![]() Traditionally, the Elder Futhark contains 24 different letters that are divided into three groups, or “aetts” (“eights”). The name “ Futhark” is actually an acronym for the first six runes: Fehu, Uruz, Thurisaz, Ansuz, Raidho, and Kennaz. The Elder Futhark Runes are considered to be the oldest rune system. The alphabet was finalized somewhere around the fifth century, and it was most famously used in carvings on runestones all across Sweden and other Scandinavian countries. Runic symbols have held a deep spiritual significance for Germanic and Norse people for thousands of years, and the first discovery of their usage was noted in Denmark around AD 150. Norse people also believed that, apart from writing, these runes could also be used for divination. In this way, whoever used the runes was believed to be performing magic. ![]() Their name originates from the Old Germanic “rūn”, meaning “secret” or “mystery”, and the Old Norse “rún” referring to the letters themselves that people thought contained magic. Each carved rune had a separate name, pronunciation, and meaning. The letters weren’t just found carved in rocks, but also in jewelry, weapons, animal bones, and wood. Rune symbols were originally used as an alphabet for several Germanic languages before the Latin alphabet was introduced.

Perhaps they will come of some use, or even be a guidline to a better version of the set. I am also not aware of any Futhark Rune brushes on dA.

Not many Odhinnists, that I know of, exist in practice today. ![]() Unfortunately, the language of Wotan's Ravens was faded out and carried to current times by very few who cared to keep the language sacred and alive. Odhinnism primarily has to do with drawing wisdom from your ancients, which requires knowing your blood and bloodline. It was also used to bind ancient messages of their wisdom and knoweledge to further generations of their people. Odhinnists tend to draw power from the Ravens' language and use them to unearth what they believed was information about the world around them Wotan/Odhinn/Odin wished them to know. Elder Futhark runes were the first runes to be used by the Teutonic people (it is false to think they are purely Norse/Scandinavian) and the supposed language of Odhinn/Odin/Wotan's two ravens Huginn (Knoweledge) and Munnin (Memory).
