Ég finn fyrir ást og umhyggju annarra.
Það er þörf fyrir mig og ég er elskuð.
Ég ber umhyggju fyrir sjálfum mér.

ImageThe runes are from our ancestors and were used both as a writing language and magical symbols. The bag contains 25 stones from the seashore and each of them has a symbol. Whith each bag comes a brochure that explains the rune symbols and how to use them.

The first glyphs were called runes, from the Gothic runa, meaning a secret thing, a mystery.
The old Germanic rune alphabet is known as the futhark after its first six letters F-U-TH-A-R-K  The traditional Germanic futhark is comprised of twenty-four Runes.

levels_202_x_240According to legend, Odin hung for nine nights on Yggdrasil, the Tree of the World, wounded by his own blade, tormented by hunger, thirst and pain, unaided and alone. However, before he fell, he spied the Runes and, with a last tremendous effort, seized them.

In the Old Norse poem The Poetic Edda, Odin, the great rune Master, speaks across the centuries.
The motto for the runes could be the same words that were carved above the gate of the Oracle at Delphi: Know thyself. The Runes are a teacher and a source of guidance. Consider this Oracle, if you will, as a sacred game, or use it for inspiration.

The Viking Runes are a mirror for the magic of our Knowing Selves.
