This Viking skull is tattooed with runes. Runes are an ancient alphabet that was used by the Vikings and other Nordic peoples. Each rune has a specific meaning, which can be divined through a process called "runecasting."
There are many different theories about the origins of runes, but the most likely explanation is that they were developed by the Vikings themselves. The Vikings were highly literate people, and they had a need for a written alphabet that could be used to record their sagas and poems. The Vikings also had a strong belief in the power of magic, and they believed that runes could be used for divination and protection.
The Vikings weren't the only ones who used runes. Runes were also popular among the Germanic tribes, and they were even used by the Celts. Runes were also used by the Anglo-Saxons, who adapted them from the Vikings.
The most famous rune alphabet is the Elder Futhark, which was used by the Vikings. The Younger Futhark is a later version of the Elder Futhark that was used by the Anglo-Saxons.
Runes were usually carved into wood or stone, and they were often used as charms or amulets. They were also used to write messages, and they were sometimes used as grave markers. Runes were also carved into the hilts of swords, and they were sometimes used as currency.
Runes fell out of use after the Christianization of Scandinavia, but they have experienced a revival in recent years. Many people now use runes for divination, and they are also popular among neo-pagans and Heathens.
