Runes
Runes were the alaphabetic symbols used by the Northern Germanic tribes. Another name for the Runes is Futhork, after the first six runic letters. The word RUNE comes from runa, which means "mystery". According to Norse mythology, Odin hung from the Tree of Life (Yggdrasil) for nine days and nights in order to learn the secrets of the runes. Runes were in use primarily between 200 CE and 1200 CE.
