ALGIZ - Defender

The Rune Poem - Verse XV
The Elk's-sedge grows in the fen,
Flourishing in the waters
It wounds and burns the blood
of those who grasp it.

Introduction:

Algiz is used to ward off evil. It is said to offer opportunities for growth but more important than that it offers protection.

Interpretation:

Upright.

The things that you have worked so hard for are coming to fruition. New relationships will enrich your life and positive influences are shaping every aspect of your existence.

Even in the heat of battle you are protected, wisdom and vision are your allies.

Inverted.

You may find yourself coming under attack. Take steps to protect yourself and be careful not to allow yourself to become exposed or vulnerable.

It is now, more than ever, that you must hold yourself to your highest values and do not allow yourself to succumb to pettiness and greed.
