See also Etymology of ye (definite article).

A letter of Latin script (capital: Þ, small: þ), borrowed from the futhark; today used only in Icelandic to represent the voiceless dental fricative, but originally used in several early Germanic scripts, including Old English where it represented the dental fricatives that are today written th (Old English did not have phonemic voicing distinctions for fricatives).

Algiz, one of the oldest runes, associated with sedge grass, and Thor, and Heimdall, and a number of other things depending on who you asked and which runic alphabet you used. Algiz had a universal meaning: protection.

2011, Ilona Andrews, Magic Slays, Penguin, →ISBN, page 73:

Hold up the stone and trace the Algiz rune in the air before you. Visualize it as glowing with white, purifying light. As you do so, growl the word Algiz.

Ein Kamerad baute einen Dachdeckerbetrieb auf und wirbt mit der bei Neonazis beliebten Lebensrune für seine Firma.

2006 September 7, Toralf Staud, “Glatzenbrot und Lebensrunen”, in Die Zeit:

Der Grund für dieses Nichtdurchdringen, Nichtaufgefaßtwerden der positiven und negativen Lebensrune, wo doch das SS-Bild sich restlos durchsetzte, ist ohne weiteres anzugeben. […] Aber wenn sie nun doch durchgedrungen und während der Hitlerzeit alleinherrschend gewesen wären, diese Lebensrunen—wäre ich um die Begründung des Faktum in Verlegenheit gewesen?
