“Our future selves call us from infinite pasts, and each night are eroded with our dreams.”

Laguz - “Log-uhz” - Literally: “Water” or Ocean - Esoteric: Unconscious, Collective Memory

Rune of the context of becoming or evolutionary processes, which may at times be largely unconscious. Rune of the matrix of action. Rune of upward growth out of roots in the unconscious to unfoldment and blossoming in the light.

Governs:

• Mastery of emotion in order to shape wyrd
• Guidance through difficult initiatory tests, ie. initiation into life
• Increase in vitality and life force
• Gathering of amorphous magical power for formation and structuring by the will
• Communication between your conscious mind to another’s unconscious mind
• Development of ’second sight’ or prophetic wisdom

My Notes:

Water is the symbol of unconscious and invisible Life forces. All of life is dependent on water, and therefore Laguz represents the universal ocean, the supreme unity of all life. The dream state and the shadow element both linger beneath its surface, and the human unconscious is revealed when explored and exposed to the conscious mind. We ‘take the plunge’. To the runic initiate the unconscious forces are controlled for good use through mastery of runic skills. Still, the initiate understands the potency of the unconscious sea to break loose from its control and is ever watchful.

The substance of Laguz is everywhere present, pervades all things and underlies all manifestation. It is the living energy out of which everything is made. It sustains and enriches any idea that is projected into it. The ability to see clairvoyantly and into the future are psychic talents associated with Laguz, as is protection from physical and psychic poisons.

The rune can be used in establishing a communications link from your conscious mind, under willful intent, to the unconscious mind of another. Caution and much wisdom must be exercised in such subtle manipulations. Amongst the simplest applications is letting someone else know about their inconsiderate behavior, transgression or rudeness when it would not be appropriate to speak. Connect through the region of the third eye and communicate the will.

Water is a psychically chargeable medium, and this includes all vital liquids such as blood and spittle. These are the fluids that carry your Life Force and act as a bonding medium for many, if not all, of your psycho-spiritual constructs. A woman’s psychic abilities are enhanced at the time of menstruation.
