Red Ansuz-Algiz bind rune. This bindrune is symbolic of the devotee's bond with Odin: the blending of the human and the divine.

 

Each rune is tripled, making a six armed shape like the "snowflake" form of the Haglaz rune (the mother of all rune-shapes)

 

Animated bindrune. Not for the seizure-prone!

An experiment in psychadelic bindrunes.

   Although it is sadly true that some white supremacists use the Algiz rune as a symbol, they misuse it in the same way Klan members misuse the Christian cross. The Rune Algiz has no historic connotations of racism, nor do mainstream Heathens use it in such a way.
   Algiz is the rune of protection, of communion with the Gods, of the Valkyrie, the defensive sword, the cutting blades of eel grass, an elk's antlers, and many
other complex ideas. The Ansuz rune means "a God"; it is widely thought that this God is Odin. Ansuz means divine inspiration, galdr (magical song), communication, intellect, and spirit.
   As a triple bindrune, Ansuz Algiz expresses the complex bond of Allfather and Valkyrie; or of Odin and His Gythja (Priestess), or other devotee. It vibrates with the energy of the union of devotee and divinity.
