The first thing that comes to mind here is teamwork. The ability to unite two very different elements for a common purpose.
It could be the merger of two businesses, or a mixing together of two seemingly different ideas. Whatever it is that you are being asked to unite, the result will be greater than the sum of its parts.
The name Ehwaz means horse, which means that the teamwork may be between the horse and rider, which makes this a good rune for anyone working with animals.
Another way of looking at this rune would be that of controlling your animal nature as the rider controls the horse. For the key here is to be the rider, the one in control, not the one being controlled.
Once you are able to subdue the wild parts of yourself with reason, you will be able to trust your instincts, as the rider trusts the horse. Before that time, the horse (instincts) will simply run away with you. Share on XFor this reason, Ehwaz also refers to the harmony between body and mind, intellect and instinct, head and feet. As well as caring for the body (horse), the vehicle of your soul (rider).
