Mannaz is the rune of assistance and teamwork. You can expect to receive some sort of aid or cooperation now. Possibly in the form of good advice. (Especially if paired with Ansuz.) Surrounded by positive runes, Mannaz indicates that now is a very good time to implement any plans. It speaks of constructive activity with the assistance of many people. Mannaz in your reading hints to be on the lookout for a new acquaintance, one that will enlarge your outlook and contacts. If the surrounding runes are negative, you may have blown a problem way out of proportion and are on the verge of giving up. In that case you may be too caught up in a problem to solve it, and should seek advice from someone. It is important for you to have a positive attitude now. If it needs adjusting, do it. If there are delay runes (Nauthiz, Isa, Othala and Ansuz reversed), the time is not right for projects. Take special care to remain modest. This rune may indicate magickal ability especially if paired with Perthro or Laguz. Although Laguz in a spread with Mannaz may also mean trouble with women, as always, look to the placement in the spread and the surrounding runes.
