 Runic alphabet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In his book, Blum writes the meanings of the runes "came to him" (that is, he either made them up, or else received them as a revelation, but did not derive these from scholarly research).
Theories of the existence of Gothic runes have been advanced, even identifying them as the original alphabet from which the Futhark were derived, but these have little support in actual findings.
The Edward-script was in use until the 1910s in Älvdalen, Dalecarlia, and also appears on the Kensington Runestone, which to most researchers indicates its status as a hoax.

Blum also was not trying to Christianize the runes.
I didn't notice a heavy Christian slant into his interpretations of the meanings, but I haven't read the references most of the naysayers cite as being better.
He makes no such claim; in fact he says his interpretation was inspired (meaning he invented it).

 Viking Runes and Rune Stones by Jim Cornish
Viking believed that warriors who knew how to read and write runes could blunt enemies' weapons, break chains, cure illnesses, guard against witches and be protected in battle and on threatening seas.
In one way, it's lucky for us they did because some of what we know about them has come from these carvings.
Words were formed by separating groups of runes with a period.

 History of the Runes
What began as a legitimate folkloric resurgence unfortunately became so tainted by Nazi ideology and racism that the research from this period was rendered all but useless to any serious student of runic lore.
This form of the runes is known as the Elder, or Germanic Futhark.
The rune masters were either executed or went underground, and the knowledge of the runes may well have died with them.

The spread of Christianity saw a concerted effort to stamp out the use of the runes.
Indeed it was believed that Odin could resurrect the dead by using the runes.
The precise origins of the runes is unclear and the subject of scholarly debate but it is thought that the evolution of the German rune alphabet was complete by 200AD.

 The Little Giant Encyclopedia of Runes
THE LITTLE GIANT ENCYCLOPEDIA OF RUNES shows you how to tap into the age-old secret power of runes to create a better and more enriching life.
Generally associated with the ancient Northern European peoples, runes are magical symbols that convey the story of creation, life, destruction, and rebirth, and how these forces are constantly occurring on many levels of being.
Runes act as keys to the unknown as well as tools for communicating with divinity, especially the divine within.

 Encyclopedia of Arda: Runes
In Tolkien's universe, it seems that our historical runes supposedly descended from those of Daeron.
There are no such magical connotations associated with runes in Tolkien's work, where they are presented as no more than a writing-system.
Actually, of course, runes are a real historical family of alphabets originating in about the third century CE, and those in Tolkien's books are based on a much later form belonging the Anglo-Saxon period.

 runes
But for those special New Age people with one foot in the world of secrets and the other in the world of mysteries, runes are used as a form of divination.
Runes may have gotten their reputation for being tools of divination when Christian Church leaders claimed they were used to cast magic spells or communicate with the devil.
Though the signs are not described as letters of the runic alphabet, some New Agers have interpreted this passage as evidence both of the existence of runes in the first century and their use in divination.

 Runes
The knowledge of runes also became more widespread because in many places everyday messages from ordinary people and "Viking graffitti" have been found written on wood or bone.
Runes were used in Scandinavia well into the 14th century.
Towards the end of the Viking Age the rune-masters felt the need for more runes in their "futhark" and included some new ones.

The word "rune" itself comes from an early Anglo-Saxon word meaning "secret" or "mystery", and they remain an enigma to the world at large.
      Runes were first used over 1500 years ago by the East Goths, and later appeared throughout England and Scandinavia.
Runes were initially most popular among Wiccans and modern pagans, but have enjoyed unprecedented mainstream adoption in the past 30 years.

 Runes
Some people use runes by laying them out flat face down and laying their hand over them and 'feeling' which one is the right one to pick up.
I know someone and when she does the runes she, she chooses by the tingling she gets in her hand and I feel a warmth and I know that's the rune I must pick up.
I also smear my blood on the back of the rune stones to assimilate my life force into the stones to make them more 'mine'.

 Rune Meanings - The Elder Futhark
The names of the runes of the Elder Futhark are speculative recreations of what linguists call "proto-Germanic", which stems from "proto-Indo-European".
Nevertheless, any of the runes may appear as a "merkstave" (which literally means "dark stick" and implies a "dark" meaning), depending on how the runes are cast.
This helps one to remember their order, and later, you will see, has significance in magical uses.

 Runic alphabet
One theory of the origins of runes is that they were invented by the Goths, but this is impossible to prove as very few inscriptions of writing in Gothic runes survive.
Here are some theories about the origins of runes:
Political inscriptions are to do with matters of the law, historical figures state that they were somewhere hiding from the enemy, secret messages to do with the fighting of wars, etc.

 Runes
Another rune he abused was the lightening shape Sigil which appeared on the lapels of his elite secret service as a double "S."
The Runes are a very strong spiritual tool used today for some in Galdr, which is a form of singing the Runes.
Runes are referred to as Futhark (Germanic) or Futhork (Old English) because their order is different from most alphabets of Indo-European origins.
