Runes and Bin-Runes A/Z
Runes and Bin Runes
Runes the ancient and mystical alphabet half hieroglyphs and half magical symbols. The runic "elder futhark" alphabet which is a composite of the runic symbols is the runes system most commonly used in northern Europe. The names of the runes of the elder futhark are thought to originate from what linguists call "proto-Germanic", which is of an early Indo European mix.
There are many versions of the runic alphabets. Each has variations in names, shapes, esoteric meanings and magical uses. One should not mix futharks, or the intent or meaning becomes confused. The Elder Futhark, the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc, and the Younger (or Scandinavian) Futhark are the most frequently seen versions of the runic alphabets in use today.
The runes are broken into three sections or groups of eight, called aett (aettir, plural). This helps one to remember their order, and also has significance in the magical uses of runes.
First the rune name is given, then its phonetic value, its symbolic image, and finally the esoteric meaning used in divination. Rune users disagree on whether or not to place a different meaning on a rune that falls in an inverted or reversed position. Some runes look the same upside down and right side up. These cannot be "reversed". Nevertheless, any of the runes may appear as a "merkstave" (which literally means "dark stick" and implies a "dark" meaning), depending on how the runes are cast. Note that a "reversed" or "merkstave" meaning is not the opposite of its primary meaning, but usually has a more negative connotation. Runes Stones Books Secret of the Runes
