Laguz Rune ᛚ
Intuition and emotions — the full meaning of the Laguz rune in the Elder Futhark: symbolism, gift, shadow and practical application.
Meaning of the Laguz rune
Laguz (ᛚ) is an Elder Futhark rune whose essence is: intuition and emotions. The rune of water, fluidity, intuition, the unconscious
Follow your feelings, not logic. Today water knows more than the mind — intuition will see what reason lets slip.
Symbolism and archetype
The sign ᛚ carries within it the archetype of one who flows. You know how to adapt to conditions without losing yourself. Your intuition is oceanic. In Norse tradition, the Laguz rune was carved on amulets and stones to invoke exactly this quality of life.
Runic period: April 29 – May 14 — people born on these days carry Laguz as their birth rune.
The gift and shadow of the rune
Gift: You flow. You know how to adapt to conditions without losing yourself. Your intuition is oceanic.
Shadow: Drowning in emotions. You lose direction — others carry you where you don't want to go.
Lesson: Learn to be a river with banks. Fluidity needs structure.
Practical application
- Every day 10 minutes of meditation by water (literally or through visualization)
- Write down your values — the banks of your river
- When emotions sweep you away — ask: 'what is mine, and what belongs to others?'
