THE RUNES



During the past year, I have taken up the hobby of reading "The Runes". It is part of my eternal quest for knowledge and has helped my mind and soul journey into the mystic. Below you will find the history, as well as pictures and descriptions of a few of the Runes. Maybe you will find this practice as fascinating as I do.


History Of The Runes

There is a legend that says the Norse god Odin was the giver of the Runes. Odin means "wind" or "spirit", and it is said that Odin had the power to raise the dead, divine the future, fly through the sky on his eight-legged horse and change his shape at will. Mythology tells us that Odin gained his immense wisdom and knowledge of the Runes by a grisly act of self-sacrifice: he hung for nine days and nights impaled on the "Tree of the World" by his own spear and at the end of this time he achieved the vision of the magical runic alphabet. The Runes consist of 24 stones each inscribed with a symbol or glyph, and a 25th stone with no markings. Early Runes were made from sea-smoothed pebbles or pieces of wood cut from small branches. The Runes have always been associated with wisdom and self-knowledge. They can be used to put you in touch with your inner self as well as solving practical, everyday problems.
