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.
