As the Nordic countries have long nights and winters, they consider they associate the day with light and life. Dagaz represents the very essence of the natural daylight and the power of the sun. It is the highest point of the natural darkness-light cycle, and therefore it is the divine light in spirituality. Dagaz is brightness, progress, development, growth, and fundamental change.
