Ask six rune experts' Where did the runes originate? And you will probably get six different answers. There are different versions of runes for each culture and era they seemed to come from. Someone told me they came from the Vikings Another said they were from the Druids, but another said they came from foreign, each person was serious and thought they were the origins of the runes correctly, how everyone has a different answer to their About The answer seems to be "time", most people years have been so many stories on the runes that nobody knows the true origin of them. Rune The very name "is a word derived from the word" Gothic "Runa "which means" mystery ".

One of the oldest and the first recorded uses of runes came from German tribes in central and eastern Europe, these early uses of runes show they are not even supposed to be a language for everyday speech, but were used as a system symbolic alphabet. Each rune letter or form has its own sound and meaning, in fact each rune represented a deity or what we call God, he gave him his special power. The old people believed that by carving runes into their personal property or other elements, God or the deity in this rune would protect the item, they even believed that the sword can be more powerful use in battle by carving runes into it.

There are at least six different types of runes or rune alphabets that people use or paddling today and every runic alphabet is supposedly the correct set to use, if you ask the person who uses them. Runes have no more special meaning as symbols, drawings or seals do, unless you have a belief that they are magical and they are nothing more than draw a circle or a square and giving them a meaning particular. For example, if I were in hundreds of years, I could of looked at the sun in the sky and then drawn or carved a circle on a stone or a piece of wood, for me it meant the power of the powerful circle of light Fire in the sky to another person who discovered years later, my circle engraved in stone, they may think that the circle is a wheel, eyes, moon, or just a simple circle. Each person uses runes for their own needs and each person seems to give them their own interpretations.

In ancient Europe a lot of adults seemed wooden sculptures, in fact it was a popular craft handed down from family member to another. An alphabet is necessary and could be easily scratched or etched into the wood used by the carvers, runes were perfect for this because they consist mainly of straight lines connected together. Most uses of runes were nothing more than markers symbolizing trademarks, or ownership of an item. Later they were modified and other symbols were added as the world's population has increased and the required language skills more and runic symbols meanings.

Runes were and are written in different ways by different people, some are written from left to right, others are written from right to left or top to bottom, which again shows you that runes hold different meanings to different people.

Nowadays many people think that runes were used for magic or such things as divination and clairvoyance, again it depends on the person who reads such meanings into the runes. Years back when the Christian faith has been adopted by Europe, the use of runes fell and they were replaced by more modern Roman / Latin alphabet, in fact, a letter of the alphabet even contain a symbol rune in the early part of his language.

Years later as Christianity spread, use of runes dropped, Church leaders did not understand their meanings and symbols, so they considered them evil or the devil, this thinking lasted even today, and it is the foundation of modern thinking occultists, druids and adherents that runes are magical and we can be.
