Rune Stones:
Laguz

Focusing on this rune, Laguz, can help you understand the
flow of energy around you.

Laguz is the flow of water. Water
moves from the mountain rivulet to the
brook, stream, to the lake, outflows to
the creek, which passes to the river,
and ultimately out to the oceans.
Water flows, fluid, adjusting it’s course
to the path of least resistance.
Learning the meaning of “going with
the flow” is what Laguz challenges you
to do.

When riding white water rapids you

are placed in one of the ultimate “go with the
flow” positions. If you don’t read the water
right and use the force of the flow of the water
to your advantage, you can be lost in the
waves. Capsized you flounder, gasping as the
flow pushes you under. Remember you are the
master of your craft. Your guidance on the
prow or paddle is what directs your craft, your
life, forward.

flotsam you should be charting your course, using the currents within the water
to help speed you on your way. Use this same theory in your emotional
advancement and the happiness you create will be strong and solid.

Going with the flow also includes not going to fast. If you outstrip the current
you are moving too fast, not seeing all that is about you. Your forceful intent for
movement negates the flow of the river. Don’t negate the flow of the energy of
the Universe in your life. Open yourself to the receptive energy of Laguz, allow
yourself to open up to the flow of the universal energy. As we are all made up
of stuff of the stars, the ebbs and flows of tides from the moon, the turn of the
Milky Way across the night sky, the energy of the universe is there for all of us
to use.

Some aspects of the hippy culture of the ‘60s weren’t all bad – “go with the
flow” is one of them that really has merit!

Laguz - Flow

Laguz belongs to Tyr’s Aett.

Key Word(s): Flow, fluidity, lake, water, and sea.

Element: Laguz, asking you to go with the flow, is aligned with the element of
water.

Laguz reminds us we need to connect with the energies around us
and use their flow to our advantage. Just as the white water can
spill you in your kayak, it can create the force to turn the miller’s
wheels which ground the wheat. Water wheels are still used
today to generate power. Water wheels are a perfect example of
learning how to use the flow of the energies around you to your
advantage. Take the analogy inside yourself. Where can you
use the flow of the energy of the universe to help create the life
you hope for.

Travel, normally to another continent, is indicated here. If Laguz shows up in
your spread you can look forward to a physical journey, especially over water.
But don’t forget the journey within, the flow of the personal self that Laguz
calls you to undertake. Laguz challenges you to look around. Are you tied
down to an anchor so that the ebb and flow of life move around you as if you
were a rock upon the strand? Do you float endlessly upon the foam like so
much flotsam, aimless, at the will of the flow? Either extreme displays a lack of
control and improper use of energy flows. Rather than floating aimlessly like
