Historically, Runes were an alphabet used by Germanic peoples for communication, with the Elder Futhark identified as the earliest and most revered runic system. In Norse mythology, runes are believed to embody the wisdom of the Nine Worlds, granted to Odin after he hung from the World Tree for nine nights. In contemporary Pagan and occult practices, runes have evolved from a historical writing system into a tool for divination. Practitioners, similar to those using tarot cards, cast or draw runes—typically inscribed on stones, wood, bone or ceramic—from a pouch and arrange them on a ritual or rune cloth to interpret their meanings in response to a specific inquiry.
