It can be used to connect with the primal energy that underlies all life and to tap into our own creative potential.
Overall, Uruz is a powerful rune that can help us connect with the raw power of the natural world and unleash our own inner strength and vitality.
Who were the Aurochs
The aurochs, also known as the Eurasian wild ox, were a species of wild cattle that once roamed throughout Europe, Asia, and North Africa. They were one of the largest and most powerful land animals of their time, with males weighing up to 1,500 kg (3,300 lbs).
Aurochs were domesticated by humans around 8,000 years ago and were selectively bred to create the modern breeds of domestic cattle that we know today. However, the last wild aurochs died in Poland in 1627, making them extinct in the wild.
Aurochs played an important role in the mythology and folklore of many cultures, including the ancient Greeks and the Germanic peoples of northern Europe. In Norse mythology, the aurochs was associated with the god Thor, who was said to ride a chariot pulled by two of these massive animals.
Today, efforts are being made to reintroduce aurochs-like animals to the wild, through selective breeding and the reintroduction of genetic traits from ancient aurochs DNA. These animals are known as “rewilded cattle” and are intended to help restore ecosystems and create a more diverse and resilient landscape.
