The Magic of Runes

For centuries, the many people have used runes as a form of communication with the spirit world. Runes are a form of alphabet that were first used by Germanic and Nordic tribes. Each rune has its own meaning and can be used to create protections or to send messages.

The Elder Futhark consists of 25 runes that represent the different aspects of life.  Including is one blank rune called Odin’s Rune and represents the mysteries of life.
