Laguz Rune

Laguz – Rune of Water

I’m sitting here in the days leading up to the New Moon in Cancer, sipping on a glass of water in the summer heat, pondering what the Element of Water means to us. Laguz is the rune of the Water Element, the unconscious mind, the astral realm, dreamwork, psychic energy and mediumship.

Water carries psychic energy. This is not a ‘New Age’ concept but has been known by mystics since the dawn of time. Think, for example of holy water or of how fasting to detox the blood is part of many spiritual paths. Water itself is a medium and it is in quite a literal sense what makes us able to channel messages from beyond. Try channelling or doing a psychic reading when you are dehydrated – It’s simply not possible!

Stripped back meaning based on the actual word and shape

Laguz is more akin to the English lake than it is to the modern Swedish word sjö (=lake). However ‘lagoon’ is lagun in modern Swedish and only one actual letter off the old Norse. Some claim that Laguz could also relate to ‘leek’ but I’m not going to go there. I think that is a simple misunderstanding of words that sound similar but have different meanings. If you are interested in etymology may wish to check this Wiki article out to make your own mind up.

The shape of the rune is a vertical energy channel running between Yesod and Malkuth, the 9th and 10th spheres on the Tree of Life, with a hook into Yesod, the astral realm. When reversed, the hook is in the ground and we are quite literally ‘stuck in the mud.’
