Rune Meanings
The Elder Futhark is an ancient Germanic alphabet consisting of 24 runes, once carved into stone, wood, and metal. More than just letters, runes have long been associated with mythology, symbolism, and magic. Today, runes are also used for divination and personal reflection, a little like tarot cards. Each symbol carries traditional and modern associations, exploring themes of strength, change, protection, possibility, and all the twists and turns of being human.
