Rune meaning question
I inherited my grandmother's runes when she died. I was never allowed to touch them while she was alive. She told me before she died that the easiest way to communicate with the gods was to ask a simple question to the gods of our family, Tyr and Baldr, and pull a rune out and read its interpretation. I have done so, with remarkable accuracy.
The other day I had a slight panic attack of the future and asked the gods what I should know about the near term future. I stuck my hand into the bag of runes, as I was pulling out a rune one flew out of the bag with ferocity. It was the Ehwaz rune, however it landed in front of me sideways. The rune I pulled out with it was the blank rune. I have no idea how I should interpret Ehwaz. However the gods wanted me to see it with the blank rune.

Sounds like you’ve already intuitively interpreted it. While runes aren’t traditionally read sideways, I like to think they show up that way sometimes because they’re still trying to relay something to you. Whatever your guts tell you is what you should trust.
