Dagaz – Merkstave Meaning (Reversed)
Keywords:
The dawn has not yet come, and daylight is still a good way off. Right now it is perseverance and trust that continued effort will bring you into the light. But now is not the time for change, that time is still coming.
Interpretation:
The Dagaz Merkstave marks the time, and the time is ‘not yet’. The future is before you, and the light of dawn is coming, it’s just a little further.
You have the skills and abilities to achieve the goal you wish to reach, now is a time for you to persevere, not give in.
Keep your eyes on the horizon, keep working and fighting through the challenges of night.
Do not try to force the change, the merkstave rune tells us that this is not the time for those efforts. Instead, we should keep working with the change.
There is no hopelessness here, no lack of vision, merely time and work left to finish. Know that darkness is not darkness, it is not a thing, but the absence of a thing.
The Dagaz Merkstave speaks of this truth, the future is a thing, but it is a thing that is not yet.
