Lagu: A rune of ebb & flow

All men are born in such a form
yet they be not the same
for some seek anonymity
while others seek acclaim
and but a few possess the word
and they be set apart
and woe betide the sorry fool
who falsely claims their art

Lagu represents water in its many phases and moods. It is the rune of fluidity, which signifies the mutable uncertainties of existence. It is the life-force which is inherent in matter, organic growth and waxing force. It is the medium by which passage may be gained, but not without risk.

Lagu depicts water, the ocean and running water. The sea is a formidable mistress with its mood swings; a force to be respected. Therefore Lagu in a casting represents the testing experiences of life -- initiation is also indicated. Also receptiveness and spiritual awareness. Often signifies a feminine influence. Dependant on how it appears; with what other runes it has around it depends on what mood the mistress of the sea is in at the time of the casting.

Its rulership is the Moon.
