ALGIZ Guide

This week is time to ground our shields. Bring them down to earth. Ground yourself within them. Whether it's a physical or mundane sort of shield (like security cameras, self-defense practices, or *setting boundaries*) or something more mystical (crystal grids, wards, enchanted jewelry, etc.). Make sure you practice grounding while your shields are up and that you know how to put shields up when you're knocked back on the ground by something or someone. It's important to protect your peace this week.

Not to hawk someone else's product, but if you need some ideas and have access to a copy, I highly recommend reading Blackthorn's Protection Magic. Amy covers both mundane and magical means of self-defense, so it's a wonderfully helpful guide. (I am very aware that putting this here sounds Capitalist™️ as all hell, but it is a genuinely helpful book that feels appropriate to mention here.)

Hávamál, Stanza 157:

An eleventh I know, if needs I must lead

To the fight my long-loved friends;

I sing in the shields, and in strength they go

Whole to the field of fight,

Whole from the field of fight,

And whole they come thence home

Blessed Equinox, wanderer.

My stick I got from some winterberries at a store today reminded me of the rune Algiz, meaning life. I felt like I needed to keep it.

Algiz is a powerful protection rune an symbolizes a tree. Some stones that are associated with Algiz are Amethyst, Yellow Jasper, Emerald, Obsidian, Smokey Quartz , and Labradorite.

Rune Meditation - Algiz

The first things I saw were a moose and a deer with huge antlers. Both were bracing themselves with their antlers pointed out. (It reminded me of the bull in my uruz meditation.) Bracing oneself was the big takeaway. Building up shields and protections to allow for general stillness, as opposed to the active fighting protection of eihwaz. I saw a variety of shield visuals: the antlers, Captain America's shield, an energetic bubble, a Viking shield wall (wrapped around in a circle around something), energetic barriers set with stones and grids (functioning like a fence), an adult shielding a child with their body. The general idea was to let the attacker tire themselves out because they just can't penetrate the shield.

I also saw a visual of some people running and hiding in the woods. (It reminded me of the scene in The Lord of the Rings when the hobbits are hiding from the ring wraiths under a tree.) It was a suggestion to run and hide in nature or existing structures when you can't find, create, or maintain your own shield. Sending the enemy on the run to search for you tires them out, too.

Another important point was that the idea is to prevent loss or injury. When what's being protected can't afford to be lost or injured, don't fight to defend it (like eihwaz) - if it's on the battlefield it is already too at risk. The protection and shielding of algiz is to keep something fully and completely safe. Unscathed. Nothing gets in.
