2nd Aett (Hagal’s Aett)
1. Algiz is widely used for protection. True or false: Algiz belongs to Hagal's Aett.
- True Correct answer
- False
Why: Algiz is the seventh rune of Hagal's Aett, the second aett, just before Sowilo. Its place in the Elder Futhark order, not its protective meaning, is what puts it there.

Runes and Activation
3. Before you work with a rune for a stated purpose, what does this course teach you to do with it first?
- Activate it, for example with breath Correct answer
- Reverse it like a tarot card
- Assign it a fitting zodiac sign
- Translate it into the Younger Futhark
Why: The Activation course teaches that a rune is activated before use and deactivated afterward — this is the operative core of the practice. Breathing is one of the activation methods it covers.
3rd Aett (Tyr’s Aett)
4. Where does the rune Dagaz fall in the aett sequence?
- Dagaz opens Tyr's Aett as its first rune
- Dagaz is a bind rune, not part of any aett
- Dagaz belongs to Hagal's Aett, near Isa
- Dagaz belongs to Tyr's Aett, the third group of eight Correct answer
Why: Dagaz is in Tyr's Aett. In the course's order that aett runs from Tiwaz to Dagaz, so Dagaz closes the Futhark; some sources swap Dagaz and Othala at the very end. Tiwaz, not Dagaz, opens the aett.
