		Runes are the alphabet of the ancient northern European tribes, the northern Celts, the Vikings, and ancient Germans.
		Runes came into usage at least two centuries before the common era, and may have evolved after contact with the "civilized" people of the Mediteranean.
		Runes are therefore said to contain the ability to unlock, balance, and control characteristics within us which can be harnessed or augmented to achieve our objectives.

	Love Rune
		The rune has a private meaning meant for the specified female reader, but it also conveys a public valence, as in a generalized way the message extends to the maiden's community of women (line 198) and to the friars who compiled and read books such as Jesus College MS 29.
