Runa Dagaz: The Importance of Waiting |

All 24 runes in an oracle have a basis of meaning. And one of them is Dagaz, a butterfly rune that brings a beautiful message. But before understanding what this symbol means, it is worth explaining that the message of each rune varies according to the position it appears in the game – whether conventional or inverted.

Therefore, the Dagaz rune that we will talk about here is one of the eight that do not have an inversion. According to oracle scholars, this means that these runes have such great strength that they function as “astral codes” to talk to Gods and access new planes of consciousness.

The other runes without inversion are:

Geofu (rune of love) Hagallaz (rune of natural and destructive force for a good transformation) Isa (the ice) Jara (the harvest) Eihwaz (the yew tree) Sowilo (sun) Ingwaz (womb – testicle) And, finally, the Dagaz (butterfly)

Dagaz: rune of transformation and awakening

The shape of the Dagaz rune, as you can see in the illustration, looks like the wings of a butterfly in a very primal way. And it is exactly this meaning that it brings in its symbol: a butterfly, although the name “Dagaz” comes from the Anglo-Saxon meaning “dawn of the day, twilight”. In this case, it is as if the rune received the potential energy of the sun and moon at the same time. In practice, it symbolizes the moment when people wake up to a new day that begins, in short, it symbolizes the arrival of new times.

Curiosity and history

Runes are valuable historical heritage, magical symbols that contain meanings and energetic manifestations manifested in strokes. Legend has it that it was the Norse God Odin himself who brought the runes from the heavens to Earth, while other historians claim that who brought them was the Goddess Freya, who governs the first rune of the order of all 24, called the Futhark. But what really matters is that we have wonderful advice, which can be consulted on a daily basis, with the aim of reflecting on life and better choosing our paths.

The Dagaz rune represents the day, the dawn, the energy force of the sun itself and its benefits, as well as heat. After cold seasons, summer arrives to bring relief and hope for better times. Therefore, we say that Dagaz brings at dawn the hope of growth, increase and transformation, relief after a long dark time. In a game, Dagaz symbolizes the prediction of a success that comes slowly.

Council of Dagaz

We live in a world full of privileges and perks arising from technology and the benefits of modernity, which leave us unaccustomed to noticing change that arrives slowly, as it is easy for us to notice only the wide-open pleasures.

Every distraction brought by social networks, computers, cell phones with applications, games and television does not leave us time to be silent, in order to listen to what we feel, think or yearn. This makes it difficult to seek self-knowledge, opening up to sadness, mental confusion or even depression. This suggests that the vast majority of people involved in all this modernity only know how to observe the victory of their big goals achieved, but do not know how to define the steps that lead to the achievement of goals or small achievements.

Dagaz warns that we must be more optimistic and learn to look at life as it actually is, not as we would like it to be.

Know that the greatest achievements are those that arrive slowly, gaining space, structuring themselves to have more stability. Dagas guarantees that through hard work, when you least expect it, you’ll be at your peak, conquering your big dream. After all, many times life is already going the way you planned, but because you are stuck in idealizations, you are often not able to see the changes that are happening.

Change from the inside out

Do not forget that real transformation starts from the inside out, like the caterpillar that closes itself in its little world (in the cocoon) and after so much diving inside it awakens to its real beauty, becoming a butterfly. All the beauty of a butterfly was already foreseen in the life of the caterpillar, but it needed to stop, close itself off, look inside itself and silence the outside world so that it could transform itself. She comes out of the dark and lonely cocoon so beautiful and happy that she flies free.

And this can be compared with life itself: look inside yourself, no matter how terrible it may seem to be alone and in complete silence to realize your “I”, your needs and your inner voice. When you are ready to perceive everything that surrounds you and what your soul cries out for, the first step will already have been taken. And then just wait for the wind to direct you to the right path.

Don’t complain about life, don’t lose hope for not achieving something you wanted. See that the world around you revolves, that life happens, nothing is stopped and neither are you.

Everything that happens is part of an evolution that leads you to your goal. If your goal is reached early, without having gone through everything you are going through today or have gone through in life, it is likely that you will not have the structure to maintain your dream. Therefore, take advantage of the time while realization is not enough to prepare and transform your interior.

Just as the planet needs two cold and unproductive seasons (winter and autumn) and two warm and productive seasons (summer and spring), we also experience this in our lives. The dark moments make our roots even stronger, for structure and vitality. Thus, when the good days arrive, they will be celebrated and valued, because you have already observed the two extremes and will then know how to bring good fruits into your life. And in a more mature way, he will know how to seize the opportunity when it arrives.

Now stop, think and be silent, realize that what before seemed to be bad and dark, can be the first steps towards your transformation that starts from the inside out, bringing better days and the success that is already coming. Take the first step: be optimistic and see with different eyes.
