This rune in particular has connection to the wise god, Odin, the god of wisdom and poetry and even the runes itself. It represents the power of the human words. Words is a very strong and powerful thing. You're probably familiar with the term, pen is mightier than the sword.

If faced upright, it could symbolize creativity, transparancy, and the ability of using words and the mouth. It also symbolizes wisdom, and divinity, and the overall power of language like what was mentioned in the previous paragraph. Since wisdom is a common theme, perhaps it is telling you to experience many things in life to become wiser. For creativity, that alone can have the power to learn from your experience from the creative field and overall gain skills from that at the very least. Transparency is also important for wisdom, if you admit your mistakes or confess what you have done to some people, you can learn by the consequences inflicted upon you and gain wisdom that way. Wisdom is a very effective tool as it has you create better decisions in life and give the best advice to those younger than you. As if you provide them with wisdom, they learn faster that way when they fall into the same path as they now know what you were talking about all those years ago.

If facing downward, perhaps you have a block in your creative mind. Maybe you wish to keep somethings a secret. Though, since wisdom is a big message, perhaps you are misinterpreting this lesson you have gained and are using the wrong advice from that. Using your previous experience and getting the wrong lessons out of it could result into some very unwise decision. Maybe you avoid the consequences or avoid any conflicts, resulting in the loss that wisdom could bring you. This site is about wisdom, maybe you look at it and wonder why this site exists or if it's just some crazy promotional tool. Maybe you don't talk to yourself that much, you don't reflect much. Maybe the truth gets obscured by you or others. Whatever it means, if it's present or future, take it as a warning. Otherwise, take this and learn from it.
