Draw one of the 24 Elder Futhark runes as your rune of the day, with its glyph, name and meaning.
Dagaz
Day: dawn, breakthrough and transformation completed — the light switch flips; act in the new clarity.
Dagaz is day — more precisely daybreak, the instant darkness tips over into light. Its glyph is a perfect symmetry, two triangles meeting like night and day at the moment of exchange, and it carries the futhark's most hopeful weather.
Dagaz stands twenty-fourth, the final rune of the third aett and of the whole row: the alphabet that began with cattle ends with dawn. In a daily draw it marks thresholds crossed — the fog lifts, the decision lands, the new chapter is already underway.
Begin the day with its own sign: the free tool draws one random rune from all 24 of the Elder Futhark, entirely inside your browser.
