📜 History and Origin

Norse runes emerged in ancient Germanic and Scandinavian cultures around the 2nd century AD. This writing system, known as Elder Futhark, was carved into stones, weapons, and tools, serving both practical and ceremonial functions

According to mythology, Odin, the god of wisdom, gained knowledge of the runes through an extreme sacrifice, hanging himself from the World Tree, Yggdrasil, for nine days and nights. This narrative highlights the sacred character of the runes: they are not mere letters, but bridges between the earthly world and spiritual forces
