Description
Spear of Odin: Related to Thor’s Hammer, the Spear never misses its mark and always returns to Odin’s hand. On the trunk of this cosmic tree is the ‘GAR’ rune, seen only in the Anglo-Saxon runic alphabet. Gar is the last rune and means ‘Spear.’ More accurately, it refers to “Gungnir,” Odin’s Magical Spear; a dwarven magical weapon given to Odin by Loki. Gungnir was also considered to be the Cosmic Pillar, an axis linking the various realms of the universe: The heavens and the underworld. Its magical meaning is the stable reference point, which is at once all around, internal, external, micro and macrocosmic; the beginning and the end of all things. Gar was used as a magical word for bringing magic into being, such as the phrases ‘ka!’ and ‘abracadabra.’
