Dagaz represents the light of day, and the banishment of darkness and evil.
Day represented a safeguard against the darkness. The night was an uncertain time where the misdeeds of man and beast were most often wrought. This rune also points out that day and night are but measurements of time, and it marches on for all people regardless of wealth or power.
