I bought this pewter Dagaz rune pendant at the Renaissance fair yesterday. It’s supposed to symbolize a breakthrough or positive life-transformation. It also occurred to me that the meaning (day, dawn) coincided with the title of one of Nietzsche’s books, alternately translated as either “Dawn” or “Daybreak,” but the German title is actually “Morgenröthe,” literally “morning red,” so that doesn’t quite work.
Later I looked up about more about rune meanings and discovered that ansuz, the “messenger rune,” is the one associated with the god Loki. Maybe I’ll look for that online or at my next weird street fair.
I wore my rune necklace under my shirt while teaching today. It made me feel better for some reason. Gotta love that placebo effect.
I jumped ship from Tumblr and this is where I landed. I'm a philosophy postdoc (INTJ, she/her) with a serious thing for Tom Hiddleston as Loki. Sometimes I even write fanfiction about it. Mostly Loki and Thor/Loki (sometimes NSFW), some miscellaneous Hiddles, MCU (Steve/Tony or "Superhusbands" is my secondary ship), occasional Cherik, Game of Thrones, LOTR, Whedonverse... whatever catches my fancy, really.
