Hagalaz

Symbols: Destructive forces, The Unexpected, Hail, limitations, delay

Myths and deities: Ragnarok, Loki, Frost Dwarfs

Interpretation: Hagalaz is the rune of hail. Hail is a destructive and elemental force, so one can expect this rune to represent the disruption of one's life. This is an acknowledgement of the force of nature at its worst. Elemental disruption, sudden loss, hard temptation, destruction, misfortune, accident, and a drastic change. Drawing this Rune is an indication that although things can look bleak, there can be a real triumph over a situation.  It can also be a warning to maintain a balance in your life at the time of this reading.  If you have been sick, it can indicate recovery is on the way.

Upright position: Unexpected occurrences and changes of plans, sometimes a death, and not the right time for new starts.

Inverse position:  The opposite of chaos is yet more chaos, as illustrated by the fact that this rune cannot be reversed.

Use for: for elimination of unwished influences and destructive patterns
