ᚂ Luis — rowan / nerves

Protection and the nervous system

Luis is the rowan letter and is commonly given protective force in modern neo-pagan practice, with the nerves as its body correspondence. It is placed on the upper neural axis as a symbolic projection; the manuscript lists do not establish this organ assignment.
