Step 1 of 9 · Protection and Boundaries

Algiz

Modern interpretation

Why this step

Algiz is the upraised hand, the rune of the guardian. On this site it means real safety and the instinct to shield what matters. Its reversed reading is the harder one: protection that has failed or was never there, a vulnerability exposed. The entry says that kind of warning needs a real response, not reassurance.
