The Mythology of  Algiz

Valkyries are a group of female goddesses who would collect fallen warriors and bring them up to Valhalla. They would decide which one of the warriors that would live or die on the battlefields. To me, Algiz is a symbol of Guardian Angels and a person’s Spirit guides. This rune often shows up when you can gain a higher perspective. See something from a new angle. Ask for guidance and feel how you are being pulled according to the Divine order operating in your life.
