From the Animal Totem Tarot, Strength; from the Blum/Gern Rune Cards, Ingwaz/Inguz:
The ox in this card pulls a heavy load down a rocky path but doesn't seem to be snorting and stamping his feet about it. He just continues to take steps forward, knowing that the road won't last forever. Inner strength requires the same mentality: understanding that things change and that being angry or full of pity only adds to our load and suffering. The rune Inguz/Ingwaz means 'seed' and suggests being separated (planted) in order for transformation to take place. It can feel lonely and overwhelming when we think no one cares or that we have too much placed on our shoulders. But if we were to shine some light on our thoughts, how much is reality and how much is dramatic exaggeration? Both the pleasant and unpleasant in life is our spiritual path; we can choose to let it help us grow or keep us stuck in a rut.
