The Runes: Uruz ᚢ [Remake]

[@limitedtime5471]

Always great to hear your thoughts

[@familiabranquinhobranquinh9503]

Here at home we say, Wednesday, Mr. Arith! it's like an awakening, watching is a pleasure!

[@333Eriana]

yes, here in my home odin's day has turned into Arith's Day !!

[@ArithHärger]

Invading people's homes at Wednesdays. Sort of like Santa Claus, but more often. So, with any luck, this also becomes a tradition and part of folklore, and in the future people will leave out vegan cookies for me every Wednesday :p

[@dangerouswitch1066]

Good to see

[@joeyscott4299]

Thank you Arith . I haven't been chiming in as often as I should to give thanks . Your videos are always an inspiration . Have a great day !!!

[@megandunn9457]

thanks for these remakes. I appreciate getting to go deeper with you.

[@cyberbeeny]

Thanks so much for continuing the runes remake.

[@nadiaverlan3704]

Thank you Arith! Right on time. I just draw rune of the day - Uruz. I was thinking of you , - wanted to learn about thus rune from you specifically. Thanks again !

[@toebeans1385]

Such a good reminder of self and individuality.

[@roseblossom3048]

Love how the kitty wanted to part of the video so bad lol 😻 I agree about not losing yourself for another... as I've have done a few times. However I also believe in helping each other grow positively. But when the other makes no attempt, and just starts to try to hide things more instead of getting better, then I have to say goodbye. Lying, cheating, and addictions, manipulating, mind games, emotional and psychological abuse, etc.

"Learning to hunt" can have a different meaning in modern times. We all still need to "learn to hunt," meaning, learning skills that allow us to express our individual strengths, and help us to survive and to thrive in our society. Mastering such skills gives us a sense of worth, strength and independence from those who may try to strong-arm us. That's how I see Uruz, anyway, in modern context.

[@davidoftheforest]

I'm a modern man, my dad taught me how to hunt. How to hunt animals, how to trap, fish, skin animals, track animals. You can, too

[@margaretwhitmer2715]

@@davidoftheforest I've learned to hunt in different ways, but my partner is an expert hunter, thus our freezer is full of venison and fish that we enjoy all year.

[@iankenney6602]

To be strong enough to never have to sacrifice ourselves in order to grow or feel loved. To be patient, cunning, and self-sufficient, but to love the feeling of cooperation..oh, and to fully embrace your own sense of timing that allows you to overcome your adversaries just came to me, as well as to know that you can destroy easily enough but to fully be able to understand all that you end when you destroy something and why that was your best option according to the current understanding of ones own life.. I hope you dont mind the supplement, here, but I felt inspired, as I have always been a very successful hunter and see it as such a gift to have in life in self empowerment. When I first started reading, I thought to myself, uh oh, someone has an idea of what something "should be" especially something I feel so strongly about. You captured the true nature of what I have found in my own life. Thank you for this beautiful little gift!

[@margaretwhitmer2715]

@@iankenney6602 Thank you. To be a master hunter takes great skill and experience. Arith Harger is a master hunter in archaeology. Learning a skill that benefits you and others both makes you a part and sets you apart. The "hunt" lies is tracking down the skills that suit your innate talents best. Not to bore you, but I once wrote an ode to Uruz: "Being 'wild and free' comes at a price. One must be strong, to face the winter winds. One's hair must be long, one's hide thick, to survive the cruel blizzards, the hardships, the homelessness. One must plant all four hooves and bellow 'I am free and free I will stay.' Humankind's cattle have warm barns and all the hay they can eat; when their keepers grow hungry, they are the first to be sacrificed. But I - I am the one who licks the ice from the face of the world and brings it to life. And I am the first to taste the sweet grass of spring."

[@iankenney6602]

@@margaretwhitmer2715 thank you, I love that! What a friendly community I have discovered here! I can act as an unstoppable force without realizing it. I want to learn to plan better like in my college writing days, but with these videos, I guess its like automatic writing. And I have to take whatever the unconcious or whatever is throwing at the world through me and support those parts of myself. Just growing pains of a much purer perspective I had run from for too long. I cannot wait to be done with this awkward reflecting period and begin to create beautiful tributes to nature and works of imaginatiob.. taking from all those dark experiences from before I actually found its all an illusion. nothing is as dark or evil as people would have you believe. What a time to be a life. Can you imagine being the first generation of writers of new mythology that could someday help people as they prepare for the unknowable changing of the cycle?! I cant wait to learn more and more. Arith, man, I have got to sit down with him face to face sometime. I feel like he is an old friend, right?

