| The Runes Continued |
| The Second Aett |
| The second Aett deals with Goddesses and the condition of life and the universe as it is now. |
 |
| HAGALAZ Means "hail" and represents the Norn Urd,who is connected with the Past. Also represents Gullveig, the Giantess who brought the lust for gold into Asgard and is a dark female power. Hagalaz is connected with all destructive natural forces.. |
| NAUTHIZ The Rune of Niflheim, realm of Fog and home of Nidtthogg. This Rune represents the Norn Skuld who is connected with the Future. Nauthiz traditionally means "Need." One of the great Runes of delay. Yet notice how it looks much like the hand drill which our Ancestors used to creat Fire. |
| ISA The Rune of Ice and of Jotunheim, realm of the Frost Giants. Indicates a hold on all activities - a freeze. Isa is the frozen Earth unwilling to open to the embrace of the Sun. |
| JERA This is the turning point of the Elder Furthark, the midpoint. It is here that we truly see the turn from creation to being. |
| PERTHO Sacred to Frigg, Mother of the Gods, this rune is one of birth and beginning. It is also a Rune of mystery. Frigg is often described as she who knows all but shares nothing. When this Rune appears in a reading, it often means that the seeker should stop seeking, for the answer is not meant to be known |
| ALGIZ The Wolrd Tree; upright it shows us the branches of Yggdrasil and reversed we see the roots. This Rune makes a powerful bind-rune. ALGIZ is a protective Rune, and in the case of possible harm, may indicate a disaster looming ahead. Look to the other Runes or this meaning. |
| SOWULO SOWULO refers to the Sun. It is a good indication of power and shows that now is a good time to take on a great undertaking. |
