Dagaz completes the runic row, making its symbolic meaning clearer — breakthrough. This rune signifies completion, initiation, and, in a way, enlightenment. Dagaz ends the transformation of consciousness and changes the existing state of affairs in accordance with the transformation of the inner world that has been accomplished through all the preceding runes.
The symbolic definition of the rune is Fertility. This rune teaches us to see the result in everything that has been done so far. Even if the inception of a new beginning, a new idea, or a completed action happened quite a while ago, you will still eventually, in one way or another, receive a result.
The traditional meaning of the rune Laguz is water, as a stream, as a carrying force. The rune Laguz encompasses intuitive knowledge, sharpens hypersensitivity, and teaches us to track the currents of forces correctly, to be in the flow, to catch the moment, and to use the world’s power for our own benefit.
The rune Ehwaz symbolizes freedom in all aspects and grants you the right to move in any direction and achieve results everywhere. Like Sleipnir with eight legs, like the wind blowing from eight directions, like the rose of the winds — balanced, accessible, open — so too does the rune Ehwaz allow you to understand and realize your divine nature within yourself.
The runes of the 3rd Aett are about the ability to achieve tangible life results, revealing capabilities (or showing limitations) for achieving outcomes in specific ways. This ultimately determines not only a warrior’s social effectiveness but also their future “color” in magic—whether light or dark.