[@teresafigueiredo]

Fabulous! Congratulations thank you 🌷

[@rainbowsoulmagic6821]

I like your perspective. Makes much sense. Personally I have a history with this rune. If only I new then what I know now 😁 Thank you for sharing Love your cat 🥰

[@skeletalbassman1028]

We all have masculine and feminine in us, we simply express in different levels and different ways. To recognize the existence of masculine and feminine energies is not backwards or unintelligent. It’s based in observations of the natural world and introspection on how our own traits and predilections overlap and match with these observations.

[@lezleythurman1365]

You said a mouthful there Arith - a strong soliloquy on the essential characteristics of maintaining one's own uniqueness - you bring the flavor! Nice job, your wordsmithing is a hoot and a holler!! Uruz indeed."the passion of our freedom"!

[@alicecarmin6646]

Je suis ravie ! Merci pour ces bonnes informations. Votre chaîne est une école.

[@davidoftheforest]

one of my favorite runes

[@iankenney6602]

Sacrificing ourselves in order to fit in..thank you for clarifying true character building. A lesson I learned later than I would have preferred..and I feel I still sometimes cannot fully overcome the presence of this illusion on this planet. Bless you for this 😇

[@sophia.ursula]

What you’re saying about relationships and our personal character projections (hammingja concept) is on key 👌

[@ArithHärger]

Thank you :D I'm happy it ressounded with you. Best wishes!

Recently dug up my old rune stones, feeling conflicted about divination. I'm getting such useful insight from this video series. Thank you so much, keep up the good work!

Greetings from the Texas Gulf Coast, USA. Thank you for the upscaled information on Uruz. Hello to your cat, too. Which is she?

This time it was Gigi :p at some point I had to cut and then continue to record because she was trying to eat the cable from the microphone lol. Hope all is well with you and yours. Stay safe friend!

I draw uruz yesterday . The day I was to compete in sparring of all days. The elder futhark are magic.

[@ExcaliburOfYuletide]

A couple of years ago, I found your channel. I went all the way back to the beginning and watched every single one, EXCEPT FOR RUNES. If it looked like it was a video talking about a Rune or runology, I skipped it, because I wanted to spend the time SOMEDAY focusing on the Runes, ONLY. Are all of those videos in "The Runes" playlist for me to watch? Including academic and non-acedemic? Thank you!! I don't want to miss anything. lolol

[@333Eriana]

at 9 ;32 - who you talking to Dad??sweet This was really wonderful Arith - thankyou so much. Such wonderful insight on human condition; and some stuff that i enjoyed hearing right now. We can also 'give ourselves up' to family too much as well. Because that is some of my story - my other relationships have been better, becuase i learned from that other pain of being taken for granted etc. And not doing what i really wanted to- so a loss of myself at those times.

[@ArithHärger]

This time it was Gigi's turn to be curious lol. Relationships matter, but we mustn't forget of ourselves too. Some relationships we feel bond to, with a certain sense of loyalty even if such relationships are toxic, but we have been born into them and it feels like it would be wrong to try to end such relationships. But it isn't wrong to try to be happy and try to have a better life and self-care. If someone keeps abusing us, they are the ones at fault. Family is who we choose, just the same way we don't have to be who we were born into or what has happened to us. We are who we choose to be. I'm really happy to know you have enjoyed this one too. Wish you all the best dear friend :D

[@333Eriana]

@@ArithHärger cheers to you my friend you knew exactly what i was getting at - i had to divorce my family a couple of decades ago or i probably would have died. Seriously - i had pneumonia exhaustion all the time. Certain months bring memory anniversaries -and instead of bothering me, i now celebrate that i am more alive.

[@K_E_Robin]

I reflected on Uruz this morning, that also could be called Ura (Rain). So for me personally, the Rune has dual meaning and it has very dynamic association with both bovine(wild or domisticated doesn't matter) and rain that fertilizies the soil. For me I feel very much Audhumbla in Uruz/Ura. Her milk rains down for Ymir to sustain himself. There is discussion that Uruz is the first rune in the Elder Futhark, which makes it Utharkf. If this is true or not is of no real importance in this regard but felt it as an inspiring perspective. All of these runic ponderings about Uruz/Ura inspired me a lot when it comes to some personal projects of mine. One that is a music project and the other a tabletop role-playing game.

Great talk, Arith. Thank you.

[@fernandocharchar3300]

First of all, I want to thank you for the great amount of information you provide in your channel. But my question is: do I need to have nordic blood to work with the runes ?

[@johnryan1292]

No you dont and whoever says otherwise is talking out their arse

[@fernandocharchar3300]

@@johnryan1292 Thanks ! I have been studying about the runes for a while but people say they only work with nordic people.

[@Snotradiener]

If you are attracted to them or to a certain belief, why should it matter to have a certain decent. When it feels right, why should it be considered wrong. As someone from the northern part of europe, I am also interested in beliefs and cultures of other parts of the world, be that native american, people who belive in Ra or Hindu deities.

[@fernandocharchar3300]

@@Snotradiener I guess it makes total sense.

