Runes have been around since 150 AD, and they are made up of alphabetic letters that the people in Germany used for their writing in Latin. The Runic writing is often used to decorate places and it was written within religious things. Norse rune words are found on old things such as monuments and other symbolic things. The Norse runes were used in rituals, and they were often considered magical.
With Norse Mythology, runes were used by the Father of the gods, Odin and he did a ritual where he hanged himself from the World Tree. He reached down and was known to slain people during war. He gave the runes their meaning and those who had relationship with him were blessed.
It is hard to find things that have rune writing on them now days and the purpose of the rune alphabet was for symbols of spell work.
Most of the rune information is form Norse and you will sometimes see things written in different cultures but when you talk about runes for divination most of them come from Norse. They have Celtic ruins that are symbolic and some of the Ogham staves were used but they were not stones.
The birth rune is one that helps you to know the path in your life and it is given by your birthdate. Notice what the runes mean in your current life, and it can depend on what you are doing. We don’t always stay on the same path that we had from birth, and this can be the Viking Birth Rune which means that you act different than the runes tell you.
The birth rune is based on the date of birth based on Wyrd and Orlog. They believed that your destiny can be changed by something that you choose. Destiny will change your life and you will have more than fate because you can control your environment and make different decisions.
When you want to know what your rune is, find which one represents you the most in your life now. Some will make their own runes and they will use different materials than others use. Some will use stones and they can be made out of crystals or even clay. Ask the spirits to help you to decide and listen to your intuition.
Runes are a lot like tarot cards and can be changed in and out. Even though the tarot goes into more depth, the journey is the same and the runes can give you advice just like the cards.
