What does the Ehwaz rune mean?
Ehwaz (ᛖ, pronounced "eh-wahz") is the rune of horse, partnership, letter E of the Elder Futhark and part of Tyr's Aett. Its keywords are partnership, trust, loyalty, movement. Ehwaz means "horse" — and specifically the sacred bond between rider and steed, two beings moving as one in perfect trust. Its shape mirrors two runes leaning together in partnership. Ehwaz is the rune of loyal union, teamwork, and harmonious progress made possible by trust: the horse carries the rider only because rider and horse move together. It governs steady advancement, faithful companionship, and the transitions we ride toward. It counsels you to cultivate trust, honour your partnerships, and move forward in loyal step with those beside you.
