Dagaz

day · Rune 23 of 24 in the Elder Futhark

Meaning

Daybreak: the turn toward light, a clear “afterwards”. Having stepped across, one does not come back.

Begin the new thing today, if only for ten minutes: a turn is fixed by doing, not by deciding.

This rune looks the same either way up, so it has no reversed position.

The third eight: order, people, inheritance

Readings are for entertainment. Runes describe where things stand, not events to come.
