On the JoS rune section, it says that the Nauthiz rune is connected to the Hagl rune. Could someone please explain how the two are connected?
Nauthiz pertains to avoiding disaster through hard work. This relates to our stress response, and that is why Saturn (the associated planet) is connected to hardship. However, these energies ultimately teach us to avoid disaster, and that is a good thing.
Hagl is also connected to a crisis situation, but pertains more to the manifestation of karma, both good and bad. It is the crisis which presents an opportunity for positive change. Nauthiz is the next rune in the order and would therefore relate more to actions taken as a result of the pain caused by Hagl.
Both of these runes pertain to dealing with unavoidable circumstances or obstacles, which relates to being realistic and grounded in our behavior. Nauthiz pertains to the hard work involved, whereas Hagl pertains to the pain and subsequent growth, leading to a more perfect state of being, once the problems which are present are dealt with.
For example, Hagl may cause a cigarette smoker to develop a coughing fit, cancer, or other negative situation. This then creates a crisis which must be resolved. Nauthiz establishes the discipline and may make the individual get totally serious about the situation. They would then put forth the consistent effort to break their cigarette addiction and heal themselves, therefore becoming a better person in the end.
With Hagl, we may not improve. Without Nauthiz, we may break down and fall victim to the negativity which we have to overcome. If the above individual lost their mind from stress, they would've died or suffered even more.
I believe both of these runes are relevant to Saturn. We also know that a degree of perfection is required for material manifestation. If a building has a serious problem, then it will collapse. That is why Saturn wants to test things over and over until it gets it right.
