Runes were used by ancient Germanic tribes, particularly the Norse, for writing, magical purposes, and divination. The Futhark alphabet, named after the first six letters, was used across Scandinavia from around the 2nd century. Runes were often carved into stone, wood, or metal, and they were believed to have mystical properties. They were integral to Norse culture and often associated with gods, magic, and fate. Today, runes are still used in divination practices, allowing users to seek guidance or insight from the ancient symbols.
