This rune-relationship project has taken longer than I thought: a whole fucking year, and I'm not halfway through. I stumbled when I lost my joy (Wunjo) and had to create it again; then I got hung up on Hagalaz and it took a natural event to shake me out of my stagnation.

So here, this is what Hagalaz means.

I asked for a cold and snowy winter, the giantess gave me a winter of biting cold, drifts of snow, and a frozen lake. I asked for a couple additional days of this, she granted them.

Recently I thought to myself, it's about time for me to write about Hagalaz, I could use some hail.

See what the giantess has given me today. She holds me in her hands, and I am hers.

This is an experiment. I wanted to see what ChatGPT is capable of, so I greeted it in #OldNorse … and it responded in kind.

The pronunciation is almost entirely correct. I'm guessing they're using an Icelandic speaker. I ran the text through a rune translator to set it in Younger #Futhark, then cleaned it up according to what few grammatical rules I know.

I'll probably take this down today. I'm a little blown away by this.

YES

I'm going to colour this tomorrow but I'm also going to scan it because it looks great in black and white like this :D
