In Norse mythology, runes were believed to hold strong mystical powers and were often used for various purposes, including protection. The Vikings used runes for their magical qualities, and through inscribing them on objects or wearing them as talismans, they believed they could ward off evil spirits and ensure their safety. The runic alphabet, known as the Elder Futhark, consisted of 24 characters. Each rune had a specific meaning and associated magical properties. In terms of protection, certain runes were considered particularly powerful. One such rune was Algiz, which symbolized protection and defense.

The protection rune – The splayed hand of Algiz is warding off adverse force and combines with Sowlo the lifeforce, enabling the wearer to generate inner strength.
The use of runes is ancient, probably arising almost simultaneously with the use of runes as an alphabet. Essentially, a bind rune is a symbol composed of two or more runes overlaid, one on top of another, to form a single character.

Summary ToggleAnother powerful protective rune was Thurisaz, which represented the might of Thor, the Norse god of thunder and protection. Thurisaz was associated with the element of fire and had a strong defensive energy. It was believed to ward off enemies and provide a barrier of protection. Tiwaz, the rune of Tyr, the Norse god of law and heroic glory, was also thought to offer protection. Tiwaz symbolized justice, honor, and the courage to face challenges. By invoking the power of Tiwaz, Vikings believed they could overcome obstacles and protect themselves from harm. To harness the protective qualities of these runes, Vikings would often inscribe them on weapons, shields, and personal items. They might also carve them into amulets or wear them as pendants for constant protection. The act of inscribing or wearing the runes was believed to activate their magical properties and create a shield of protection around the individual. In addition to inscribed objects, Vikings would often perform rituals or incantations to invoke the power of the runes for protection. These rituals could involve chanting specific runic words or symbolically drawing the runes in certain patterns. By engaging in these rituals, Vikings believed they could strengthen their connection to the runes and enhance their protective effects. While the belief in runic protection may seem superstitious to modern society, the power and significance of runes in Viking culture cannot be understated. To the Vikings, runes were a tangible representation of the mystical and divine forces that governed their lives. By invoking the power of these ancient symbols, they sought to safeguard themselves and ensure their well-being in a harsh and unpredictable world..
