The Elder Futhark runic alphabet
The oldest form of the runic alphabets is the Germanic Futhark, also known as the Elder Futhark, Older Futhark, or Old Futhark. Used between the 1st century to the 8th century AD. The whole rune system forms an alphabet of 24 characters.
Futhark originates from the first six rune characters
Fehu, Uruz, Thurisaz, Ansuz, Raido, Kenaz.
The runes are given a divine origin
It is said that the ancient Norse god Odin sacrificed himself to obtain runes. According to Norse mythology, Odin is the father of magic and shamanic spells, the master of inspiration. He can change his form, control the mind of enemies, prophesize and cast spells. His day is Wednesday, called in Old English Wódnesdæg (Odin's day), which is the basis of today's English Wednesday.
Odin hanged himself on the world tree (Yggdrasil), for nine days and nine nights as a self-sacrificial ritual to gain knowledge of other worlds and be able to understand the runes. During his sacrificial actions, he made incredible discovery, he had visions and received secret runic wisdom.
Meaning of Futhark runes
The word "Rune" means secret, whisper, mystery, miracle, or intention.
The runes were not only used to write texts; they were also widely used for magical purposes, such as divination, witchcraft, protective talismans, and even healing.
Actually the runes were first used as a system of divination and later made into a writing system.
In Norse mythology, there are 24 pathways between the nine worlds which are placed along the world tree. These pathways indicate the 24 runes that can also be used to unlock some of the mysteries of nine worlds and it's believed that the number 24 helps to shape and hold the world together.
