Used with other runes, dagaz synthesizes their might into a single transcendent awareness. It is<br />

generally most desirable when you are dealing with runes of inspiration and wisdom.<br />

Dagaz is a rune of triumph and new beginnings on a higher level; it can be written to bring these<br />

about.<br />

The stone associated with dagaz is fluorite, which is said to balance the mights of light and<br />

darkness within the mind. You will notice that, when viewed from above any point, octahedral crystals of<br />

fluorite show two interlocking dagaz-shapes.<br />

Dagaz: Meditation<br />

You sit on top of a mountain. It is night, faint stars bright in the black sky above you. You are clad in a<br />

heavy robe of black which weighs down your limbs. Your thoughts and movements sluggish, slowed by<br />

the dull cold of night.<br />

Slowly, almost imperceptibly at first, the eastern sky before you begins to gray. You can see the<br />

black shadow-shapes of mountains around you, faint against the first paling of morning as the eastern<br />

stars grow dimmer.<br />

The day strengthens, rimming the black peaks with paling blue, faint light pushing against the<br />

heavy blanket of night. The leys below are still sunk in dark, black firs, lost in an ocean of. blackness, but<br />

the lightening east begins to show the mountaintop around you-jagged gray boulders stud the dry earth,<br />

and sparse grasses sprout like the coarse pelt of a wolf<br />

The sky above you is dark blue, fading to the paleness of morning in the east, where the first<br />

yellowness begins to tint the coloured sky with light. Behind you the west is still black, the morning star<br />

shining through the brightening heavens.<br />

The east grows brighter and brighter - showing the jagged edges of the black pines below you. An ocean<br />

of light flows slowly into the dark night-blue above, gold and pink rising with the sky- blue of day.<br />

As the first burning edge of the sun rises behind the gray mountaintops around you, you leap to<br />

your feet; the dark metal that had weighted you falling away. Your head is filled with a dizzying rush of<br />

lightness. You take up your horn of mead and drink off the golden liquid, honey and fire flowing<br />

exultingly down your throat. You seem to be floating in midair, suspended between the day before you<br />

and the night behind you in the moment of their greatest flow and power. Joyously you toss the horn<br />

away a- cross your arms over your chest in the shape of the rune dagaz, feeling day and night meet within<br />

you. Ecstatically you cry out<br />

“Hail, day! Hail, ye day’s sons!<br />

Hail, night and the daughters of night!<br />

Look down upon me here with friendly eyes<br />

And grant victory to the one here.<br />

Hail the Aesir! Hail the Asynjur!<br />

Hail, him on the giving earth!<br />

Goodly speech and human wit<br />

may you grant to me, the mighty,<br />

and hands of healing1 while I live.<br />

Hail!”2<br />

Slowly you return to your own body, knowing that the transcendent power and wisdom of dagaz<br />

will always be within you.<br />
