Hagalaz
hail · Rune 9 of 24 in the Elder Futhark
Meaning
A force that cannot be called off: a breakdown, a failure, somebody else’s decision. Not a punishment and not a sign — it simply happened, and now it has to be sorted.
What to do
Do not mend it on the move. Clear the wreckage and see what survived — only then decide.
This rune looks the same either way up, so it has no reversed position.
Hagal’s ætt
The second eight: what puts you to the test — cold, need, waiting
