casting runes — 05mar25

dagaz
i seek you in umbra
slipping 'twixt & 'tween
between bone & meat
there, in the hollows
where twin shadows meet

A rune poem, based on an Elder Futhark rune selected at random.

Today’s rune is dagaz, which has been translated as “daybreak”, that transitional moment between night and day. By extension, it might also be interpreted as “twilight” and is representative of liminality, transformation, the space between worlds, and suggests walking in both the material world and otherworld.

Please visit my Elder Futhark pages at sceadugenga.com for additional interpretations of the runes based on multiple references and personal reflection.

          The rule is: If you don’t like the weather, wait for fifteen minutes.

          They send weather forecasters to this part of the country to sink or swim. If they want you to really test your skills, they send you to the Great Lakes.

          Always an adventure!
