Main characteristics of Dagaz

The appearance of the Dagaz rune is similar to the infinity symbol. Experts can give several meanings to this sign using sensory mental images. According to the description, the Dagaz rune has a strong energetic meaning:

• the rebirth of the Phoenix from the ashes;
• the beginning of a new day;
• updating the scenery during the performance;
• transformation;
• sprouted grass on cleared ground.

The meaning of Dagaz as a symbol is most associated with the sincerity and genuine desires of the fortuneteller. Through them, the needs of the soul and real aspirations are revealed.

Experts give a special description and meaning to the symbol of the Dagaz rune: If you don’t allow yourself to desire something, you don’t have inner freedom.

Dreams and desires do not come true on their own; efforts must be made to realize them. That is why Runa Dagaz is connected with the will of a person and his actions. Without freedom and fortitude, you cannot get what you want, says the rune. Moreover, will here means a certain push, an impulse that pushes a person to action.

Coming up with an action plan on the path to a dream, generating ideas and starting progress, taking the right path - the interpretation of the rune indicates such actions.

Desires attract opportunities, but whether a person takes advantage of them or not depends on him. The Dagaz rune is activated when visualizing dreams and helps to use all opportunities for their fulfillment. The symbol carries only positive energy. It means improvement not only in the material side, but also in other aspects of life.

Combinations with other symbols

In some interpretations, Dagaz is an undertaking, a turning point that changes life circumstances. In any case, the rune has a strong meaning, and with other symbols it can describe love, relationships, career growth and much more. The sign is also interpreted as a positive change in life, which will not be the same. Changes can even affect a person’s spirituality.

When the rune appears in a layout with a dominant, unfavorable symbol, the sign will not acquire a negative meaning. In such cases, Dagaz softens the effect of the negative rune:

• with inverted Vunyo - Dagaz says not to get hung up on problems;
• with Inguz, the Dagaz rune is interpreted as a symbol of good health or movement towards fundamental changes;
• together with Raido means the opportunity to spend interesting leisure time;
• with Soulu and Vunyo, Dagaz means true happiness, joy is to be expected;
• with the rune Isa Dagaz speaks of a short period of calm and stagnation, so you will have to put more effort into making your dream come true;
• with Kenaz a person gets the opportunity to realize himself in creative activity.

In a scenario with negative runes, Dagaz distributes unfavorable meaning, making it balanced and light. The symbol represents time and space, connected by strength and well-being.

If the fortuneteller is sick, she will contribute to a quick healing, but the person must be ready to meet him halfway.

In a negative environment, the symbol communicates about self-indulgence, the dark side, the weak will of the fortuneteller - such people often complain about fate, loved ones, about health, but at the same time do not make any efforts to somehow change their lives.

The symbol of the Elder Futhark when divining health will indicate to the patient the correct diagnosis and the possibility of treatment. This layout will direct a person on the right path, and those addicted to bad habits will no longer feel the need to continue killing themselves. The runic sign will indicate possible trips to medical institutions to improve health.

Algiz

The Algiz rune is the fifteenth sign among 24 Germanic and 16 Scandinavian ones.
Its name comes from the word “elk”. This is a symbol of powerful protection. It seems to connect the world of people and the world of gods with a bridge, along which the great power to destroy evil comes to the human race. The power of this force is so great that in ancient times warriors often carved this particular rune on their weapons. The shape of Algiz is similar to an open palm with fingers spread, and to a person who has outstretched his arms to the sky, and to the footprint of a bird. There is an inverted image of the sign, which gives an idea of ​​the roots of the so-called tree of life - the gigantic ash tree. In the form of it, the ancient Scandinavian inhabitants represented the structure of the world. Since its roots are in the world of the dead, in this case the inverted rune on many ancient tombstones depicted the date of death. Also, this image:

• protects from troubles;
• warns of approaching adversity;
• symbolizes friendship with people who can improve life;
• helps you make the right decision, relying only on intuition.

One of the most common life themes in fortune telling is love. If Algiz lands in a straight position, that’s good. Those who do not have a soulmate will find one very soon, and if everything is in order with this, positive emotions and joy await the couple. This could be the birth of a baby, or simply a happy family holiday spent together.

The dropped symbol means a warm and real relationship that is only possible between a man and a woman. There is mutual support; people in this union are not only good lovers, sexually suitable, but also true friends both psychologically and in everyday life. In love and relationships, this rune is a sign of trust and loyalty to your partner. If it appears during fortune telling, it often means reconciliation of quarrels, a successful conclusion, harmony.

If the Inguz rune falls next to Algiz, this means a wedding, and if the Invaz symbol falls, the fortuneteller will defeat an opponent or rival.

An inverted image of Algiz rarely means the disappearance of feelings or serious problems. More often we are talking about quarrels and misunderstandings. You need to listen to your loved one, draw the necessary conclusions, and everything will work out.

When fortune telling about a person seeking the favor of a person, an inverted rune indicates that you should not get close to him. Sooner or later, the bad intentions or quarrelsome nature of the applicant will still be revealed. He may have selfish interests, his own expectations from relationships, which are not very pleasant.

When combined with the Uruz rune, which appears next to the inverted Algiz during fortune telling, we can talk about the problem of the partner imposing his views on the questioner. And if you get Ansuz, you shouldn’t listen too much to your partner’s advice.

Using runes in magic

In magic, the Dagaz rune has a special strong magical meaning. She transforms real events, attracting forces to get what she wants. The sign influences the environment, simulating events in reality to achieve goals. But rituals with it are performed only by specialists who have been practicing magic for several years. After all, all rituals have a price.

Only a strong person with great power of freedom and faith in the power of the signs can subjugate the power of runic signs.

The infinity drawing does not like people who are confined to their comfort zone and go with the flow. This requires active action and strong character. There are beliefs that the symbol of the Elder Futhark dissolved magicians in the air, making them invisible. In magic, the sign is used for several purposes:

• attracting change, helps a person make a breakthrough and turn the situation in his direction;
• brings a speedy recovery;
• leads you on the right path to success;
• liberation from the unnecessary, changes affect both things and people;
• opening a new business with a forecast for success;

Amulet with the Dagaz rune.
Dagaz is one of the most popular symbols used in making amulets. First of all, such artifacts are charged to fulfill desires. It is also used in rune spells as a catalyst - if a person is determined to take active action towards his dream and work on himself, this symbol with its energy pulls the remaining runes towards the speedy realization of the intention embedded in them.

There are two types of amulets:

• Wall-mounted - a rune is drawn in blue on white paper. A sheet of paper is hung in a visible place so that the energy of people passing by feeds it and brings it closer to the fulfillment of the plan;
• Personal - most often a single rune is also used. The Golden Fleece attracts travel and new acquaintances to its owner. Drawn in red paint on a wooden or stone block, the rune attracts new love into the life of the wearer.

When creating a temporary or permanent amulet using runes, remember how to draw Dagaz correctly: all horizontal lines are drawn from left to right, and vertical lines are drawn from bottom to top. In a runescript, only strict and straight lines are needed. By the way, some magicians draw signs on the body with a ballpoint pen or permanent marker.

Rune advice

Dagaz in a relationship speaks of action and thinking about life. If a person already has a soulmate, then it is worth looking at her from a different angle and giving her attention. If your loved one has not yet found you, then you should not sit at home.

The advice of the Dagaz rune is that you cannot sit idly by. We need to act as soon as possible, because adventures and clear success lie ahead. And if a person is faced with a difficult choice, he should just believe in himself and decide to start acting.

Choice is only the beginning of the path; life itself is revealed only to those who walk.
