Some UPG regarding the runes

I was instructed by Odin several months ago to learn the runes. From what I’ve read this is often seen as a way to honor him and his sacrifice but it’s also a contentious issue in the heathen community. most people fall into the one of two camps. either they think the runes are magick, or think they’re just an alphabet. But even if they are an alphabet there is still something to be gained from studying them.

each rune has its own meaning; wealth, justice, communication. it’s pretty common for people learning rune lore to be told to spend a week or two meditating on each rune and pondering its meaning and this is where the benefits come in.

the ultimate goal of magick is attaining wisdom. time spent pondering the meaning of the concepts that the runes represent is time spent analyzing the true meaning of what those things are. a world where people are introspective, and think deeply and critically about important things, is a better world and that is a great benefit of studying rune lore.

Anyway. that’s my UPG. end rant
