To banish evil spirits from your presence, draw the Eolh rune (z) in red ink on each palm so that when you extend your hand with your palm out and your fingers up, the rune is upright. Whenever you sense an evil presence, clap your hands together three times so that your palms tingle, and hold out your hands in the direction of the malicious entity, saying:
Eagle's claws are strong,
Dragon's teeth are long;
Arnhofdhi guards the way,
Sigfadhir wins the day.
Arnhofdhi means "eagle-headed," and Sigfadhir means "father of victory." Both are names of the god Odin, lord of the runes and god of magic. |
