Algiz controls emotions and the subconscious. An adept can use Algiz to totally control another person's behaviour, while lesser mages can sway opinions or implant single suggestions. 

Sedge is a mighty plant. It creates new land from water, and peat forms where sedge grows. When peat burns, the sedge remains, protecting itself from the flames with the very water it uses to produce the peat fire.

Depicting the sedge plant, Algiz has power over boundaries between disparate systems. Land to water, peat to flame, mortal to mystical. Algiz can be used to shift or affect existing boundaries.

Algiz also resembles and depicts the elk and other horned animals. It can be used for active defenses, which will usually feature some form of boundary.

''Divination:'' Control of emotions is important. Intellect must triumph over emotion for success and glory. New challenges and opportunities are typical of Algiz, and with them may come dire influences or injustices.

Algiz serves as a mirror for the spiritual warrior, whose battle is with the self. Timely correct action and proper conduct is the only true protection. If pain is experienced it must be observed and absorbed, not avoided.

Reversed, Algiz warns of avoidable ill health and the need for self-responsibility. Beware of new associations who may have hidden motives. Practice temperance and courtesy.
