Runes

Four Theories of creation

The Roman Theory

This theory was first presented in 1874 by L.F.A. Wimmer and states that
the runes are a result of the adaptation of the Roman (or Latin) alphabet. It
is assumed that the ancient Germanic people, who came into contact with
Roman culture through the invasion of the Teutones and Cimbri, were
familiarized with the Roman written alphabet as early as the 2nd century
B.C.E. They then adapted the Roman alphabet into the runes and put it to
use, spreading it by the means of trading routes into Scandinavian
countries and then eastward from there.

The one thing that we need to watch in this theory is the fact that there is
little evidence of the runes near Roman lands at such a time. However, the
spread of the runes into Scandinavian countries and from there eastward
may mean that the adaptation of the Roman alphabet wasn’t complete until
the runes had begun to spread northward.

The Indigenous Theory

First put forward in 1896 by R.M. Meyer and popularized by National

Socialist Germany, this theory states that the runes were an original
“alphabet.” Not only were they said to be original but they were also said
to have been the groundwork on which the Greek and Phoenician
alphabets were created.
This theory no longer holds much value to it due to the fact that the earliest
Phoenician writings can be dated back to around the 13th or 12th century
B.C.E., while the earliest runic inscription dates back to the 1st century C.E.

The Greek Theory

This theory was first stated in 1899 by Sophus Bugge and talks about how
the ancient Germanic people adapted the Greek alphabet to create the
runes. The theory goes that the Goths had come into contact with a cursive
form of the Greek alphabet. The Goths then adapted the cursive form of
that alphabet for their own use allowing the new alphabet to spread with
them as they traveled.

There are problems with this theory, which have led it to be abandoned by
many people. Again we see a fault in the times for this theory. The earliest
the Goths would have been able to adapt such an alphabet is around 200
C.E. and the earliest runic inscription would have been earlier than that.

The North-Italic Theory

This theory by C.J.S. Marstrander in 1928 was strengthened in 1937 by

Wolfgang Krause. The theory goes that the Germanic people living in the
Alps came into contact with the North-Italic (or Etruscan) alphabet and
adapted it. Then the Cimbri come into contact with the “new” alphabet and
pass it on to the Suevi who carry the runes up the Rhine river to the North
Sea, Jutland and beyond.

The only real “problem” with this scenario is that the encounter would
have taken place two to three hundred before any runic inscriptions that
are already dated
. But this doesn’t mean that it couldn’t have happened. Items made of
wood may have been carved with the runes and may have long since
decayed.

Rune for weekend

Divinity : Urd, The goddess of past (one of the three norns)

Phonétique : OO as in booze (Pronounces: "Oor-ooze" )

Symbol : The cow (mother symbol)

Element : Earth

Tree : Birch

Plant : Iceland moss (Cetraria islandica)

Stone : Azurite

Color : Dark blue

Animal : The Cow and the cattle generally

Uruz the second letter of the futhark represents the Aurochs (*), dreaded
and admired because of its strength, its long horns and its imposing size.
The shape of this rune reminds the horns of the aurochs. Uruz symbolizes
the indomitable strength of this primitive bovid, the infinite power of the
universe. It is the rune of the inner strength, the perseverance and the
energy. However its hooked shape has to incite us to think before acting.

Receptacle of Fehu, which needs a nourishing earth to express itself, Uruz

is in direct relation with the mother archetype. It indicates the sacred
power of gestation and the miracle to create the life. Uruz contains the
intuitive wisdom and all the availability of the Mother and in a latent state :
Love, vitality and strength.

Divinatory value : Health recovery, active protection or sensible advice, it

announces an evolution in the complex situations. Indicates a gestation, a
break for recharging one's batteries.

Spiritual value : Active meditation and introspection to clear up your

spirituality. Silence and listening are dominating over the movement and
the expression. Horns are spiritual symbols and sign of wisdom, the divine
power opposite to the temporal power.

Physiological value : Central nervous system, digestive system, the

vertebral column, respiratory system, genital organs and the hearing.

Wisdom guidance : " Caution and meditation! A time of reflection is always

necessary before acting. Do not overestimate your strength, each needs a
help the time comes. You can't acquire experience overnight !"
