Mannaz is a rune of individuality, friendship, cooperation, help, humanity, and self-awareness. It represents everything that makes a person. The mind, the ability to reason, traditions, and customs. This rune is a reminder that although everyone on this planet is different, there is also something that connects us all. Mannaz also encourages us to accept all things, whether they are good or bad. It is an encouragement to live life as unordinary as possible. A reversed Mannaz is usually a sign that you have isolated yourself too far from others or that you don’t feel as though you fit into society. These feelings of disconnection are breeding feelings of depression and low energy. You need to take the time to recharge your innersole in whatever way feels positive to you.
