12: OTHER <strong>MAGIC</strong>AL SYMBOLS<br />

Along with the runes, the Teutonic people used a rich array of other symbols which were mighty<br />

emblems of both religion and magic. Most of these are older than the runes, having been used during the<br />

Bronze Age (in Scandinavia, roughly 160OA50 B.C.E.), but their use continued through the runic period.<br />

AEGISHJALMAR<br />

(Helm of Terror)<br />

This symbol appears carved beside the figures of<br />

warriors; a more complex form is still used in<br />

Icelandic magic. It is worn or traced between the<br />

brows to cause terror to your foes [1]. The dragon<br />

Fafnir wore it while guarding his hoard. [2]<br />

THE SUNWHEEL<br />

The sun-wheel is one of the oldest symbols of<br />

Northern Europe. It represents the power of the sun<br />

as an ordering force, the sun in its daily wagonround<br />

through the sky (raidho). Also appears as<br />

solar cross.
