POSSIBLE DIVINATORY MEANING: This Rune is one of the cycle Runes and of the four mentioned it is shortest in duration because it is what happens in a twenty-four hour day.  A  180 degree change can take place in a day.   Anything can happen.  What was today can be totally different tomorrow. Our elders always gave us good advice when they told us, "Go sleep on it!"  Tomorrow is a new day with new choices.  They knew the meaning of this Rune. The presence of Dagaz encourages meditation.  Make each day special in honor of all the beauty, awe, and wonder of this universe our Higher Power acknowledges.  Miracles can and do happen every day.
