People are looking for a better way to live and people are looking towards oracles for answers and guidance to their troubles. This is where the runes come into play. Runes come from the Nordic area where the ancient Vikings once lived, worked, and fought. Though they were relatively savage in their outings, the Vikings were people in touch with Earth and the many forces that coexisted with them. They have a whole lore that includes many popular god figures such as Thor, the son of Odin. Thor carried a mighty hammer and many of us know him from comic books. The father of Thor, Odin, was the creator of the Runes and is the most important holy figure of the Viking people. Odin hung upside down from a tree limb for a chance of higher knowledge and right before he came down from the tree limb, he was bestowed with the new system called the Runes. These symbols were used for writing and magic by the high priests. Shown below are the 25 runes most used today and their brief meanings. Raido Likely an important rune for the Vikings, Raido signified a long journey. Kenaz Kenaz represents a torch or some other source of light. Gebo Gebo was used to denote a sacrifice to the gods. Wunjo Wunjo can translate as comfort, joy, or glory. Hagalaz Hagalaz is the rune for hail, either in terms of the weather, or hailing projectiles in battle. Nauthiz Nauthiz means need or necessity. Isa Isa means ice. Jera Jera translates as year or harvest. Eithwaz Eithwaz is the rune for yew, a sacred tree used to make rune wands. Perth The meaning and/or translation of Perth remains unknown. Algiz Algiz denoted defence, protection, or self-preservation. Sowilo Sowilo represented the sun, an important element in pagan worship. Tiwaz The rune of the war god Tyr, Tiwaz was often carved on weaponry. Berkano Berkano was associated with the birch tree, with Idun, goddess of spring, and with fertility. Ehwaz Ehwaz is the rune for horse. Mannaz Mannaz means man or mankind Laguz Laguz is associated with water. Ingwaz Scholars believe Ingwaz can refer either to the Danish hero Ing or to the Danes in general. Dagaz Dagaz is the rune for day or daylight. Othila Othila means inheritance or the passing on of property or knowledge. It can also refer to an ancestral home or to one's native land. Uruz Uruz was associated with the now-extinct wild ox known as aurochs. The rune also represents strength, speed, and good health. Thurisaz Thurisaz refers to the giants of Norse mythology. Ansuz Ansuz could be used to refer to any deity, but it was most often associated with Odin, the Viking equivalent of Zeus. Fehu Fehu can mean cattle, gold, or wealth in general. The Unknowable Rune of no meaning. Some dispute the existence of this as a true rune. The meaning is that of the non-knowable nature.
