Mannaz ("Man-az") represents all of the humanity, joined together, united in a force that works towards a common goal. This rune may also represent your family, your social circle and friends and the common goals that unite us. All goals and purposes shared between all of us is what in the end brings us closer and unites us to a greater, stronger force.

Mannaz is a reminder that we are all one. In addition, can also be seen as a representation of two souls in one, the overall concept of soulmates.

Mannaz is the rune of collective potential, divine structure and intelligence in the human soul. Each of us can be affected by the energies and actions of those around us, but at the same time, one person is powerful enough to affect the whole mankind. This rune signifies all the people we are connected to and every one we have touched in our lives.

Its shape may indicate two people offering their arms in an embracement. The two vertical lines indicate the two people and the oblique lines the exchange of goods, information, emotions and energies.

A period of plenty of activity and communication, with you being the center of the attention.

Mannaz foretells relationships that have been established, that you will use to advance your own business.

Mannaz represents a mature relationship and a balanced partnership, with great communication and support from both sides.

Harmony and balance of your inner and outer self, health, immunity and vitality.

Mannaz is a reminder to be kinder, harm none (including yourself) to support and love those around you as well as yourself.

Mannaz signifies the exchange between actions and people. Every time we offer something, one way or the other it will come back to us and the other way around.

This rune intensifies your relationships with those in your circle and people in general. Mannaz is a reminder to step back and consider the larger group.

The help in your spiritual journey will come, but don’t wait to claim your destiny. You must harmonize your mind, body and soul. Accept and learn your lessons.

Frustration, dissatisfaction, selfishness, impoliteness, distant relationships, lack of sensibility

Mannaz in reversed position is hinting you that you may act in a selfish way. You need to reassess and start looking your actions through other’s perspective.

Distant relationships and situations where each person is caring after themselves and living lives on their own. Each side thinks they are right and can justify their actions by their own standards of justice (even ones that are distinctly wrong).

This rune reminds you to claim the faith you have in yourself but also claim responsibility for your actions. You must make peace with yourself before turning outwards to focus on your family, friends and community. With meditation and constructive self-reflection you are able to heal yourself.

Mannaz in this position may also signify a person of the opposite sex to yourself (wife, husband, partner, father, mother, etc.)
