Algiz (Sometimes spelled Elhaz) is the 15th rune in the Elder Futhark. It is phonetically, “Z.” It is the 7th rune in Heimdall’s Aett.
Algiz is connected the to the Elk tree. A Elk tree hedge is almost impenetrable.
Algiz is connected to Eihwaz. My Eihwaz pendent has Wolfsangle type on one side and Algiz on the other.
Algiz is the primary rune in the Helm of Awe, which is a protective Norse symbol. Many Norse shields have the Helm placed on the front for both protection and terror for the enemy.
Anglo-Saxon Poem:
Elk’s sedge has its home most often in the fen,
it waxes in the water and grimly wounds
and burns with blood any person
who in any way tries to grasp it.
POEM NOTE: I’ve seen were the work person is a man, child, or warrior.
Algiz face up in a reading:
Protection or sanctuary
It’s going to be ok
You’re safe
Worthwhile
Algiz face down in a reading:
Face down does not mean danger, but it may mean not safe.
A sacred space needs to be created
Risky undertaking
