Warning: This is a difficult Rune to discuss.
Elhaz:
"ale-hawz" ( Elk, protection.) Looks like a hawks footprint (several of the gods use the hawk shape when traveling between worlds).
Elhaz rules the conduit between the gods and man, and the sending (downward) of holy might. It is said to represent a human reaching towards the heavens in prayer (and mutual communication, a connection with divine forces).
It is a rune of purification and warding. Its shape also denotes the protective horns of the elk (a sign of defense). It is the rune that indicates communication between ones personal valkrja (also known as the fetch or fylgia), the messenger between the gods and humans.
It is a ward of and for a person or place, and as both a shield and spear, brings anguish to enemies.
It is a divine weapon that bodes danger.
Do not seize or try to utilize…you must become the weapon.
Only then may you be capable of using it to protect and/or bring change for a positive outcome. When the gods speak, or send to us, few are ready or able to use such power. As mortals we tend toward thought. When the gods speak to you, best not think-react. However, do not barge in like a warrior. Wisdom is required to use a double-edged sword. It spells extreme risk for the ill equipped.
As a merkstave it indicates extreme danger, risk of injury.
As a person, it indicates divine forces.
I have a personal attachment to this rune. It was my day draw on 9-11. I listened to the voices. I did not question. I am here to write this.
