Rune Shamanism
I had to think more on the destructive qualities of Hagalaz. I immediately thought of a Phoenix. The Phoenix dies in a blaze of fire and then is reborn in the ashes. The destructive forces of Hagalaz leads to the old being weeded out and the “soil” fertilized by the ashes and made ready for […]
As I thought about Hagalaz today, I realized that the crisis from yesterday was necessary. It enabled us to cleanse out that which had been bothering both of us. Thus it allowed us to make a new start after purging all the garbage that had been accumulating. It brought to mind a picture of water […]
Today is a time of testing Hagalaz. Here at home, we are having what could be a catastrophic crisis for our relationship. I feel stifled and relegated to housewife along with working full time. It seems that all chores etc. are mine and stuff that we decided to share responsibility for is back on my […]
Today’s journey with Hagalaz was disturbing. In spite of every attempt not to, I kept remembering my childhood. This was a childhood full of anger, hate, and pain. I didn’t want to go there. I’ve left it buried deep into the back of my mind. I know all that happened but I didn’t want to […]
The sound of Hagalaz is “h” as in hail. Thinking about the Northern climate, I am aware of the severe weather that the Norse faced. Facing frequent destruction by the rough climate, the Norse would have to be prepared for setbacks and to accept that which they could not change or manage. Hagalaz is a […]
What an interesting time I spent with Hagalaz today. I “dreamt” that I entered the world of Hagalaz through its sigil in the ground. I came out into a snow-covered world. There in front of me was a large polar bear with two cubs. Now polar bears are one of the most ferocious animals in […]
I still haven’t figured out just how the moonstone relates to hagalaz. I need to do further research on the moonstone. It’s been so long I don’t remember all that I had previously read.
As I sat and thought about Hagalaz today, I remember its portrayal in the Witches’ Runes. Hecate was divided in half by […]
Today as I thought about Hagalaz, the moonstone came to mind. Years ago my first husband gave me a moonstone pendant. The pale blue of it was so beautiful. It always gave me a good feeling when I touched or looked at it. When I got into Wicca, one of the first things I did […]
Today I started my journey with Hagalaz. Hagalaz, the rune of the Crone, of Holda, represents hail. Hail - a cross between ice and rain - can preclude one of the most destructive forces in nature. Hail is one of the markers of a tornado. Consider the destruction a tornado causes as it rips through […]
Tomorrow I paint my rune. I have learned a lot about Wunjo.
Wunjo is about the energy of Joy. It brings happiness both in this world and the etheral. Wunjo can be used to fulfill my most important wishes. For instance, I so want to travel to Alaska. For this I would use Wunjo and Ehwaz.
But […]
