Laguz is the 21st rune and corresponds to the letter “L”.
Laguz, also known as “Lagus”, “Lagur”, “Laukaz”, “laf”, “Laaz” or “Lögr”, means water, life energy, as well as primordial water, lake, body of water, sea, pool or waterfall. It represents rebirth, the fundamental energy of life, organic growth and vital force. Furthermore, this rune symbolises introspection, self-reflection, the unconscious and intuition. It bestows the ability to trust in the flow of life and to ride the emotions through ebb and flow.
“Be true to yourself, live your own life, stay on the path of the soul, experience wholeness.”
The message of the Laguz rune
“Dive deep into the lake of self-awareness. You are connected to the primal force of life; you are an expression of the primal force of life. You are a divine being in a human body. Manifest your divinity and your clairvoyance now. Attain spiritual clarity. Having emerged from the depths and freed from old burdens, fully rooted in the present moment, you enjoy your being on Earth. You are simply one with love; you are one with your inner strength. Relax in every moment of your life. In the depths of your lake, a ray of light illuminates your shadows. You accept them. Embrace the good and the evil, the light and the darkness within you. Laguz creates harmony within you, in your actions. Reconcile yourself with the transience of life; let a peaceful stream arise from the depths of the lake. Follow the river peacefully, with a light-filled bank on one side and a bank rich in shade on the other – both are necessary. Laguz accompanies you to the sea, where everything comes together and you may finally experience your wholeness.”
A positive outlook on life
The person feels able to come to terms with themselves. They feel powerful, alive and ready to engage in a dialogue with themselves and their inner depths. They feel that they should explore their inner self, as well as recognise and integrate both their shadow and light-filled sides. Furthermore, they are very tolerant of those around them, because they are able to sense and perceive the shadows in others.
A distressing emotional state
Fear of being a bad person, fear of looking deep within oneself, fear of not being able to cope with life, of not measuring up.
