Dagaz is daybreak: the moment the dark gives way and everything looks different. It can mirror a breakthrough, a sudden understanding or a turning point. It invites you to welcome the change and see what the new light shows.
Reversed
This rune looks the same upside down, so it has no reversed meaning.
Lore
The name means day. Only the Anglo-Saxon poem covers it, calling daylight dear to everyone and a source of hope and help to rich and poor alike. Its shape, two halves meeting at a single point, is often read as the balance between night and day.
