Algiz Protection Rune

Handcrafted in Sweden using traditional Swedish artisan techniques, this Algiz rune pendant is a powerful embodiment of ancient Norse protection. At its center is the Algiz rune (ᛉ), often referred to as the “Z-rune” from the Elder Futhark, the oldest form of the runic alphabet used by early Germanic tribes between the 2nd and 8th centuries.

The Algiz rune is deeply connected to themes of divine protection, higher spiritual awareness, and defense against harm. Often interpreted as a symbol of an upright figure with outstretched arms or a tree reaching toward the sky, Algiz serves as a channel between the earthly and the divine. In Norse spiritual practice, it was believed to offer a shield from negative forces while inviting guidance and strength from higher powers. Warriors, mystics, and travelers alike would invoke its protective energy in battle, ritual, or journey.

This pendant is hand-forged by a skilled Swedish blacksmith, using age-old tools and techniques that ensure each piece holds not only symbolic meaning but also the unmistakable mark of human hands and traditional craft. The inscribed rune is engraved with care, then aged and textured through natural forging methods, creating a rustic, weathered finish that reflects its ancient inspiration.

Due to the handmade process, each pendant is one of a kind—slightly varied in size, shape, and surface detail, just as runes carved in wood or stone would have been over a thousand years ago.
