HAGALL, RUNE OF HAIL AND COLD

"Hagall is cold grain and shower of sleet and sickness of serpents". Hagalaz, the ninth rune of the futhark, is hail, devastation, the destructive force of nature, sudden change. But it also has a positive side, acceptance, personal growth, rebirth after that hailstorm. Hail destroys fields and devastates crops, but it becomes water, water that will feed the fields so that the new seed will germinate, even stronger than the previous one. Hagalaz, also called Hagall or Hail, is the rune mother, rune 9 in the futhark and the first of the second Aett. Hagall represents evolution, the continuous turning of the wheel, suffering as part of the tapestry, the fact of accepting that we cannot avoid the play of the norns. There are no strong hearts that have not suffered in the past. Hagall is learning, accepting the wyrd and learning from pain and suffering, using them as a foundation to build a strong and true future to ourselves. It's a protective rune, it teaches us to wait, to look inside ourselves, to know ourselves and improve as beings. Hagall is metamorphosis, transformation. If you ask the caterpillar, she will tell you that the change to be a butterfly is painful, but once she gets it can finally fly. In a rune run Hagall indicates that there will be a strong change in our life, it warns us to be ready for change, evolution and subsequent rebirth. Hagalaz hasn't inverted position. The color of Hagall is light blue, the trees are yew and ash (so sacred in Nordic folklore), the plant is fern, its crystal is black onyx, its elements are water and earth. Ymir is the representative of Hagall. Ymir, the first, the one from whom everything descends, the one who was born from fire and ice. From the sweat of Ymir's body the first giants were born, just as hail becomes water to give life. Hagall is the beginning and the end, the spiral, change and evolution, death and life, the infinite cycle in which we are all immersed...Art by @derectumart on Deviantart#oldnorse#norserunes#futhark#hagall#hail#hagalaz#norsefolklore#ymir#norns#völva#seiðr#norseculture#pagansofinstagram#vikingsofinstagram#wildwitch#chooseyourlife#newcycle#wyrd#rebirth#nwmb#aayr
