HAGALAZ is ‘forces beyond our control’.


Hagalaz represents a dramatic event or trauma which comes from outside your own immediate perceptions. Hagalaz is the ‘bolt from the blue’ that shakes things up, then rearranges them perfectly. This rune is integrated into the mysteries of renewal through destruction.  Like Odin, sometimes one must loose all in order to find his or her own personal power.  The transformation from destruction to fertility comes after much upheaval.

Challenges are occurring in your life, but these are to be embraced rather than feared.  A hailstorm, for example, may seem daunting and scary at first, but if you catch a hailstone you will realise that it is only water and is not to be feared.

Hagalaz is a ‘wake up call’. It is the rune that tells you that although things may appear to be going well, due to complacency on your behalf, you may be about to take a tumble.

Hagalaz is the rune that tells you to pay attention. Often throughout one’s lif, we receive ‘wake-up calls’, which are often misinterpreted as ‘Divine punishment’ for some imagined wrong, when in fact they are merely a way of drawing your attention to a recurrent pattern in your life which needs to be addressed in order for you to progress, positively.

Hagalaz indicates uncontrolled forces wreaking havoc and disruptive plans and ushering a time of trials and tests.  But all is not lost, as Hagalaz also suggests that the crisis will lead to completion or closure of some sort that heralds an inner harmony.

Change is definitely necessary. An adjustment on world-views and personal outlook may be indicated.  Initially, all may seem catastrophic, but its aftermath will prove fruitful.  Your power lies within your inner strength, and it is this that will provide you with support and guidance at a time when everything you’ve taken for granted is being challenged.
