The Peace Symbol is a Proto-Germanic Death Rune
Reality is greater than fiction. One of the most famous symbols in modern culture that signifies 'world peace' also symbolizes death.

The peace symbol (pictured below) was originally made by Gerald Holtom in his quest against nuclear proliferation. Its original function was as a nuclear disarmament symbol. Eventually the symbol got picked up by the anti-war folks of the 1960s, to be an all-encompassing “against violence” slogan. Since then, it has come to be the general hippy-style way of proclaiming a person’s love for passivism.
But there is an interesting little detail about the design that is fun to point out.
Take a good look at the inside of the peace symbol circle:
Do you see the vertical line with two branch-off lines at the bottom? Yeah, that’s actually a death rune.
Let’s make it a bit clearer. Here’s a picture of the Algiz, a Proto-Germanic symbol (Elder Futhark) that symbolizes “life“:
When a rune is inverted, it typically creates the opposite meaning of the original rune. The inverse of the Algiz, which symbolizes life, is obviously “death“.
Since the ᛉ is the life rune – Then its inverted rune, the ᛦ, is interpreted as the death rune.
As you can see here:
The designations have changed over time, but the inversions are still there.
Even the Germans in WW2 used ᛉ to symbolize life (Such as a child being born) and inscribed ᛦ on the tombstones of the deceased.
We can also notice this “change of meaning” effect with Christianity. The inverted cross was originally used to signify St Peter’s Crucifixion. St Peter felt unworthy of being crucified in the same manner as Christ, so he requested his own personal cross be put upside down. However, in modern times, the inverted cross has been used as an anti-religion symbol or an anti-Christ symbol.
Which is hilarious, because the inverted cross is actually a Christian symbol. So the people using it in a negative vein, are actually just using a Saint’s cross. It was Peter’s Crucifixion. The original meaning remains intact, whether the edgy Satanists realize it.
Similarly, the Peace Symbol is used in modern tongue to virtue signal about peace. But it was actually a Proto-Germanic death rune.
So one of the most famous symbols in modern culture that signifies ‘world peace’ utilizes an underlying symbol that was originally used to signify death.
Sometimes, reality really is more hilarious than your imagination.

The symbol are semaphores representing the letters “ND”, for Nuclear Disarmament! Omitting that piece of information seems deliberate and dishonest!
Who cares? That has no relevance to the article. I care about the symbology underlying it, not the mainstream garbage that is espoused in relation to it.
Freemasons control this planet and it was chosen specifically for this meaning. I like how you miss the fact that the upside down cross is also used by Satanists. That would be the Royal Family, The Vatican and the Illuminati.
Nonsense. You’ve been deceived by the John Birch Society and its lies: [outside link removed]
Actually, Gerald Holtom, creator of the modern day peace symbol was quoted saying this about the symbol he created,
“I drew myself: the representative of an individual in despair, with hands palm out stretched outwards and downwards in the manner of Goya’s peasant before the firing squad. I formalised the drawing into a line and put a circle round it. It was ridiculous at first and such a puny thing….”

Interesting find. Thanks for sharing.
What makes you think popular usage alters original meanings.
agliz rune symbolizes Elk. That’s what the word agliz means. The “life” and “death” meaning was made up by proto-nazi occultist Guido List based on his hallucinations. It is not grounded in reality.
List directly tied their meanings from them: elk (right-side up version) for life and yew (upside down version) for death. Elk were “living” creatures, tied directly to nature and the spiritual side of life. Yew is a ‘Taxus baccata’ which is fatally toxic to humans. How is that not grounded in reality? It seems fairly obvious the interpretations and how they make sense. Regardless of if List was a nutcase or not.
The algiz rune is up, peace symbol is down. The inverse (yew—Younger Futhark) is the one used in the peace symbol, which symbolizes death/toxicity through the Taxus baccata.
Even then, about it being ‘elk’ is still not a settled fact as you have claimed and List did not understand: “The Elder Futhark rune ᛉ is conventionally called Algiz or Elhaz, from the Common Germanic word for “elk”. There is wide agreement that this is most likely not the historical name of the rune, but in the absence of any positive evidence of what the historical name may have been, the conventional name is simply based on a reading of the rune name in the Anglo-Saxon rune poem, first suggested by Wilhelm Grimm (Über deutsche Runen, 1821), as eolh or eolug “elk”.
Thanks for this. I am reading “Hippie” by Paulo Coelho, which is based on true events, and there is a segment in the book where he states: “…they came across their first hippies-who, as a tribe conscious of the responsibility and solidarity they owed one another, always wore the famous symbol of the inverted Viking rune.” He then shows the peace symbol.
Glad you enjoyed the read.
