Elhaz is a rune of protection and defense. This rune also embodies the concept of the Valkyrjur ( Valkries). The valkyrjur are protective life giving beings who fly by means of cloaks made of swan feathers. These beings are protectors, power givers and mode by which Odin communicates with his chosen heroes. Elhaz is often carved into spears for protection and victory. Elhaz also refers to a protected grave or enclosure dedicated to the gods. The elhaz rune is considered the āZā rune. It contains the idea of the divine twins. Embodied in the elhaz is the idea of the struggle to get to heaven. This rune binds man to the realm of the gods. The elhaz, like the Eihwaz is a path way to travel from heaven, earth, to Hel and back. Note: the Norse Hel is all snow and frozen unlike the Judeo-Christian Hell which is hot and full of molten lava.
Instead of the world tree, it is a shimmering bridge of light of three colors. In tree symbolism elhaz is the branches and the roots that curve to get to their destonation instead of the straight path of Eihwaz of the trunk.
Magical Workings

2, Mystical and religious communication with non-human sentient beings.