[@ArithHärger]

Like others have already (and rightly) pointed out here in the comments, when we feel a connection to something, when we appreciate it and want to learn and be part of it, there are no boundaries.

[@17popsquare60]

My favorite runes in relation to horned entities and their protection

[@blackthornsloe8049]

In a book by Freya Aswan I read an interpretation of this rune as focusing on the auroch as a fierce , protective , untamed wild mother . I loved this ... the ferocity and strength associated with preserving life and also the milk of the untamed cow touches upon abundance. Nothing is as fearless and determined as a mother ( of any species) protecting her young .

[@ninam8430]

I love it!!!! I connected this rune with the learning path of the Aries sign in astrology. The need to feel strong, independent and a leader, and to be approved despite of hiding their vulnerability with aggressiveness and impulsiveness... Until they finally understand that they don`t need to hunt aurochs to ensure their position in society and their freedom. hahaha 💕thanks for all the teaching and insights!

[@Sheepdog1314]

excellent - as always

[@elaine5758]

I am starting to study runes now, I actually opened your video and it all seemed like a great "coincidence" because I am in a situation that I needed a friendly word and advice, thank you, you were the oracle itself... By the way, what a beautiful kitty, what is its name?

[@danielag.ishikawa]

Sobre esses estereótipos de gênero, se formos pensar dessa maneira seria a Laguz uma runa 'mais feminina' ou não há esse uso de Laguz? (Desculpe se estou perguntando de outra runa) E btw adoro esses remakes do primeiro Aett! Grata!

[@ArithHärger]

Olá! Quando aplicamos um estudo esotérico às runas estamos também, inevitavelmente, a expressar a racionalidade humana. Como tudo na vida, o pensamento humano evolve, por isso também os aspectos esotéricos das runas evoluem connosco. Estereótipos de gênero são construções fictícias e ilusórias de apenas algumas sociedades, bastante recente na história da humanidade. Estes estereótipos deixaram de fazer sentido nas sociedades em que vivemos. Não há qualquer motivo em agarrarmo-nos a conceitos que já não servem para nada e previnem a humanidade de seguir em frente. Não nego que tanto o feminino como o masculino devem ser celebrados, mas a psique humana não é assim tão simples e muitas pessoas não se identificam como masculino ou feminino. O problema é mesmo quando criamos definições daquilo que tem de constituir feminino e/ou masculino, o que depois limita o pensamento humano e não deixa as pessoas serem aquilo que querem ser. Uma runa não pertence somente a um estereótipo de gênero. As runas reflectem o nosso pensamento e o nosso pensamento é demasiado fluido, complexo e multidimensional para nos prender-mos a esses estereótipos, porque nós somos todos uma multiplicidade de identidades que está sempre a mudar e a evoluir.

[@danielag.ishikawa]

@@ArithHärger sim! Concordo totalmente e muitas pessoas que trabalham com tarot ao falar de uma carta muito 'masculina' enfatizam que não é relacionado ao gênero... é estranho pensar nas runas dessa maneira, confesso, e toda vez que pensava na Uruz me vinha à mente isso da força masculina mas hoje aprendi um pouco mais e vou lembrar dela como independência e força para encarar desafios, o que muitas mulheres, cis ou trans, possuem! (sem esquecer, obviamente, de quem não se identifica com gênero algum)

[@viktorias.4643]

Another great explanation!

[@baileygemma]

The intelligence to move forward part 🤣

[@dennislogan6781]

I believe that there is no true religion due to the fact no one has crossed over for more than a few moments and come back from the dead to talk about the afterlife. People are people and we will make of life what we can. Interesting thoughts you had in this video. People will always have to work together no matter what we want, and we should leave the world in a better way than what we found it. That's what we are remembered for after we die.

In the Finnish language "Uros" means a male animal, and in Finnish slang it means a man who is regarded by women as a "stud".

Tarot had Roma and Jewish roots and was culturally appropriated from the Romani and Jewish people by the French court and so on.

[@CatalinaSabella]

Your curious cat wants to know who you are talking you, lol...

[@colinp2238]

Maybe the early hunters wore the horns/antlers of their prey as a display of virility? Either in the same way as they are used by the animal or as a badge. Shame on you Sr Arith stealing lyrics from Bob Marley, hunting for survival (Buffalo Soldier). Stay safe.

[@womanofwyrd1491]

I found this interesting knowing you are vegan, but that does not make you incorrect in your statements about hunting for sustenance. I find that when I work with Uruz, I feel a strength associated with it. It is almost tangible.

[@redwolf7929]

I'm not sure about some of your notes on this rune. I always thought it was about wealth of the earth ,a common wealth ,such as fertile soil ,or "wild bush meat " resources. A wealth that is not owned by one person.I understand you are vegan.Do you feel this is colouring your I interpretation of this rune? - please note this is meant to be a respectfulquestion .- thanks for your work.
