	Runic alphabet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Runic alphabets are a set of related alphabets using letters known as runes, formerly used to write Germanic languages, mainly in Scandinavia and the British Isles.
		The most likely candidates for the origins of runic scripts are the 5th to 1st century BC Northern Italic alphabets, Lepontic, Rhaetic and Venetic, all closely related to each other and themselves descended from the Old Italic alphabet.
		Later runic finds are mainly monuments (rune stones) and often contain solemn inscriptions about people who died or performed great deeds.

		Runic Swedish developed from Old Scandinavian, which was a common Germanic language spoken by all ancient Scandinavians.
		Because of its angular letter forms, however, and because early runic inscriptions were written from right to left like the earliest alphabets, runic writing seems to belong to a more ancient system.
		A likely theory is that the runic alphabet was developed by the Goths, a Germanic people, from the Etruscan alphabet of northern Italy and was perhaps also influenced by the Latin alphabet in the 1st or 2nd century BC.

		By "reverse engineering" from the cultural artifacts of the runes and their residual divinatory meanings, Steffen presents a system of shamanic symbols which meshes well with the cosmologies of modern physics.
		Runic States is not just a fascinating new look at the Elder Futhark, it is also a full system of meditative and divinatory practice using the runes as archetypal symbols, including graphic mandalas for each rune and their various correspondences.
		Runic States finds a middle ground, while being based firmly on scholarly research in the field, it takes the reader through carefully structured "thought experiments" to see what sort of realities might lie behind the runes.

		The runic alphabet, used by early Norse peoples including the Vikings, has no clear origins; in fact, the word "rune" derives from the Gothic word runa, meaning "mystery." The runic alphabet is called a "futhark", and gains its name, like the word "alpha-bet," from the first few symbols in the series.
		Runes had no lowercase, and could be written in any direction, from left to right or right to left.
		Runic alphabets first appeared among German tribes in central and Eastern Europe.

	1. The Runic Mysteries
		We see the word for runic character in Runic Old Norse as "runar," Old Icelandic and Faroese as "run," Swedish as "runa," Danish and Norwegian as "runa" and in Middle High German and Anglo-Saxon as "run." This is the same word seen earlier as also meaning mystery.
		The most solid evidence for the use of runic characters in divination goes back to a passage from Tacitus, who comments on divinatory practices of the Germans.
		This is generally taken by many to be saying that Odin discovered the runic script, but it seems more likely to be referring to the verses of mystery, or as we should say, charms or spells.
