The Motion of the Naud Rune
The motion of Naud is a strong downward push. In effect, it is pure strength that forces down. There is an arcane lesson here. Urus, which is above Naud in the Elder Futhark order, is pure strength. Naud is strength headed down and inward. Bjork is the other Rune in that column. Bjork is strength growing up and out.
Naud’s secondary motion is inward as it forces downward. This is constriction. Indeed, a good symbol of the inward pressure would be a python. anaconda, boa or other constrictor snake. Words with the root term “press” give an idea of Naud’s motion: pressure, compress, depress, etc. It is amusing that a Latin root word is so very indicative of a German / Nordic Rune.
If Naud could speak, it would say, “I press down.”
