This Norse Futhark Runes Print is the ideal wall piece for those who appreciate Viking and Nordic culture.
Runes were first used by the ancient Germanic and Nordic people as a beautiful form of writing. Each rune had a specific meaning and was often used in conjunction with other runes to create the desired impact. Over time, the use of runes spread throughout Europe and eventually became part of many pagan and magical traditions.
The Norse people first used the runic alphabet as their means of written communication. Runes functioned as letters but were thought of as much more than that. Each rune was a pictographic symbol of a cosmological idea. Runes in the Viking Age were usually carved onto stone, wood, bone or any hard surface to invoke meaning.
