The Elder Futhark is one of the oldest known runic alphabets, consisting of 24 runes used from about 150 to 800 AD. Named from the first  6 letters (Fehu, Uruz, Thurisaz, Ansuz, Raidho, Kenaz), its letters were arranged in three groups of eight called 'ættir' (meaning families) and have their own "Mother Rune". Although runes were traditionally used for fortune-telling, they have evolved into versatile divination tools that can also be used in meditation and self-reflection. A typical rune set consists of 24 symbols from an ancient Norse alphabet; often crafted from materials like wood, stones or glass. Much like tarot cards, runes can also be read either upright or reversed, affecting their meaning.

Unlike modern alphabets, runes are imbued with meaning and linked to universal energies that have evolved over time, making them just as relevant today as they were thousands of years ago. Each rune carries three key aspects:

1. The Symbol: The shape and its representation.
2. The Name: The word’s meaning, letter value, and sound.
3. The Energy: The spirit or essence that the rune embodies.
