Drawing Ehwaz in a game of Leela

In Leela Atlas you can draw a card from the Elder Futhark runes when you land on a square. A bridging question links the card to the square, so the card speaks to your own question:

• Who, or what, are you moving forward with in this question, and do you trust each other?
• What does "Ehwaz" show you about your square?
• If "Ehwaz" were advice for your question, what would it say?
• Where do you meet "Ehwaz" in your life right now?
