Beginners Guide to the Wall of Runes

Alright, let’s talk about this… this “wall of runes,” or whatever them fancy folks call it. Don’t know much about it myself, but I’ve heard things, seen things, you know? Just gonna tell ya what I know, plain and simple, like it is.

First off, runes, they ain’t just chicken scratch on rocks, no sirree. They’re more than that. Some say they’re like… like living things. Sounds crazy, I know, but that’s what they say. Imagine that! You carve somethin’ on a stone, and bam! It’s alive! Well, not alive like you and me, but… alive with somethin’. Power, maybe? Who knows.

And get this, these runes, they ain’t just a bunch of random marks. They’re like… like letters, you know? Like the A-B-C’s, but different. They call it an alphabet, a “Germanic” alphabet. Sounds fancy, right? But it’s just a way of writin’ stuff down, same as we do, but different letters. These letters, they got names too, just like our letters. And they say each one means somethin’ special. Like, one rune might mean “strength,” another might mean “travel,” stuff like that. It’s all a bit much for my old brain, to be honest.

  • They say there’s a bunch of these runes, like, 24 of ’em or somethin’.
  • And they got ’em all lined up in groups, like families, they call ’em “aett.”
    • Don’t ask me why, sounds like gibberish to me.
  • And they call the whole shebang “futhark.”
    • Again, no idea why, probably some old-timey reason.

Now, where did these runes come from? That’s the million-dollar question, ain’t it? Nobody really knows for sure. Some say they came from way up north, in them cold countries, Scandinavia or somethin’. And they say folks used to carve these runes on big ol’ stones, like tombstones, almost. They call ’em “runestones.” Imagine that, writin’ on rocks! We got paper now, thank the Lord.

But these runes ain’t just for writin’ grocery lists, oh no. Some folks say they can tell the future with ’em. Yeah, you heard that right, fortune tellin’! They throw these little rune stones, or wood pieces, or whatever they got, and then they look at how they land, and they tell you what’s gonna happen. Now, I ain’t sayin’ I believe it, but it’s what they do. They say each rune has a meaning, and depending on where it lands, it means different things.

Like, they might throw three runes. One for what’s happenin’ now, one for the trouble you’re facin’, and one for what you can do about it. Sounds like a load of hogwash to me, but hey, some folks swear by it. They say you gotta put the runes in a certain order too, right to left, or somethin’ like that. And each rune, it’s got its own little story to tell. It’s complicated, I tell ya.

And it ain’t just about tellin’ the future neither. Some folks say you can use these runes to… to change things, to make things happen. Like magic, I guess. They say you gotta carve the rune, color it, and then… chant its name. Chant its name! Sounds like somethin’ them witches do in the movies. But that’s what they say. They say the runes got power, and if you know how to use ’em, you can do all sorts of things.

Now, me? I don’t know about all that. I’m just a simple person, you know? I don’t go around throwin’ rocks and chantin’ names. But I’ve seen enough in my life to know that there’s more to this world than meets the eye. Maybe these runes, maybe they do have somethin’ to ’em. Maybe they ain’t just chicken scratch after all.

But one thing I do know, learnin’ about this stuff ain’t easy. It’s all complicated and confusing, with all them fancy words and whatnot. But if you’re interested, go ahead, read up on it. Just don’t come cryin’ to me if you get lost in all the mumbo jumbo. I warned ya!
