The Vikings believed that their alphabet, runes, could do more than just describe the world. They believed that they also had the power, when used correctly, to shape the world. This is why the Norns wrote the fates of men by carving runes onto the bark of the tree Yggdrasil. This particular runic script is a shorthand prayer to Odin.
Runes were first used by the ancient Germanic and Nordic people as a beautiful form of writing. Each rune had a specific meaning and was often used in conjunction with other runes to create the desired impact. Over time, the use of runes spread throughout Europe and eventually became part of many pagan and magical traditions.
