Ing, or Yngvi (an "other name of Freyr") is a god of fertility and conquering. Ironically, in the Norse tradition it was often the women who conducted rites involving sexuality. Ing is related to the old Nerthus-cult which dealt with the mystery of fecundity and birth. This rune was often found on houses and barns for protection and fertility of home, animals, fields and other buildings.
