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 rune Othala is traditionally defined as a noble person, clover. The Rune of Heritage.The heritage you leave for those living after you must be left behind so you don’t have to carry this burden from life to life.
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.
Rune Mannaz. The symbolic meaning of the rune is “Man” as a personality, a wise and knowledgeable person.
The wisdom of a person is determined not by the number of years lived, nor by knowledge and education. Wisdom is the ability to feel and understand other people.
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.
Rune Berkana. Its traditional meaning is a birch twig. It symbolizes feminine strength — flexible yet always whole.
A birch twig can be bent, twisted in any way, but it is very difficult to break.
Tiwaz is the rune of the Warrior, the one who fights for their own justice, not someone else’s, for the right to have their own truth in life, rather than conforming to someone else’s due to a lack of their own.
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.
