Ehwaz is the nineteenth rune of the Elder Futhark and stands for the sound e. The Anglo-Saxon rune poem describes the horse as the pride of nobles and a comfort to the restless: with it, a rider can go anywhere.
What defines Ehwaz is the bond between horse and rider: two beings who trust each other and move as one. Its shape, like an M with straight legs, mirrors that partnership.

Ehwaz upright announces progress: a project moving forward, a positive change or a trip. It also speaks of collaboration, of finding the right person to move ahead with.
