chariot every day, pulled by a horse named Skinfaxi. Skinfaxi's
mane lights up the earth and sky. Nott's equivalent horse,
Hrimfaxi, lights up the night. Dagaz, which traditionally means day, has a lot to do with attitude-it can indicate a change of mind or heart on the part of a querent. Sometimes, it shows that querent has decided to make the best of a situation that he can't control. Being nonreversible, Dagaz doesn't necessarily have a negative aspect. Even in otherwise negative casts, the presence of Dagaz indicates that the querent may still be able to salvage something out of an otherwise disastrous situation. If you look at it closely, you can start to see that Dagaz resembles the lemniscate (sideways figure eight), the symbol of infinity. In this way, Dagaz in a cast indicates the unlimited possibilities before a person, the idea of "the sky's the limit." Dagaz promises growth, fundamental change, and progress. Stone's shape may vary. Symbol: to create new opportunities, self change, new attitudes. Ruling Planet: Mercury. Uses: tranquillity and alignment, purifies emotions. As a talisman it helps, do see through the twilight, to notice your surroundings and their influence, to heighten persistence and endurance when you want to reach a goal As an amulet it protects from ignorance and narrowmindness, from carelessness, infertile environmental conditions. |
