RUNES: A PSYCHIC'S TOOL

The word 'rune' has its root from an ancient Anglo-Saxon word that meant 'secret' or 'mystery'; it is certainly an apt word, as even until today, they are still an enigma to the world. The use of runes date back to over 1500 years ago. They were mostly used by the East Goths, and were later adopted and found throughout England and Scandinavia.

Within the past thirty years, runes have seen unprecedented adoption and welcome throughout the world, as compared to being popular only to the wiccans and modern pagans, when it was first introduced.

RUNIC HISTORY
Rune readings are the interpretation of the arrangements of the 24 letters (runes) of the Elder Futhark alphabet. The alphabet is named after the phonetic value of the first six runes in the series. F(heu), U(ruz), TH(urisaz), A(nsuz), R(aido) and K(enaz). This layout is also known as a spread and would determine what each letter refers to. An example would be in a 'three norns' spread, the three cards would represent the past, present and the future respectively. The twenty-four runes are also broken into three groups of eight. Each group is known as an aettir, they all have an interrelation that binds them to a common theme.

THE THREE AETTIRS

1. The FIRST aettir:
   The first aett of runes represents the coming together of fire, ice, chaos and order to bring on the gift of the gods.
    
   
2. The SECOND aeetir:
   The second aett of runes represents the evolution of consciousness ranging from the basic up to maturity and more complex thought patterns. This progression does not only apply to consciousness, but it also applies to anything that is capable of making itself better and evolving towards perfection.
    
   
3. The THIRD aeetir:
   The third aett of runes represents transition. It shows the progression of humanity dating back to humanity's first days until the end of the world; at the Ragnarok,, which is also known as the Twilight of the Gods.

DIFFERENT MATERIALS, DIFFERENT MEANINGS
Each letter of the runic alphabet has a meaning, besides that, the material on which the alphabets are carved can also affect the readings. Hence, psychics have developed a code which would assist them, with different materials for different situations, in the best possible way.

The most common material used by people in rune reading would be runes made of ceramic, stone or wood. However, there are also different runic materials. Examples of some of them: --

Gold Runes -- for a reading on business, career or property
Jade Runes -- for a reading on love, friendship or relationships
Ice Runes -- for a reading on struggle, conflict or achievement
Spirit Runes -- for a reading on mysticism, spirituality or religion
Stone Runes -- for a reading on the natural world and things beyond human control.

Vikings

Remember the Vikings? The so-called violent, blonde, erratic men of long ago? I am sure we all have the same impression of them, the indomitable warriors. But did you know that they and other Germanic people were the initial people who divined the future by the symbols of the Runic Alphabet?

What is the Runic Alphabet?

The Runes, to everyone’s misconception, have always been associated with mystery and the occult, but from an intellectual’s point of view, there is nothing mysterious or occult about them. They are merely letter symbols of an ancient alphabet that originated two or three centuries before the dawning of Christianity, from the Nomadic people of Europe.

Where did the Runic Alphabet evolve from?

Ancient times saw that the use of the letters of the Runic Alphabet was associated with mysterious secret techniques entwined with magic and fortune telling. Of course if you undertake the literal meaning, the word ‘rune’ comes from and old root word meaning ‘hidden’ so is ‘mysterious’ and so is the German verb raunen, to whisper, is taken from the same source.

Brief History on Runes

Runes were used centuries ago, on the tombstones of the honoured bones of what was once a life. They were used to carve cursing inscriptions, designed to keep the tricks of the tomb robbers at bay. Craving cursing inscriptions were not the only power they possessed; they were also credited with the ability to reinstate the dead back into life.

Another ability of the Runes is to foretell what the future may have in store for people, and in his Germania, Tactus, the Roman Historian described how it was performed.

What do the Runes actually mean?

The most composite of the Runic Alphabet would have to be the ‘Elder Futhark’, which is the most commonly used version of the runic symbols in Northern Europe. As with the languages of today, there are many variations to it, in names, shapes, obscure meanings and magical uses. To avoid any confusion, one must not mix futharks. The most widespread runic alphabets used today are the Elder Futhark, The Anglo-Saxon Futhorc, and the Younger (Scandinavian) Futhark.
