Generally the rune Hagalaz represents the phenomenal power of the
elements and
disruptive natural forces.
Think of the damage that can be
done by a short but
intense hailstorm flattening whole fields of crops in minutes -
that's the essence of Hagalaz! (Conversely, Hagalaz may represent just
an
interruption or delay when it is cast among a group of mostly positive
runes. Remember that it is always important to take into consideration
the context of a rune.)
Many books about runes associate Hagalaz with hailstones, hailstorms,
and hail itself (in its context as weather
- dense balls of ice pelting down from the sky, usually in relatively
short bursts).
This association can be explained in terms of the above example of
fields being flattened by hailstones and it can also taken
further.
Some texts talk of hagalaz encompassing "absolute potential energy"
in the form of ice (hailstones) and fire (delivered to earth with
punishing speed).
The rune Hagalaz may serve as a warning of possible disruption on your
path ahead. This may be due to the natural elements or it may concern
circumstances beyond your control adversely affecting a job, business
situation,
or relationship. Whatever challenge is referred to is also an opportunity
for growth.
The rune Hagalaz may herald challenges followed by changes - yet these
changes may bring freedom and forms of liberations previously unimagined.
Tomorrow may be radically different from today.
Now is not the time to take great risks. There may be shake-up
on the way and the emergence of new strength through personal growth.
