Mannaz

If you look up the rune Mannaz, the descriptions mainly reference its association with "man." When it presented itself to me, it was in the context of "bridge."

From the Wildspeak description of Mannaz:

Mannaz is the personal rune of the god Heimdall, who was also known as Hvitass, Rig and Mannus (hence name of rune). Heimdall was the god who had three children that in turn were the original ancestors of the three different branches of the Germanic people. It is Heimdall who stands between the deities and the humans as the bridge between them. Heimdall is the representation of the 'truth' of the divine in man. Heimdall is the god of bridges, making them, walking them, and understanding their necessity. As such Mannaz itself is a god of connecting two opposing points, and then walking that bridge in balance and harmony, to better understand the deeper nature of ourselves and others.

This is a rune of human development, the deep human development that often leads to great wisdom, access to powers and the inner divine. It is understanding who, what, why, when and how you are, through building bridges within and without the physical body. It is the balancing of intuition with the intellect, the understanding that all wisdom needs to be tempered with joy, humour and respect. The inner understanding of the relationship between divine and man, and how we bridge the gap between is revealed to us in depth when working with Mannaz.

During yesterday's sit, as I was breathing in Fuck You's and breathing out sweet caresses, I was awash in the duality of my nature and struck how this rune captured that. And how, while I don't want to be a bitch/blue, I don't have to be an angel/red. I can be somewhere in the middle, purple.
