How to draw & carve it
- Stroke 1: the main stave, top to bottom.
- Stroke 2: from top going right, in one line.
- Carve or draw with intent: say the rune's name out loud as you finish the last stroke. On wood or a candle, colour the grooves red (ochre, paint, or traditionally a drop of your own blood; red paint works just as well).
Try it tonight. Draw Laguz on a slip of paper with a red pen, hold it while you breathe slowly nine times, and write one sentence about where intuition needs to show up in your life. Keep it under your pillow or on your altar for a moon cycle.
