____ Hagalaz_______
Meaning – 'Hail' (to stop in your tracks)
A wake up call is due and with this rune, like wild and harsh weather, life is forced to change and in some cases can almost be destroyed.
The force of Hagalaz is beyond human control.
The word Hagalaz originally came from the word “hailstone” and like hail, this rune is considered to stop the flow of activity (as in the same way that water crystalises into hail). This rune can cause loss, suffering, poor health and damage.
It can affect any area of life that the higher consiousness must correct and is done in such a way that there is little choice in the matter.
Once this ruthless storm subsides, the course of life on a personal level adapts to a new path; a wiser, harmonious and more enlightened transition is gained at the outcome.
