RUNE OF THE WEEK Rune: Algiz Pronounced: All-yeez/al-gis Translation: Elk Upright: divine might, protection, sacred, defense, a shield, warding, a guardian, connection to the gods, spiritual awakening, maintaining success Merkstave: Hidden danger, a warning, loss of spiritual connection, blockage, going backwards, the Underworld, the unconscious mind Description: As with all the runes, Algiz is multi-faceted. Today, I'll touch on two key aspects in divination. Primarily, you will see this rune discussed in its fuction as a powerful protection rune. In a reading, the appearance of this rune may indicate a need to protect yourself, or that you are feeling the need to shield yourself or others. It does not *necessarily* indicate a definitive danger, but may relate more to a perceived lack of safety or desire to seek protection. It may also indicate that you are *being* protected or guarded - which brings us to our next aspect. Connection to the Gods. This rune can also represent the strength of the divine, whether that suggests you are being guided and protected *by* the divine, or otherwise seeking a greater connection or guidance to the gods (a spiritual awakening or developing sensitivity). Upright, Algiz may be a positive sign of success or progress here. Merkstave, this rune may take on a relatively literally inversion of the upright meanings. A warning, a danger just out of sight, a reversal of progress, a feeling of being blocked on your spiritual path. As always, look to the sounding runes for greater context. Rune Poem (Anglo-Saxon): The Elk-sedge usually lives in the fen, growing in the water. It wounds severely, staining with blood any man who makes a grab at it.
