Kenaz is a rune that symbolizes inspiration, vitality, improvement, and opening. It represents the banishment of darkness and the illumination of creativity and energy. Pulling this rune is a sign that you are in balance and harmony with the universe. You have been making positive progress with something that has been holding you back in the past. The guidance of this rune can sometimes feel very intense, but keep your mind open to new possibilities that will help you progress even further. If you pull a reversed Kenaz during a rune reading, it could be a sign that your intuition and harmony with the universe are muddied and dark. It may also signify the ending of a friendship, job prospect, or even personal intentions. Now is the time to work on your physical and spiritual foundations before you make any life-changing decisions.
