Runes

This is the Elder Futhark, a Proto-Norse runic alphabet. The Elder Futhark predates the Younger Futhark, which are the actual Viking runes. The Elder Futhark contains more "letters" than the Younger and is more widely referenced today.

Runes can have MANY meanings, and there are many sources of this information. Choose a rune that supports what you want to achieve or areas where you are struggling and need support. The runes can serve to strengthen existing qualities, help you to introduce new ones, or to remove those that no longer serve you. Ultimately, you should decide based on your intuition.
