The Modern Witchcraft Guide to Runes: Your Complete Guide to the Divination Power of Runes

Remember that the runic alphabet predates Latin in Icelandic and Scandanavian countries. Once Christianity rolled through, many Germanic peoples abandoned their runic alphabet in favor of Latin. Ansuz is the rune of communication. It’s representative of the ancestral God Odin’s wisdom and so indicates a divine message or insight arriving. It can also mean good advice, wisdom, truth, inspiration and enthusiasm. Reversed it could point to a miscommunication, deceit, misunderstandings and manipulation.

The Death Gate Cycle involves rune magic. While both the Sartans and Patryns use rune magic, the former draw them in the air, sing them, dance them, etc, while the latter inscribe them on their own bodies for use later. Some discussion is had about the importance of fitting runes together properly but in the end, the whole thing is just window dressing for a quantum superposition-based magic system in which wit and elegance trump raw power. The Younger Futhark, also called Scandinavian Futhark, is a reduced form of the Elder Futhark, consisting of only 16 characters. The reduction correlates with phonetic changes when Proto-Norse evolved into Old Norse. They are found in Scandinavia and Viking Age settlements abroad, probably in use from the 9th century onward. They are divided into long-branch (Danish) and short-twig (Swedish and Norwegian) runes. The difference between the two versions is a matter of controversy. A general opinion is that the difference between them was functional (viz., the long-branch runes were used for documentation on stone, whereas the short-twig runes were in everyday use for private or official messages on wood). There are two main ways to cast runes. Traditionally it is said that the runes were thrown (“cast”) onto a special piece of fabric while looking up to the heavens, you then read only the runes that landed upright.

Hold the runes in your hands then drop them on a cloth or soft surface and interpret the ones face up

Remember: Negative. Things are unclear, so a time of reflection is needed to see the situation for what it truly is. There may be a liar in your life, or somebody who is completely delusional. Great spiritual forces of mystery are at work, and so you may feel pushed and pulled by these powerful energies. Misunderstandings become emotional. Great art can come from great angst. Spirits and ancestors may be influencing you. The oldest known runic inscription dates to around AD 150 and is found on a comb discovered in the bog of Vimose, Funen, Denmark. [15] The inscription reads harja; a disputed candidate for a 1st-century inscription is on the Meldorf fibula in southern Jutland. In early Germanic, a rune could also be referred to as * rūna-stabaz, a compound of * rūnō and * stabaz ('staff; letter'). It is attested in Old Norse rúna-stafr, Old English rún-stæf, and Old High German rūn-stab. [10] Other Germanic terms derived from * rūnō include * runōn ('counsellor'), * rūnjan and * ga-rūnjan ('secret, mystery'), * raunō ('trial, inquiry, experiment'), * hugi-rūnō ('secret of the mind, magical rune'), and * halja-rūnō ('witch, sorceress'; literally '[possessor of the] Hel-secret'). [11] It is also often part of personal names, including Gothic Runilo ( 𐍂𐌿𐌽𐌹𐌻𐍉), Frankish Rúnfrid, Old Norse Alfrún, Dagrún, Guðrún, Sigrún, Ǫlrún, Old English Ælfrún, and Lombardic Goderūna. [9] As depicted in the poem Hávamál in the Poetic Edda, Odin cut out his eye and hung himself from the branches of Yggdrasil until the secret of the runes revealed itself to him. On the ninth day, Odin gained the power of the runes. Modern Norse Magic

Mees, Bernard (2000). "The North Etruscan Thesis of the Origin of the Runes". Arkiv för Nordisk Filologi. 115: 33–82. A runic alphabet consisting of a mixture of Elder Futhark with Anglo-Saxon futhorc is recorded in a treatise called De Inventione Litterarum, ascribed to Hrabanus Maurus and preserved in 8th- and 9th-century manuscripts mainly from the southern part of the Carolingian Empire ( Alemannia, Bavaria). The manuscript text attributes the runes to the Marcomanni, quos nos Nordmannos vocamus, and hence traditionally, the alphabet is called "Marcomannic runes", but it has no connection with the Marcomanni, and rather is an attempt of Carolingian scholars to represent all letters of the Latin alphabets with runic equivalents. In this inscription, several runes repeat in a sentence to form an unknown meaning. Various scholars have proposed that these runes represent repeated Begriffsrunen.
