Symbolism of Aegishjalmur / Helm of Awe:
The Helm of Awe, a type of rune stave,
is a magical spell of protection used by early Vikings.
According to a number of legends, this apotropaic (protective) symbol,
when worn between the eyes, was intended to confer invincibility
in the wearer or instill fear in one’s enemies.
The earliest mention of the Aegishajalmur, helm of awe is in the Eddas,
although pictorial representations only date from around medieval times.
Today, it is used as a charm of protection
and an emblem of identification by Asatru believers.
