The Futhark Runes are an ancient alphabet used by the Norse and other Germanic tribes, believed to carry deep mystical and symbolic meaning. Each rune represents a specific sound but also embodies concepts like protection, wisdom, or strength, serving both as a writing system and a tool for divination. In Norse mythology, Odin, the All-Father, sacrificed himself on Yggdrasil, the World Tree, to gain the knowledge of the runes, underscoring their sacred and powerful nature. The Futhark Runes were used not only to communicate but also to invoke magic and connect with the spiritual forces of the universe.
