Ingwaz is linked to Ing, or Freyr, a god of fertility and peace. It's the seed resting underground: potential, patience, inner growth, and a phase that's finishing so something new can sprout.

Reversed (merkstave): This rune looks the same either way up, so it has no reversed meaning.

What is growing in me that isn't ready to be seen yet?

Rune reading is a reflective practice rooted in Norse and Germanic tradition. It doesn't predict a fixed future. You're always the one who decides.
