Algiz Pin L060

Often referred to as "Elhaz" or "Eolh," the Algiz rune is a symbol in runic alphabets, particularly the Elder Futhark, used by Germanic tribes and in Norse mythology. It resembles the letter 'Z' or an upside-down trident with three upward branches, representing the elk or the antlers of the elk, a symbol of protection and defense. Algiz is associated with the divine and often seen as a symbol of divine protection, guidance, and connection to higher spiritual realms. It signifies the presence of higher powers or gods, serving as a ward against harm and a channel for accessing divine wisdom. In divination and magic, Algiz is used to invoke protective energies, strengthen one's resolve, and seek guidance from the spiritual realm. It is a potent rune representing a shield against adversity and a pathway to spiritual insight, making it a revered symbol in runic traditions and Norse spirituality.

Craft & construction

Built to stay put. Our pins have two posts and clutches which hold it flat and ensure a spin-free application wherever you display it. It solves a common pin complaint. The 1/4-inch steel tacks are long enough to pass through most fabrics, about 1/4 inch, yet short enough to sit flush. And each clutch seats into a small groove on the post with a firm, satisfying click — haptic feedback that tells you it's locked, and a detail cheaper pins skip.

Certified American pewter. The antiqued finish is completely safe to touch — and the craft behind it has been refined over three decades. Each batch of pewter that arrives at our shop in Port Gamble, WA from an American supplier comes with a lab test showing the material is lead free.

Ready to give. Every item arrives attached to a backing card and sealed in plastic — clean, protected, and presentable as a gift the moment it arrives.
