Nauthiz - Rune of Needful Knowledge

Nauthiz, or the N Rune is traditionally all about needing something and how to fulfil that need.   In life we must work to fulfil our needs and those of our loved ones.  We might need a job, need to put food on the table, need to pay the bills, and so on.  We all have our share of needs.  

I've read many Rune authors discussing an ancient tradition called a need fire or a force fire.   This was the practice of creating a sacrificial forest fire (or other type of fire), to meet the desperate needs of the community.  They believed there would be help for an outbreak of illness, starvation, or impending war if the burned down the woods.  (google it:  Need fire).

The N Rune has the 'nnnn' sound as in the word 'need'.  Lets look at other words in the English language that begin with N to find the inherent energy in this Rune.

namesake, news, newcomer, napkin, nadir, name, network, neurotic, nipple, nickname, niece, night, nightmare, nickle, not, nobleman, nympho, nut, nose, nostril, nomad, nursery, nutrition, nephew, number, nurture, nudity, know, knead, knowledge.  (google more English nouns that begin with the N Runic sound).

Some needs are great and some are small and need always comes with a the challenge of finding a solution.   What are we going to do ?  Where are we going to find what we need ?  Who is going to help us ?

Look around you.  How can you find the energy of Nauthiz in all objects that start with the N Rune sound ?
