casting runes — 06jan25

dagaz
quiet on the borderlands
just wind singing fences
pushing puddles melted snow
waiting wolves ache to break free

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.

    Interesting ‘selection’ here. Transition for the benefit of all, I hope.

      One can never be certain, but that is my sense.

      Thanks, Bob. I probably should have cut out a few more LOL.

        Haha. I think the word count was perfect.
