Remember: Negative. Past cycles are repeating themselves. However, pay attention to your intuition. Your dreams may have special messages for you during this time. There may be much secrecy and mystery going on. The moon can be a motherly, nurturing influence who gives advice that simply must be followed. This rune is my favorite. The all-seeing eye. It represents seeing things unseen, also seeing the beauty in things others don’t. Can also be a warning of the evil eye or someone watching you. Or perhaps a reminder to open your eyes to a situation you’ve been blindly ignoring. How to Make Your Own Witches Runes Also called “The Witches Alphabet”, this script is used today by Pagans, Witches and Wiccans to write spells and other texts (like talismans).

Uruz means “wild ox” and like the intensity of a bull, it represents determination, courage, will, vitality, primal power, manifestation, and endurance. Symbols carry much power. We use them to communicate with others, to warn, direct, and convey emotion. Among many other things. In the magical world, symbols are that much more powerful because they are also believed to induce change in the spiritual. And, in my opinion, runes are the best to use for almost any purpose. Here we provide you with 10 potent protection runes that will ward off negative energy, enemies, and illness. First, What Are Runes?The script evolved over the centuries, but from the Elder Futhark to the Medieval Futhark in 13th century, the style remained essentially the same. Most of the runic letters are made from a vertical line that have other lines or curves attached to them. Thurisaz has a few different translations. In the Old Norse, it translates to “giant.” But, in the Old English, it translates to mean “thorn.” In divination, it’s indicative of an intense change or, sometimes, danger. It represents a powerful, disruptive force that shakes things up, similar to the lightning that Thor controls with the Mjolnir. One of my favorite witchcraft symbols is called the Vegvesir. Technically it’s not a witchcraft symbol but a religious Icelandic symbol that’s also called the Viking Compass. The symbol is particularly used for “finding one’s way” in the dark or in stormy conditions. While you could take this literally, as the Vikings were seafaring people, you could also use this symbol’s energy to help guide you in your everyday life. Even through treacherous waters, so to speak. 15. The Key Vet du, hur du rista skall? Vet du, hur du reda skall? Vet du, hur du färga skall? Vet du, hur du fresta skall? Vet du, hur du bedja skall? Vet du, hur du blota skall? Vet du, hur du sända skall? Vet du, hur du slopa skall? Inguz stands for the god Ing. It symbolizes fertility, sexuality, intensity, and the door leading home. It can help with emotional renewal or spiritual healing work. Also, it could represent the buried seed that is being nurtured before it can sprout.

Algiz symbolizes the “elk” but in the sense of protection. It’s a rune that reminds you to stand your ground or that you might need to do so. It could also come up when you need some extra help from the gods when facing a challenge. What is the best day to cast my spell? Mondays are for healing, wisdom and intuition. Tuesdays for strength, courage and victory. Wednesdays are for communication, business and change… Nine mighty songs I learned from the great son of Bale-thorn, Bestla’s sire; I drank a measure of the wondrous Mead, with the Soulstirrer’s drops I was showered.” Kenaz means “torch.” It essentially means to illuminate something or to take the first step to manifest something into existence. Within the self, it’s the inner light or sense of purpose that drives one forward. When we are without it, we feel like we are fumbling through the darkness.The Vikings used Younger Futhark, which has 16 letters. There are two writing variations of Younger Futhark style, the long branch and the short twig. The long branch style is attributed to Danish, while the short twig is connected to the Swedes and the Norse. The Vikings used both. Gebo is literally an X but when looked at deeper is the union between two lines…or in a personal view the union between two people. They are separate but meet in the middle and form one symbol together. Just like a partnership or a marriage. I also like the fact that the X symbol is frequently used as a warning sign in the physical world…therefore is just as effective in the spiritual world to warn negativity away from a special union. How to Use Protection Runes The Wiccan God and Goddess are invoked too, along with other realms of duality: Land and Sea, Sun and Moon. Jotna-villur (This word means the bewilderments, the shadowy enchantments of the Jotnar and Etins (giants).

Diverse people are brought together in one union and so squabbling is natural. People who once had diverging views are now attempting reconciliation, but there may be spite or jaded attitudes all around. There is a raw, magnetic attraction that draws people together. One of my favorite divination methods and one that I recommend to beginners is the witches runes. There are a couple different kinds of runes, and sometimes the witches runes get confused with the Elder futhark. But they are MUCH different from one another.

Wigington, Patti (April 27, 2019). "Magical Alphabets". Learn Religion . Retrieved March 6, 2023. One of the most popular magical languages in use today is the Theban Alphabet. ... In general, although this alphabet is popular among Wiccan and NeoWiccan paths, it's not typically used by non-Wiccan Pagans. Theban's shapes, though not their phonetic values, bear some stylistic resemblance to a few characters from the Avestan ( ), Etruscan ( ), Georgian (Mkhedruli) ( ), and Phoenician ( ) alphabets, and the Ge'ez script ( ሀጣ) used to write Ethiopian-regional languages — all of those being also unicase. The Coptic alphabet, while no longer unicase, used to be and has characters such as — from the Demotic script's — both with a history of being used in Thebes, Egypt. Cf. the astrological symbols ♍︎ (Virgo) and ♏︎ (Scorpio). The word “rune” comes from an Old Norse word “rūn”, which means “hidden, secret, whisper, mystery, magic sign”. In Old Irish Gaelic, the word rún means “mystery, secret, “intention, affectionate love.” Similarly in Welsh and Old English, the word rhin and rūn respectively means “mystery, secret, secret writing”.

We already talked about Hecate’s wheel, now we’ll keep rolling with the Wheel of the Year (see what I did there? Rolling?) The Wheel of the year is technically a Wiccan invention and is a symbol that represents the 8 major sabbats that occur annually including: Yule, Imbolc, Ostara, Beltane, Litha, Lughnasadh, Mabon, and Samhain. It’s an eight-spoked wheel or circle with 8 crossing lines. Ways to Use Witchcraft Symbols The main ingredient here are egg shells, which represent the protective layer, as a shield around the unborn life that resides in the egg.The true meaning and depth of the runes is all but lost. Many books have been written about runes but I haven’t seen much written about the subject outside of Divination. Most people approach the runes and assume them to be just a divination tool or a writing system. In my opinion, this is a huge misconception. Sure, you can use runes as a divination tool or writing method – I use them in that way too, but divination is not my main focus when working with the runes. There lies a more powerful aspect to them. When pathworking with the runes, you can call e.g. Loki, Angrboða, Gullveig, Mimir, Óðinn, or Freyja to assist and guide you. Freyja is known to be the archetype of Völva and the First Shaman. She taught the runes to Óðinn.
