Algiz, Tiwaz, Uruz, these are just some of the names associated with runes of Elder Futhark, the oldest and best-known runic alphabet. But what exactly are these symbols? And where they came from?

Well, first of all they date back to Norse time and the English word "rune" comes from "runa", which means "secret", "whisper" or "mystery". We could call them letters, but, unlike today, they were not only used for writing, since they had many more applications, especially for magic and divination, for rituals or even for creating talismans or spells. Although many secrets behind Runes have disappeared along with the ancient runemasters and today we have only scattered fragments of runic history, it's undeniable the importance that these symbols had in Norse culture, under every aspect of life, from the holiest to every day.
