Gebo, the seventh rune in this sequence, follows Ansuz and precedes Wunjo. Our exploration begins with the Elder Futhark, a runic system that dates back, possibly as far as two thousand years.

Gebo in the Younger Futhark – The Lost Gift.“Darkness is not darkness” is a wonderful saying to meditate upon, and will reveal to the seeker that there is no true opposites as we are often convinced of, but only polarities within the supreme mystery of existence. There is little reason to think that the ancients were not aware of this, even mathematically. As well, the light of the moon is a reflection of the sun’s light. The sun is always ‘there’, it is our world that spins around and causes the illusion that it is not. Darkness is not darkness, it is a quality of the light. Mastery of invisibility leads to the understanding of existence through its opposite: non-existence.Īn interesting thing to keep in mind is that the futhark has no rune for the night or for the moon. Finding this point of poise takes great skill and practice with Dagaz but mastery of this rune of enlightenment leads down the path of disappearance. The vibrational patterns of the self, or an object can be dampened so that the perception of material things to the human eye grow faint. In the stillness and silent questioning of the mind that is left behind, all truth resounds.ĭagaz can be used to gain absolute stillness. No one single belief or viewpoint is sufficient and so all beliefs and viewpoints can be progressively abandoned. This practice eventually leads to the practitioner no longer requiring a single right or wrong answer to the mysteries and many truths can exist complimentary to one another. At the center, all power is to be found and equilibrium is a desirable attainment. It is to find the center between two extremes and maintaining a state of mind undisturbed by any mental or emotional storm. The transformation of paradox into non-dual awareness occurs with Dagaz energies. The ‘point of poise’ entails balancing polarities so that all mystery is revealed to consciousness. It is reminiscent of the lemniscate, the symbol of infinity, and the moebius strip, timelessness and illimitable potential, as well as an overturned hourglass. Dagaz holds dominion over this union and is a tool that gives you great potency for present awareness and future growth. Much has been written on the psychology and metaphysics of uniting left and right brain functions. When chronicled, it marks the beginnings of the mission of a World Savior on Earth. Achievement of this state of mind SEEMS to be a relatively rare occurrence in human life at this stage of evolution. It contains within its energies the experience called ‘satori’, a spiritual awakening experience common in all cultures.Īrchaeological evidence proves that Dagaz has been used as a symbol of Light for more than four thousand years. Both are runes of change – Jera is a rune of gentle change, Dagaz is a rune of bold change, for example, the burst of light at the moment of illumination. Both refer to time, Jera on an annual cycle and Dagaz on a daily cycle. Integration of female and male into complete beingĭagaz is the counterpart to the rune Jera.
