UR

The image that accompanies this rune is the now extinct, giant auroch. In ancient times a young warrior, armed only with a spear, had to prove his manhood by hunting down this wild bison renowned for its strength and fierceness.

So Ur represents the querent's power and ability to deal with life's problems.

In mythology the bull is a masculine image and represents the Horned God or the creative life force. It could also be a sacrificial victim and elements of this role survive in Spanish bull-fighting. In this context Ur refers to an ordeal that may involve self-sacrifice but which leads to an advancement in life, possibly connected with the querent's career.

The Ur rune represents a powerful energy that can help us to overcome problems and progress materially or spiritually. In order to do this, the person may have to adopt an aggressive attitude and sweep all before him.
