Witchcraft symbols have been used throughout history to represent and communicate various aspects of witchcraft. These symbols often hold deep meaning and are significant to those who practice witchcraft. One such set of symbols in witchcraft is the runic symbols. Runic symbols are a form of ancient writing that was used by various Germanic peoples, including the Vikings. These symbols are often inscribed on objects like stones or wood and were used for divination, protection, and other magical purposes. One popular runic symbol in witchcraft is the Algiz rune, which is represented by a straight vertical line with two diagonal lines branching off.
