Hagalaz translates to the "hail" card in my Enchanted Runes Oracle Deck and I chose to paint the scene of Ragnarok. The original is a 16x20 acylic artwork on canvas. In the oracle, there is a difference in pulling this card upright or reversed. Here is a further breakdown of this special card:
Upright
Hagalaz represents a catastrophe. It is an unavoidable wave of unpleasantness and frustration. Hagalaz is the power of natural forces, much like a hailstorm that can wreak havoc. The rune of darkness has cast clouds that have encompassed the land and destruction lies ahead. There are external factors at play outside of your control. This is a period of disruption and change in your life. It may signify that you are experiencing unexpected and potentially challenging events or circumstances. This is an unfortunate delay in your plans. With inevitability of fate, you will feel shrunken and powerless. Future dreams will feel crushed. Maybe the storm is made up of your own release of emotions or pent-up tension. Or possibly it is through karmic debt that you find yourself here. Certain events that have occurred, or will occur, can’t be altered or manipulated. These obstacles will reveal how truly fragile being a human can be. You are at your limit. Humility and submission may be the only thing to take from this. It is a time to surrender, face it, endure and survive. You may feel undeserving of what is to come or what you are already in the process of experiencing, but know that at the end of this storm, the hail will melt. It will turn into much needed water, and you as the seed will be forced to transform. Destruction will turn into rebirth.
Reversed
There is not an inverted or reversed position to this rune
