Step 12 of 12 · Ragnarök and What Comes After

Dagaz

Modern interpretation

Why this step

The trail ends at daybreak. On this site Dagaz is the dawn, a turning point from dark to light, and it has no reversed form. Lying in opposition, the site’s notes read it as a completion, an ending, coming full circle. It holds the same two readings scholars give Níðhöggr’s last flight, ruin and renewal, and the trail does not choose between them.
