Hagal's Ætt

Hail falls suddenly and damages the crops, but it melts into water that nourishes new growth. Hagalaz is a disruption you didn't choose. It's rarely comfortable, but it clears space and often leads somewhere better.

Reversed (merkstave): This rune looks the same either way up, so it has no reversed meaning.

What is this storm clearing space for?

Rune reading is a reflective practice rooted in Norse and Germanic tradition. It doesn't predict a fixed future. You're always the one who decides.
