RUNES         Runes are an alphabetic script used by the peoples of Northern Europe from the first century c.e.         until well into the Middle Ages. In addition to their use as a written alphabet, the runes also served         as a system of symbols used for magic and divination.         Runes fell into disuse as the Roman alphabets became the preferred script of most of Europe, but their         forms and meanings were preserved in inscriptions and manuscripts.         Today, runes have been rediscovered as a symbolic system and have gained immense popularity as a         means of divination. Runes are much more than a curious alternative to tarot cards for telling fortunes.         They provide a key to understanding the lives and beliefs of the ancient people who created them,         and have much to teach us about a way of life that was perhaps more inimately connected to the         natural world, and to the realm of spirit, than our own.
