☼Aegishjalmur – Ancestral and Spiritual Rune☼ Tie

The Helm of Awe (Old Norse Ægishjálmr, pronounced “EYE-gis-hiowlm-er”) is one of the most mysterious and powerful symbols in Norse mythology. the name Aegishjalmr is a compound word comprised of two root words, ‘Aegis’ and ‘Hjalmr’. In Old Norse, Aegis meant ‘shield’ and Hjalmr meant ‘helm’ If one wears the Ægishjalmur in accordance with its ancient meaning, it is literally being used to create a sense of awe, either internally or externally (whether it is visible to others or not). the Ægishjalmur indicates that you are pure and true to our ancestral Æsir spirituality. It is also recognised as a positive symbol. Historically this is due to its attested ability to improve the bearers combat survival chances by distracting opponents. In everyday life the Ægishjalmur is used to catch peoples attention, as the symbol often attracts enquiries about what it is if you wear it openly. You will often find unexpected friendliness from individuals who then declare they are also adherents of Asatro or are interested Nordic mythology. Tags Viking rune
