As rune legends go, the runes were a gift of god to Odin and a gift of Odin to man. Found or granted after he hung himself upside down on one leg in meditation.
And to find then, an understanding of self & divinity. In the tarot, the card number 12 of the Hanged Man. In the Major Arcana of the soul stands for Odin. And man’s path in achieving his great work.
In the Indian occult system, this is called Siddhi. Or a mystic achievement. Usually associated with divine powers, much like the intuition of Odin.
In most people’s lives, this cyclical great work implied by the Hanged Man stands for an achievement of station or goal in their lives. Their life’s mountain of achievement if you will.
Although originally usually Siddhi is reserved in reference to manta, tantric or discipline related powers as a word of ability. The origin of the word however, refers to an interesting star.
Vindiamatrix - Epsilon Virgo
Vindiamatrix is known as the fruit plucking herald, in the constellation of the Virgo.
However in Indian Astronomy, she is known as Siddhi or Sawari.
She holds the power to transport gods and sages to the stars and back, amongst other mysterious skills.
She is also the wife of the sage Matanga (Matanga means elephant), and in the Indian Epic Ramayana, Rama & his consorts visit their hermitage along the western shores of Pampa.
Runes
Runes have long since also been associated with magic and have a lot of natural lore to them. Each rune is a talisman in itself, referencing a god, Demi-god or natural force.
The shapes of energy in the signs a reflection of how inner energy moves in spirit currents.
And as such, even despite so few in number as compared to other methods, their divination is considered quite powerful indeed.
English Name: Breakthrough
Dagaz denotes important breakthroughs in relation to whatever concerns you. The moment is right and therefore success is assured. This is the Rune of radical trust, even if circumstances require you to jump to the void with apparently empty hands.
It often introduces an important time of prosperity and great results. However, you are reminded to pay attention and not allow yourself to be carried away or to behave carelessly in your new situation. Humility and generosity are advised.

A coat of quotes and passing poetry
"Everything and everyone has a distinguishing quality.That one trait above all others. The attribute which allows them to be instantly found to trait.For consciousness is always of a dual-nature, between the perceived and perceiver, rendering subject and object. ‘That-ness’ and the self.And like storing the heightened memory of a reality, an awareness in and of itself, the attribute too self-aware to the knower’s cognizance.A feeling, that knows itself, as you separate from yourself."
