Elder Futhark Runes
These are the runes that I use as I learned them from the Whispering Woods Rune Lore course. These are the simplified meanings, but can be just as useful. The information and images are borrowed with permission from Crick and the Whispering Woods coven. I highly suggest taking a class on rune lore before using runes for divination and, especially, before practicing rune magick.
