Runes were used by the ancient Nordic people as a magical
language. Their uses ranged from writing messages and making charms or talismans
to predicting the future and magical work.
In Anglo-Saxon English and Old Norse, the
word Rune meant secret law, mystery and magical signs. Rune Masters, who could
be male or female, were considered to be the most important people in the
community next to the village chief. Identified by their deep blue cloaks and
leather charm pouches which they wore at their belts, the Rune Masters would
normally carry a bronze-tipped wooden staff carved with runic inscriptions to
show their power and status.
Our Rune Charms have been inspired by the
shape of natural stone and rock, and are produced in solid, lead-free pewter.
All charms are supplied with a leaflet explaining it's meaning and how to empower it and black hanging thong.
The runes are approximately ½" wide x 1¼" long.
