However, by the 20th century, there was a revival of interest in runes, which has resulted in their popularity today.
Later, the Algiz rune was used by nationalists to strengthen their claims to the supposed superiority of their causes, which gave it a bad reputation. It’s widely believed that the runes were once sacred symbols of the Bronze Age magicians and priest, which were eventually incorporated into a system of writing, each with corresponding phonetic value. In some contexts, the Algiz rune can also be associated with luck and life force, as it’s a symbol of the hamingja-a guardian angel who accompanies a person and decides for their luck. It’s also thought to be the force used by Heimdallr, the watchman of gods, in his aspect as a guardian of Asgard. The rune is also used for communication with the cosmic wells of Mimir, Hvergelmir and Urdhr. In magic, the Algiz rune is used for communication with other worlds, especially Asgard, the world of the Aesir or Norse gods, including Odin, Thor, Frigg and Baldr. The rune is also associated with the Bifrost, the three-colored bridge of Norse mythology protected by Heimdallr, which connects Asgard, Midgard, and Hel. Spiritual Connection and Consciousnessįrom an esoteric perspective, the Algiz rune represents the spiritual connection between gods and humanity, as the Germanic peoples communicate with their gods through the sacred posture of the rune-or stodhur. In the Germania by Tacitus, the divine twins were sometimes depicted as being joined at the head, as well as represented as elk, deer, or hart. It’s believed to be a protective grove dedicated to gods, so the rune also has the protective power of the divine-the Alcis twins.
The Gothic term alhs, meaning sanctuary, has been related to the Algiz rune as well. In an Old English rune poem, the elk-sedge flourishes in the water and grows in marshy regions-yet it wounds anyone who tries to grasp it, associating it with defense and protection. In fact, the Germanic term elhaz means elk. The Algiz rune also resembles the elk sedge, a water plant known as elongated sedge. In the ancient times, the symbol was carved into spears for protection and victory. In mythology, they are protectors and life givers. In Gothic, the now extinct East Germanic language used by the Goths, the term algis is associated with the swan, which has been connected with the concept of the valkyrjur-mythical beings who fly by means of swan feathers. Also its ideographic representation may have been derived from a basic sign of defense-a splayed hand. Its symbolism is derived from the name of the rune itself, as the Proto-Germanic term algiz means protection. The Algiz rune is considered the most powerful rune of protection.
