Hagalaz “haw-gaw-laws”
Hail. Disruption, uncontrolled destiny or forces which effect us. “h”
Magical uses: Completeness. Bringing into being. Warding. Protection.
Hail is the whitest of grains — it comes from high in heaven — showers of wind hurl it — and then it turns to water
ᚾ
ᚾ
Naudhiz “now-these”
Need. Distress, testing, suffering. Friction creates fire. “n”
Magical uses: Overcoming fate and stress. Developing magical will. Sudden inspiration and inner might.
Need is constricting on the chest — although to the children of men it often becomes — a help and salvation nevertheless — if they heed it in time
ᛁ
ᛁ
Isa “ee-saw”
Ice. Stuck, blocked, slowed growth (can be beneficial). “i, ee as in least”
Magical uses: Strengthen concentration and will. Binding (as in constraint or constriction). To halt movement.
Ice is very cold — and exceedingly slippery — it glistens clear as glass — very much like gems — a floor made of frost — is fair to see

Jera “yare-awe”
Harvest. Season cycles, the flow of life-death-rebirth. Fruition and completion. “j, y as in year”
Magical uses: Patience and natural harmony. Spiritual understanding. Creative planning. Interactions with nature and natural time cycles.
Harvest is the hope of men — when god lets — holy king of heaven — the earth gives — her bright fruits — to the noble ones and the needy

Eihwaz “eye-wawz”
Yew tree. New opportunities, motivation, and willpower. Between the worlds, Yggdrasil. “æ”
Magical uses: Death. Initiation. Wisdom from past lives. To increase and store power. Spirit communication.
Yew is on the outside — a rough tree — and hard, firm in the earth — keeper of the fire — supported by roots — (it is a) joy on the estate
ᛈ
ᛈ
Perthro “pear-throw”
Dice. Divination. That which is becoming or something hidden. Playing your cards, using what fate gives you. “p”
Magical uses: Divination. Perception of fate. To manifest magical intent.
(Lot box) is always — play and laughter — among bold men — where the warriors sit — in the beer hall — happily together

Elhaz “ale-hawz” or “all-geese”
Elk. Protection. Spiritual connection. “zz”
Magical uses: Protection. Communication and connection with guardian spirit. Spiritual cleansing. Strengthening magical power. Traveling through other worlds or astral travel.
Elk’s sedge (kenning for sword) has its home — most often in the fen — it waxes in the water — and grimly wounds — and reddens (burns) with blood — any man (bairn) — who, in any way — tries to grasp it
ᛊ
ᛊ
Sowilo “soe-wee-low”
Sun. The higher self. Strength, victory, and triumph. “s”
Magical uses: Strengthen magical and spiritual will. Guardianship and guidance. Personal triumph.
Sun is by sea men — always hoped for — when they fare far away — over the fishes’ bath (sea) — until the brine stallion (ship) — they bring to land
