The Elder Futhark runes are split into three aettir. Each is a subset of the runes that is associated with a different god.

The Algiz rune belongs to the aettir associated with the god Heimdall, a son of Odin who is the guardian of the gods' stronghold, Asgard. Algiz is a sign of protection, representing the urge to protect others and is a defence against evil as well as a connection to the gods.

This Algiz runic pendant is simple yet elegant. It hangs on a chain which fastens with a metal clasp and can be worn tighter or looser thanks to having a length of hoops onto which you can close the clasp.
