Intra-Pandemic-Complicated Mannaz

    Black text on a cloudy gray drum head reading "Mannaz in intra-pandemic life is a lot more complicated than in previous cycles. It is the rune of humaning, which may be most clearly embodied in the context of relationships, in that we are exalted as well as deeply challenged by them." with a tiny inset image of Mannaz painted in brown on a white a porcelain oval tile, and the book cover of Runic Book of Days.

    Intra-Pandemic-Complicated Mannaz

    This is not our grandma’s Mannaz, but it is probably our great-great-great… grandma x11’s Mannaz.  Intra-pandemic life is a lot more complicated than in previous cycles, though we do have a lexicon for it. It is the rune of humaning, which may be most clearly embodied in the context of relationships, in that we are exalted as well as deeply challenged by them. And our histories know a great deal about relationships.
