Runes were used by the
ancient Nordic people as a
magical language. Runes, the
old Germanic
writing, are found chiseled in
rocks dating from as back as
the Neolithic period. The runic
alphabet, one of the oldest
writings known, is graphically
very simple. It consists of 24
characters. The whole
alphabet - futhark -is
organized in three groups.
According to Scandinavian
mythology, the runic alphabet
was discovered by the
supreme god Odin while he
was for nine days and nine
nights hanging head down on
Yggdrasil, the tree of the
World that supports the whole
of the Scandinavian universe.
Some people use runes by
laying them out flat face down
and laying their hand over
them and 'feeling' which one is
the right one to pick up. The
left hand is to receive ( in
right handed people).
Runes are to be kept in a
special place to keep
protected.
