Dagaz (ᛞ)

Day: a breakthrough to light.

Literal meaning: day · Tyr's aett, the third group of eight

In the old rune poems

The Old English poem calls day the Lord's messenger, dear to all, bringing hope and joy to rich and poor alike.

Light side

Awakening: a shift in perspective where what seemed opposite comes together and the situation appears in new light.

Shadow side

Waiting for a breakthrough to come from outside, or missing the dawn because you are still looking at the night.

Drawing Dagaz 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:

• If a new day dawned on your question, what would you see differently?
• What does "Dagaz" show you about your square?
• If "Dagaz" were advice for your question, what would it say?
• Where do you meet "Dagaz" in your life right now?
