Characteristics
Associations with water in all its forms. Cleansing action.
Tidal movement - ebb and flow. Fortuitous omen for overseas
travel, fishing or other aquatic activities. Laguz means
water, a vital part of life, but a constant danger, just as our
journey through life encounters risks. Laguz contains elements
of fluidity, changeability, and a lack of control. It represents
the sensual madness of sexuality, the unconscious, intuitive,
and psychic abilities. Its deceptive elements come from its
variety, rather than from any menace. Traditionally, Laguz is
the ultimate female rune.
 Personal
Interpretation
Only by attunement to creation will your life truly flow as it
is meant to. Emotional balance comes from harmony with creation
around you. For example, natural foods lead to natural flow,
whereas unnatural foods lead to disharmony and stagnation.
The sea is always fluid and moving, so it
should be with your life. Embrace change itself,
for it is the only true constant in life.

Talk by Leila Vey
I have seen Laguz linked with Temperance, and The High
Priestess, but I feel its strongest connection, by far,
is with The Moon.
When I read about Laguz, I might as
well be reading a description of the Moon card. It is
truly a perfect and profound fit. It is probably the
best rune/tarot fit in the entire Futhark.

The Rune Poem: Verse XXI Laguz
Water seems interminable to men
If they should venture on a shaky bark;
And the sea-surges greatly frighten them,
And the sea-steed takes no heed of the curb.
