The Runes,

also known as the Runic alphabet, are a group of extinct letters used

to form the Runic language and to write some of the languages of the

Nordic Germanic languages in medieval Europe, particularly in

Scandinavia and the British Isles.
The rune

script used in Scandinavia, known as Futhark, and that used in the

British Isles, known as Futhorc, have a strong religious flavor. In

In German mythology, Odin, the father of the gods, hung himself from a

tree for nine days and nights to contemplate the mysteries of the

universe in his quest for greater wisdom. When he came down from the

world tree, he comprehended the secret of the Viking rune. This is why

the Germanic people believe that the runes were created by Odin.

There

are 24 letters of the runes, each said to have magical powers that,

when combined, can produce miracles, and are said to be the precursors

of magicians' spells. Most of these texts are carved on stone monuments,

instruments (such as horns), and are either memorials, words of love,

or words of praise to the gods, as well as some undeciphered written

narratives that scholars believe to be the various spells used by

witches.
Runestones

are full of powerful and magical history and are therefore highly

revered and used with extreme care. In Norse and other Nordic cultures,

they were believed to have powerful divinatory powers and were therefore

highly valued.

Why are Viking runes important and What are Norse runes used for? Let's explore together.
It

is an ancient Norse alphabet that can be used not only as a script, but

also for divination by inscribing these words on animal skins, pieces

of wood, stones, crystals, metals, or stones that represent the symbols

belonging to them. The runes carry the destiny of all things within the

universe. Each runic letter contains a special power and magic. The

Rurouni script was the common alphabet used by the Vikings. However,

they were not used much for communication purposes, but most of the time

they were used to calling on the gods for help. Runes were the main

communication system in the Viking Age. This type of alphabet was the

link between the Vikings and the Norse pantheon, as it was thought to

facilitate communication between tangible and intangible forces.
