Hi, I made the artifacts that you see in the front pages of Runes of Elfland, it’s nice to see it referenced.
There is much power in the female, it is she who gives power to the male,and can easily take it away again . Re ‘the lady of the lake, Excalibur’
or simply a guy chatting you up being rejected or accepted.
Do not shun your femininity, it is the gift of Freyja. Learn to use it.
The balance of the worlds is at stake. .J.

Although I am relatively new to studying the runes, I am tending to prefer the YF version of this rune; when I look at it I see GEBO and ISA together — the gift of Isa. From the melting hail comes water which nourishes and from the innocuous snowflake comes the avalanche. Makes sense to me!

Nothing was mentioned whatsoever about all of the “Health Problems” that come hand-in-hand with Mannaz. iT’s not such a beneficial Rune as you all believe.

Has anyone noticed how similar this rune and Harry Potter’s scar look? They are literally identical. Makes you wonder if Rowling knew about Runes and chose the lightning bolt for the shape of his scar BECAUSE of the rune. Especially when you consider what’s written about Sowilo: activates the highest values, promotes dedication and persistence in any endeavor, wards against harmful opinions, keeps the heart focused on its purpose, ancient code of honour, rune of success and victory. All that is seen in Harry.

Caroline, thanks for your perspective on this. I agree with your excellent point about “riding the whirlwind” but I feel that at this point in my life I NEED a disruption of sorts to help me renew myself. I also feel that all Rune work could be seen as inherently dangerous, but I think this renewal process is worth the risk. I should mention that I have had huge changes in my life in the last few years, including a move to another country, unemployment, and a 3-year fight with cancer. Like I said, I need renewal and seek the cosmic power to fuel it. Hagalaz serves both as a reminder of my dedication to change, and an admission that I need power from “other” to make it happen. That said, I remain vigilant, as I would be if I used any other potentially dangerous “tool”.

Incidently with hagalas as the great Disruptor I would see it more as stopping a process rather than a “seeding” – if it seeds it seeds something new something not expected not what you plan , surely

That’s Uranus power you are describing – which interestingly was originally called Herschel and (still has ) given another type of “wonky” H as a symbol tho this one is used infrequently nowadays . Unpredictability is key to both hagalas and uranus I wonder if changing the symbol used to a far more balanced one makes it in a sense “safer” and therefore easier to work with ? I would be circumspect about it either way myself ; riding the whirlwind not for me !
