Laguz Norse Rune Painting | Altar Piece | Fluidity, Psychic Awareness, Femininity, Sexuality, Intuition | Handmade | Elder Futhark | Viking

Keep the energy of Laguz with you through the 3x3in or 8x8in Laguz painting. When designing each piece, colors are carefully chosen based on their known meanings and associations. The colors used reflect and enhance the meaning of the rune. Each piece is thoughtfully and carefully made by hand with love and intentions.

Laguz means “water,” “sea,” or “ocean” and carries meanings associated with water. It represents fluidity and the ability to “go with the flow.” Laguz shows the law of opposites, such as how we cannot live long without water, but we also cannot live long in the water. It represents life, as all life comes from water and is sustained by it. Laguz also has connections to the moon, as water and the tides are ruled by the moon. Taking from the moon, this rune also represents emotions, intuition (purple), dreams, and psychic abilities (silver). Laguz is often considered the ultimate female rune, carrying feminine energy (silver) and embracing feminine sexuality. Laguz may be used in many ways. If you are at a point in your life where you often feel stiff, rigid, and unmoving, carry Laguz with you to help you recognize the moments where it may be more useful to go with the flow and let it lend you its energy. You may also consider carrying Laguz with you if you are looking to deepen your connection to your emotions, understand your dreams, enhance your intuition (purple) and psychic abilities (silver), or embrace your feminine energy (silver).

While Laguz does not have direct ties to any gods, I believe Laguz may be called upon in worship of the Goddess Rán, the Norse goddess of the sea. Aside from the obvious connection to the sea, she also has connections to the subconscious and intuition. If Rán is a part of your spiritual practice, consider carrying Laguz with you to deepen your connection with her or place Laguz in your altar/space of worship to honor her.

The idea behind this piece was to represent the ultimate combination of femininity and the sea: the mermaid. The shape, color, and shimmer are reminiscent of the scales present on a mermaid's tail.

All pieces are finished with an acrylic varnish for shine and protection. 8x8in pieces are installed with hanging wire for easy hanging.
